Home Composting

 

Composting at home has so many benefits both to you and the environment. It's cheap and easy to do; you get a nutritious soil conditioner to use on your garden, flower beds and patio planters, and by recycling your organic waste through home composting you can reduce the amount of refuse you put out for collection and ulitimately the amount of waste going to landfill.

These are some of the materials that can be added to your compost bin to make great compost:

 

  • Fruit and vegetable scraps and tea bags.
  • Annual weeds and grass cuttings.
  • Green hedge cuttings.
  • Scrunched up cardboard.
