Composting

2The perfect home

Install your compost bin on bare earth with good drainage and find a spot that is conveniently located, so that you can access it easily.

Tips

Make your compost bin rat-proof by lining it with chicken wire. Place the open base of your bin on top of a piece of chicken wire, bend it up around the outside of the bin and tie in place with rope.

Got a friend with a compost bin or worm farm? Grab a handful of their compost or worm tea to give your compost a kick-start.

Did you know?

Worms generally find their way into compost bins and improve the soil by aerating it. They also break down nutrients in the soil, letting plants in your garden absorb them more easily.
