LEARN HOW - a guide to composting
Composting is a really easy way to make use of your garden and kitchen waste, saving it from expensive and environmentally damaging landfill.
Over 30% of household waste is recyclable. This means real savings for you and the environment. Compost is also a great sustainable alternative to peat moss. Your garden will love it! Wormeries work in a similar way to composters.
Composting is a process that turns organic waste — up to 50% of household waste — into rich compost that your garden will love. When a mix of organic waste is composted, a simple process happens. First, tiny micro-organisms like bacteria break down the softer elements of the waste. Once this has been consumed, larger organisms like worms and beetles move in, and work in the tougher parts. By the end of the process the original ingredients have been broken down, mixed together and resemble soil.
The attached guide gives you advice on the best way of getting the most from your compost bins.
