Composting
Composting practices
Did you know that composting at home offers many benefits to your surroundings? One notable advantage is the prevention of unpleasant odours, particularly during the hottest months of the year.
When organic waste decomposes in landfills, it often emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. In contrast, properly managed composting systems at home allow for aerobic decomposition, minimising the production of foul-smelling gases.
The result - a fresher environment around your home and a reduced carbon footprint.
Moreover, composting enriches the soil with valuable nutrients, fostering healthier plant growth and providing a natural layer of protection to the land. By returning organic matter to the soil, compost helps retain moisture, improves soil structure, and encourages beneficial microbial activity. This, in turn, promotes biodiversity and resilience in your garden or landscape.
