Composting

What it is

Composting is part of any complete household environmental strategy. You benefit the earth in more ways than one - not only are you not contributing to landfills, you're returning the goodness of nature back to nature!

Compost holds nutrients from decaying material in a form that is easily absorbed by plants. Leaves, grass clippings and food wastes are suitable for composting. Compost is especially beneficial when combined with manure.

Compost puts your garbage to work for you. Part science, part art - it's all good!
