Benefits of Home Composting
Composting at home is a great way to dispose of your kitchen and garden waste. Your kitchen and garden waste breaks down to produce compost to help your garden grow.
- It reduces waste sent to landfill.
- It saves money by avoiding having to buy compost.
- It provides a free soil conditioner and helps soil retain moisture.
- It improves plant health and growth – and can increase yields of fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs.
The Home Composting campaign is supported by the Scottish Government and this allows us to offer a range of compost bins at reduced prices.
