Without replacing this nutrient we can make the soil barren and infertile to all but the hardiest plants. Leading often to the use of chemical fertilizers and feeds. An excellent alternative to these, while keeping your garden tidy, is home composting of garden and organic household waste. This it goes straight to landfill, fermenting and producing large quantities of the greenhouse gas methane. Home composting is therefore an excellent solution to these problems, minimising our landfill waste and recycling it back into our gardens.
Organic waste is anything that was once living.
Kitchen scraps and peel, garden cuttings, dead leaves, and even cardboard. This is supplied through any green, or fresh vegetative matter. This is supplied in the dead organic mater, such as dead leaves. Like us, the microorganisms living in the compost need oxygen. This help speed the breakdown process.
