Home Composting

Composting at home is a great way to dispose of your kitchen and garden waste. Home composting is a great way to prevent unavoidable food waste, such as peelings, cores and teabags, ending up in landfill and can do wonders for the garden. Home composting is a great idea because it:

reduces waste sent to landfill
saves money by avoiding having to buy compost
provides a free soil conditioner and helps soil retain moisture
improves plant health and growth and can increase yields of fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs.

More and more local councils are encouraging home composting and have schemes in place to help you get started. Why not visit your local website and find out more (visit NI Direct for further information). We also have a how to compost guide to start you on your way.
