Why compost?
- it's good for your garden - digging compost into your soil improves on its texture and nutritional quality, which in turn produces healthier plants
- it's good for the environment - organic rubbish that is sent to landfill breaks down without air, which causes methane to be produced. Methane is a greenhouse gas twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Also, making your own compost saves you from buying peat-based compost. Peat bogs are a natural habitat
- it's good for your pocket - composting your kitchen and garden waste at home saves on car journeys and provides you with your own versatile, valuable free resource

Residents with smaller gardens or back yards might want to consider setting up a wormery.
