Home composting

Composting your waste is a cheap, natural process. It allows you to recycle your kitchen and garden waste into valuable food for your garden.

You can buy compost bins, at discounted prices from £10, call 0844 571 4444 or visit Get Composting.

To make your own compost you'll need to use a mix of 'green' and 'brown' organic material. If it's too dry you'll need to add more green material.

If you don't have a garden you can still compost your kitchen waste by using a wormery or bokashi bucket. This will turn your leftovers into nourishing soil conditioner for your plant pots.
