SOIL HEALTH & COMPOST
At Solana Center, we are down to earth! Our team of experts offer resources for the many ways you can compost, improve soil health, and prevent pollution. Often misconstrued with dirt, soil is a living ecosystem and life-giving natural resource. Healthy soil sustains plants, animals, and humans and is teeming with billions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes! Composting is an easy way to convert organic materials such as kitchen and yard waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment and water-retaining mulch for your garden.
