Did you know the average household throws away 86 kilogrammes of edible food every year?
If we compost this food waste and our garden waste we can:
- reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
- reduce our environmental impact
- produce a valuable compost we can use at home
- reduce our need for artificially manufactured fertilizers
- be more sustainable at home and in the garde
If you're keen to give it a try but don't know where to start, here's some useful information to get you going:
