Adding compost to your garden provides essential nutrients for plant growth, it helps to fertilise soil and creates a healthy environment for plants and crops.
Why is composting and worm farming important?
Compost plays a crucial role towards building a sustainable environment for future generations. By composting food waste you are diverting organic waste from landfill and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the environment. Around 8% of greenhouse gases heating the planet are caused by food waste - if food waste was a country, it would be the third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after USA and China.
How do I start a compost or worm farm?
