Home composting
Home composting helps your garden, and the
environment too! It’s one of the most environmentally friendly ways
of recycling biodegradable waste that would normally be sent for
landfill, and it even saves money on fertilizer.
With a home compost bin you could use material
that is normally thrown away – raw fruit and vegetable scraps,
garden waste, paper and cardboard – to make your very own compost.
So it’s a great way to help reduce the amount of waste that you put
into your bin
