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.
