WHY COMPOST?
Making compost at home is an eco-friendly way of using kitchen and plant waste to create what many gardeners refer to as “black gold” because of the wealth of benefits it offers. The main function of compost is to condition the soil, improving drainage on heavy clays while enabling sandy soils to retain more moisture. It also contains essential nutrients and encourages worm activity, helping to increase soil fertility and feed plants slowly as the organic matter breaks down. These rewards are combined with benefits to the wider environment, such as reducing landfill and other forms of pollution.

Compost recycles the nutrients and microorganisms in your kitchen scraps and garden waste, then returns them to the soil, boosting the performance of your ornamental plants and productive crops.
