Compost like soil is not the same everywhere. Some so called soil amendments sold as compost are far from what their name implies. However, most if not all of the bagged composts on the market are of good quality and are made according to strict standards adopted by the producing companies.

What are the different types of composts?

There are three kinds: aerobic, anaerobic, and vermicomposting. Each has its pros and cons. Households, farms, restaurants, schools, offices and places of business produce compostable materials. For example, food scraps, grass clippings, leaves, animal manure, and coffee grounds are all compostable.
