To kick off they new year, we're continuing our composting series! Here's a break down of the four primary phases of composting. Stay tuned for more soilutions!

[Cornell Climate Smart Farming @ClimateSmartCU]

Here's a breakdown of all the different types of #composting! All methods simply need 30:1 of carbon and nitrogen, moisture, and oxygen...that means composting can happen at ANY scale from industrial farms to your own backyard!

Did you know 20 to 30 percent of what we throw away could be #composted? Not only can composting reduce #greenhousegasses but it can also greatly improve #soil health!
Who knew your pizza crust could fight climate change?

[Cornell Climate Smart Farming @ClimateSmartCU]

Let's dig into #composting! Did you know your pizza crust or banana peels can be turned into a nutrient-rich soil additive? Forgot the landfill, these scraps are going somewhere useful!

#Soil organic matter is the foundation of healthy soil. Made up of decomposed plant and animal material, it improves soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. The more diverse, the healthier the soil! 🌿

[Cornell Climate Smart Farming @ClimateSmartCU]

This digital tool helps farmers optimize #nitrogen use, reducing runoff and protecting #soilhealth. Proper nitrogen management prevents soil acidification, reduces pollution, and boosts crop yields. 🌱
