Home composting is one of the most effective actions you can take to reduce methane, (a highly potent greenhouse gas) and help the planet!
Composting also helps to reduce your waste, reduce air pollution (by not having bonfires) and reduce the need to water your garden.
You will also reap the benefits of increased plant growth and improved plant health, from replacing polluting and toxic chemical fertilisers and pesticides with a natural, home-made alternative.
Composts are also great for wildlife! Not only does the compost increase the biodiversity in your garden soil when you use it, it also attracts, and sometimes houses, a variety of animals whilst it’s developing. Insects, toads, hedgehogs and a variety of other creatures are known to enjoy the warmth, shelter and food on offer in a compost.
There’s also the added benefit of saving money, as the cost of buying fertiliser from the store is ever increasing!
