National Composting Week is coming up soon! Sunday 6 to Saturday 12 May 2012 is National Composting Week!
So use this as an excuse to get composting!
You can have either a compost heap or a compost bin. A bin is tidier though!
You then have the choice as to have a cold heap or a hot heap? A hot heap is more complicated as you need to save layers of things and build a pile all in one go… Or you could treat yourself to this amazing compost bin called the Hotbin!
GreenFingers have this fantastic compost bin
HotBin Composter £137.99
90 days to homemade compost.
This hotbin can handle virtually all UK domestic food and garden waste and is the size of a wheelie bin. Manufactured from expanded polypropylene making it 100% recyclable it is a 200 litre hot aerobic composting bin that can easily achieve a temperature of 60’C. You can safely compost cooked food waste in this compost bin.
Look out for local composting events – perhaps your council will be giving away compost bins, or having composting lessons?
