Methane is 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
There are many reasons to home compost:
It needs absolutely no technical know. Eventually everything will turn to compost!
It
hugely reduces the amount of waste you generate. This saves space in landfill sites, which will ultimately save on your taxes, especially when eventually in the UK, we will be charged on how much waste we produce.
Less waste buried means doing your bit, and reducing greenhouse gases, helping to combat the effects of global warming.
Re-using of organic materials.
Finished compost is a fantastic natural fertilizer which plants and gardens love.
You are recycling natural nutrients.
Conditioning and feeding your soil without chemicals. Compost retains the moisture in the soil, loosening it and allowing better aeration and drainage. This encourages the increase of soil organisms which help make any nutrients available to plants. It adds body to light dusty soils and loosens heavy, sticky soils.
It is much more environmentally friendly than synthetic fertilizers.
It's free!
It's easy to do!
