Composting at home is a great way to reduce the volume of waste going to landfill. It’s great for garden wildlife too.
You can include:
- torn up cardboard
- fruit and vegetable peelings
- grass cuttings
This helps to create a nutrient rich compost for your garden.
Once the food is broken down to compost, dig the nutrient rich material into your soil.
This breaking down usually takes a year but can be sped up by:
- making sure you have the right balance between green and brown matter in the bin
- ensuring the contents of the bins are not too wet or too dry
- stirring contents of the composter to keep it aerated
- locating your home composter in a sunny position
