An ancient practice, composting is mentioned in the Bible several
times and can be traced to Marcus Cato, a farmer and scientist who
lived in Rome 2,000 years ago. Cato viewed compost as the
fundamental soil enhancer, essential for maintaining fertile and
productive agricultural land. He stated that all food and animal wastes
should be composted before being added to the soil. By the 19th
century in America, most farmers and agricultural writers knew about
composting. Today there are several different reasons why
composting remains an invaluable practice.
