Garden recycling

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
