Composting

Reduce your kitchen and garden waste by making great compost for your garden.

Composting is an environmentally friendly way of getting rid of organic waste from your kitchen and garden, giving you a completely natural, peat free compost to dig back into your garden or add to your potted plants.

By composting your own food and garden material you will be doing your bit to reduce waste, put less in your grey bin, save money, and create free goodies for your garden at the same time.

How to compost

There are some great resources available that show you how to compost garden and food waste and help you find the method that will suit you the best, whether you have a few plant pots or a big outdoor space. You can find out more at RHS: Composting
