Clean water tables have less toxic pesticides
Ashes to ashes, worms to worms. Shakespeare or somebody said something like that. The dirty truth about composting is that it involves…worms. Those little cans of discarded refuse and kitchen scraps have immortal yet banal destinies. Just imagine if fifty years of garbage disposal matter had been composted across the United States instead of gurgled down the drain.
Purchased composting material has included grubworms to start a huge composting pile. Keeping it alive with fresh worm grub feeding fodder is the homeowner’s responsibility. This is the natural counteraction to pesticides and chemicals in planting. The intentional biodegradation of matter from household use makes composting part of any green lifestyle.
Yes, the gardening and recycling craze of this environmental year involves glamourous grubs. Getting metabolized by micro-organisms is a necessary part of composting. What the soil doesn’t consume gets repurposed naturally. Of course, other macro-organisms are involved.
The concept of recycling is labeled upcycling. This concept adds in added environmental benefit to the entire process. Bringing down the volume of curbside garbage and reducing transport volumes to landfills. Little microorganisms like ants, worms, and other bugs work the soil until it is fresh and renewed.
