Summary

This action plan was created to plan the action steps needed to achieve a composting program with
the community at Taman Pulai Flora Garden. Composting is a natural process to turn organic
material into a soil amendment and is possible in almost every setting. Compost acts as a food
source, a probiotic, and a sponge for the soil underneath it; it makes soil more fertile and efficient,
and supports the intricate ecosystem that healthy soil keeps.
