Compost Awareness Week kicks off this year on 4th May.
|
| |
|
The week aims to encourage more people to recognise the benefits of home composting and the great results that can be achieved by using peat-free composts containing recycled material. As a nation we produce around 30 million tonnes of waste each year, and over half of this can be easily recycled. In fact, over one third of the contents of an average UK household bin can be home composted, not to mention all the garden waste that can be added to the compost bin.

Compost at home…it’s free, easy and fun!
|
| |
|
An easy way to green up your kitchen is by composting at home. You’ll be surprised by the number of items that can be composted – from vegetable peelings to egg shells, pet hair to the contents of your vacuum cleaner – the possibilities are endless. Home composting is good news for the environment because it helps to cut down the amount of rubbish we throw away. Visit http://www.recyclenow.com/home_composting/ for more information.

Buy Peat-Free Compost…and green up your garden
|
| |
|
Using finished home compost on your beds and borders is a great way to keep plants and vegetables strong and healthy. Another good way to green up your garden is to buy peat-free compost containing recycled materials – not only are you helping keep your garden green, you’re helping the planet too.
