ECO WORKSHOP – Composting 101

Composting is a great alternative to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a compost bin you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Compost is ideal natural fertiliser for your garden and costs nothing! Our Composting 101 Workshop covers the following topics:
