Composting

Composting

Did you know around half of what we throw away in our garbage bins each week could go into a compost bin or worm farm?

Composting is the traditional method of breaking organic matter down into nutrient-rich soil conditioner.  The finished product improves soil structure, and makes the perfect platform for growing plants, especially fruits and vegetables. Using compost can increase your crop yields without the need for adding synthetic chemicals or expensive fertilisers.
