Basically there are two reasons to compost. The first is to recycle leftover food, grass cuttings, and fallen leaves that might ordinarily end up in a landfill. The second is supplementary to the first–you use the compost as fertilizer. There are many ways to store the compost until it’s ready to use.

You may also want to plant more flora that don’t need a lot of water. Don’t Waste Food. When you waste food, you’re not just wasting food—you’re also wasting the resources used to grow and make it. This means you waste water, fertiliser, soil, and even the fuel used to transport your food.

We recently planted an orange tree and I can’t wait until it is producing so I can have fresh squeezed orange juice, sliced oranges on my salad, orange marmalade, or just a quick snack!
