Fertilize Your Lawn with Kitchen and Yard Waste (a.k.a. Compost)
Compost naturally provides the nutrients your lawn and garden need to grow and stay healthy — and you can easily make your own from kitchen and yard waste.
If you're not sure your compost is up to snuff, you can test it. And if you aren't up for making your own, you can often find it from your town transfer station (just be sure it isn't made with herbicide-laced grass or sewage sludge).
Need more details? You can find all you need to know about how to make and use compost — including how to make a "compost tea" that helps your lawn or garden absorb compost's nutrients fast.
