A rich black soil additive that is made out of food waste is referred to as ‘black gold. And this black gold improves soil health dramatically, making a positive impact on small home gardens or large community gardens. The process for creating black gold involves composting, which is the biological decomposition of organic matter. Composting occurs naturally, but the process can be accelerated, and it is an economically-friendly method to improve the performance of gardens of all sizes.
