We need your help! Make your voice heard on pesticides…tell the Government you don’t want glyphosate in your gardens, parks, playgrounds and public spaces. ✋

This is urgent. In December, the Government will decide if it will renew the glyphosate licence. This licence could run until 2041.

Please:
📢 Add your name to our petition & write to your MP at www.gardenorganic.org.uk/glyphosate-campaign.
📢Learn about the dangers of glyphosate – and alternatives for use - at gardenorganic.org.uk/glyphosate.
📢 Like, share and shout about this post to spread the word about this campaign!

Compost bins can often be found advertised for FREE on local Freecycle or Freegle groups, which means you can start composting without spending any money at all. This way you will also be saving the planet by reusing something that its previous owner no longer wants. If you can't find any advertised, try putting a 'wanted' post on your local group page. You may just find that someone has an old bin they need to get rid of and would be happy to let you have it for free.

Secateurs, shears or loppers not cutting like they used to? Don't be too hasty to throw them away and replace them! Take them along to your nearest Repair Cafe and get them fixed or sharpened by an experienced volunteer repairer to give them a new lease of life.

And it's not just garden tools that can be repaired. Depending on the volunteers available, your clothes, furniture, toys and even electricals, computers and mobile phones can be brought back to life, saving you money and conserving precious natural resources.

Find your nearest Repair Cafe at www.repaircafe.org. None near you? You might have an initiative near you that hasn't registered to be an official Repair Cafe. Try searching on the internet with the name of your area and the word 'repair' and you might be surprised what you find!

Be proud of your compost bin! Although it may be tempting to hide your compost bin in the corner of your garden, make sure it is accessible as you should be visiting it regularly with kitchen scraps. Remember, siting your compost bin on bare earth is better but it will still work on hard ground.

A compost heap is cheap!

You don't need to buy an expensive compost bin, a heap will work just as well, and can be as big or a small as you have space for. If you have an open heap, it is always worth considering covering it with a large waterproof covering as this will help maintain moisture levels and prevent it from drying out in warm or windy weather. It will also stop it getting too saturated with water if there is lots of rain.

Making your own compost, instead of buying commercial compost in bags, means that less peat is being used. Peat bogs are rare ecosystems – wild areas which are home to a wealth of plants, birds and insects. They also store three times more carbon than forests. Digging out peat for use in garden compost is environmental vandalism.

Adding your finished compost to soil increases its ability to absorb carbon, not just on the surface, but several feet deep. It also helps the soil retain moisture, feeds the creatures in the soil and provides all the nutrients that growing plants need.
