Composting
If you love whipping up a healthy dinner for you and your family, then how about extending your healthy approach to your garden?
If you use the five-a-day fruit/vegetable principle, then it's likely you'll be creating enough compostable kitchen waste to fill a six-foot fridge freezer every month, all of which can easily be fed to a compost bin to create a healthy garden!
All your vegetable and fruit peelings, teabags, paper towels, eggshells can just be thrown straight into a bowl or kitchen caddy, and when it's full, empty into your compost bin along with your garden waste. Then the compost process begins, and you end up with lovely home-made compost for you to use!
So its not just garden waste that can go into a compost bin. Its easy and cheap to make compost and all you just need to do is follow a few simple steps and there are loads of people now composting, why don't you join them by getting a compost bin and giving it a try! There are great seasonal tips, composting information sheets and trouble shooting tips on the Recycle Now Composting website.
