Garden composter 500 l

Garden compost is used to convert organic waste, such as garden waste and kitchen waste, into nutrient-rich compost. Compost is a valuable soil conditioner that can be used to grow plants in the garden.

Here are some of the main reasons to use a garden composter:

• Improving soil fertility: compost adds organic matter to the soil, which improves soil structure, water retention and air exchange.
• Reducing waste: composting reduces the amount of municipal waste going to landfill.
• Sustainable fertilisation: compost is a natural fertiliser that reduces the need for chemical fertilisers.
• Improving plant health: compost contains micro-organisms that help plants absorb nutrients and protect them from disease.

The following waste can be put in the garden composter:

• Garden waste: leaves, grass, twigs, plant residues
• Kitchen waste: fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, tea packets, eggshells.
• Paper and cardboard (small quantities)

It is important to remember that composting is not allowed:

• Meat and fish waste
• Dairy products
• Oil-treated food
• Diseased plants
• Oat seed envelopes

Composting is a simple and environmentally friendly way to manage garden waste and improve soil fertility.
