Benefits of Composting

Compost has many benefits as it is the most environmentally-friendly way of dealing with kitchen and garden waste, plus it produces nutrient-rich compost that can be used as an excellent soil improver. Composting is easy and can be done all year round and can be done in any outdoor space making it accessible to most people. Even though councils offer green waste collections, encouraging home composting is a better alternative as it does not involve heavy transport, with its associated environmental costs.

How to Start a Compost Heap

Starting a compost heap is simple and quick. We recommend investing in a compost bin which will provide insulation and aeration, provide a tidy space to store your compost and reduces user maintenance. Investing in our range of compost bins you can rest assured that the highest quality materials have been used to construct the garden accessory so that the product has a long usable life, is recyclable and is easy to install. Another great benefit of using a garden composter is it can provide style and character to your outdoor space which would rather be a pile of dirt.

Alternatively, you can read about creating a compost heap from The Eden Project Blog.

What Can You Compost?

There is a huge amount of garden and kitchen waste which you can put into your compost bin. Compostable items are broken down into two categories, ‘greens’ and ‘browns’. Greens include grass cuttings, young weeds, spent plants, tea bags, coffee grounds, and vegetable peelings. These rot quickly to provide nitrogen and moisture which is vital for your compost. Browns include straw, sticks and twigs, wool, hair, cardboard, sawdust, and ashes. These rot more slowly, and create air pockets as well as providing fibre and carbon. Crushed eggshells are also a good source of minerals. We recommend a 50% greens and 50% browns mix for some excellent compost.

We wouldn’t recommend composting milk products, cooking oils, meat, used personal products, rice and bread products. These can attract pests to your compost heap and make your fresh compost a health hazard.
