Composting transforms your food and garden waste into soil; it’s a natural form of recycling. It helps reduce landfill waste, actively combats climate change, promotes biodiversity, and helps a garden flourish — and it’s easier than you think. 

Elan Margulies, Director at Pushing the Envelope Farm, Geneva, IL, presents different types of composting and how to build healthy compost — whether you live in the city or suburbs. 

Grandchildren will love it—especially the worm compost bin!
