Composting Tips
Home composting is an economical and convenient alternative to
bagging garden debris for disposal. Composting, a form of 'natural'
recycling, takes ordinary green and brown garden waste and transforms it into a
superior soil amendment that improves the health of plants. Compost
enhances water absorption in the garden and is an attractive mulch that
promotes weed and erosion control. Whether it's done in your backyard or in a
large-scale, centralised facility, composting helps to keep the high volume of
organic material out of landfill and turns it into a useful
product.
