Gardening Top Tips

Image: 

Below you can find some great top tips to help you reduce, reuse and recycle in the garden, and get the most out of your compost:

  • Grow your own veg.  Visit http://www.rhs.org.uk/gardening/grow-your-own for some handy advice.
  • Start home composting and turn garden and kitchen waste into an organic peat free compost. Reduced cost compost bins are currently available to Devon residents, click here for more info in your area.
  • Cut grass often enough to enable cuttings to be left on lawns.
  • Hire or borrow - toys, tools, books, films etc - whenever you can.
  • Fix it, don't bin it!
  • Plastic bottles can be used as mini 'greenhouses' for young plants. Yoghurt pots are good for seedlings.
