Everything you could possibly want to know about how to successfully run a compost bin and a worm farm.
Composting and worm farming are great alternatives to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a compost bin or worm farm you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Compost and worm ‘castings’ are both ideal natural fertiliser for your garden.
Our Composting and Worms Workshop is great for beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills, and covers the following topics:
- Why compost or have a worm farm? Learn why food scraps & garden waste must be taken out of our rubbish bins
