International Compost Awareness Week
May 7-13, 2017
1. Send less to landfill. Organics represent over one-third of the materials being sent to landfills. Whether through backyard or utilizing Lemieux Composting Drop-off Site, those leaves, garden waste and other organic materials can be recycled.
2. Reduce greenhouse gases. According to Environment Canada, landfill sites account for about 38 per cent of Canada’s total methane emissions. It’s the organics that are buried in the landfill that are a key contributor to this production of greenhouse gases. To avoid this utilize Lemieux Composting Drop-off Site. 3. Recover valuable materials. Composting produces compost, the single most important ingredient for healthy and productive soil. You can purchase compost from the only licensed bulk distributor in Algoma, Lemieux Composting. 4. Decrease soil erosion. Soil erosion can remove nutrients from the soil, reducing its productivity, as well as reducing runoff that can carry sediment, nutrients and chemicals into waterways thereby creating new sources of pollution. Compost helps enhance soil structure and binds soil particles together. Two products that Lemieux Composting exclusively carry are their Garden Mix and Organic Compost. 5. Revitalize soil. Compost helps provide sustenance for the very necessary biological diversity in the soil. Plants depend on this to convert materials into plant available nutrients and to keep the soil well-aerated. Lemieux’s Compost is certainly the gardener’s secret. It is ideal for planting flower gardens, vegetable gardens, shrubs and trees. 6. Reduce the need to water. By improving the soil structure through the addition of compost, water is retained and available for plants. With Lemieux Composting products you will save money and time. 7. Reduce the need for pesticides. Compost can help suppress plant diseases. This supports Lemieux Composting environmentally safe products an alternative rather than the use of chemical products. 8. Save money. Lemieux Composting products Organic Compost and Garden Mix are equivalent in price to lower quality products offered. 9. Make your garden grow. Compost provides essential organic matter for the soil, which is of fundamental importance to its health, vitality and fertility. Just ask the Landscapers and customers of Lemieux Composting. Their gardens and yards are the proven results of using compost. 10. Make a positive environmental difference. With compost, you can take resources otherwise regarded as waste – organic residuals – and turn them into something of value while at the same time realizing landfill and greenhouse reductions, improved soil productivity and water quality. Support Lemieux Composting by utilizing their Drop-off and by purchasing their environmentally friendly products, where together we can make a difference every day. |
