Make your own compost
Instructions
1. Dig a pit in the corner of your garden 2. Line it with the dry grass or straw 3. Place in biodegradeable waste such as foodstuff and garden clippings 4. Cover with a thin layer of soil 5. Water once/twice a week to keep it moist to help the soil bacteria break the compost down 6. Every 2 weeks turn over the contents of the pit. This adds oxygen to help decomposition 7. Add more biodegradeable waste and soil as needed 8. After 3 - 4 months the compost manure will be ready to use on your garden
You will need:
- A spade or shovel - Dry grass or straw - Leftover food waste and garden clippings
A lot of biodegradeable household waste goes to landfill. Composting reduces the rubbish thrown away and can be used in the garden, a great organic fertiliser!
