Welcome
Hello there, I’m your local Home Composting Adviser and I do my bit for the planet and your gardens by sharing my passion for home composting. I can answer your questions about getting started or your “up-and-running” questions so come and say hello when you see me at local shows or when I’m doing events at such as at supermarkets or Household Waste Recycling Centres. If you check this page regularly you'll see where I'm going to be. I’ll be the smiley one in the green outfit.
Why don't you invite me to an event of your own?
I’ll talk to you soon.
Peter.

Danger:Spring Fever Warning:
When will it strike you?.
Hello again to the regular visitors to my web page and welcome to those for whom it's a new thing.
Spring is a great time to start composting, as it’s a good time to get into the garden as the weather starts improving. While the garden may have been lying dormant over the winter, at this time of year it often looks more welcoming. Why not take the opportunity to clear out any garden debris from the winter months, and use this garden waste to give your compost bin a kick-start for the new season? And if you don’t already have a compost bin, there couldn’t be a better time to get started. Composting at home is a great way of providing a free, nutrient-rich fertiliser for your garden – but it’s also an easy way to do your own bit for the environment from the comfort of your own home. When organic waste is put into your black bin bag, it gets taken to landfill, and when it rots down it produces methane, which is a greenhouse gas. By recycling this waste at home in your compost bin, the same waste breaks down in an environmentally friendly way and can then be used to keep your garden green and looking fantastic.Happy Composting
