Working in many gardens when out and about on pond maintenance missions, Pro-fish-ional have noticed that many people, even those with larger gardens do not have
their own compost bin.Bagging up your green waste for kerbside collection, or taking it to your local tip to put in the green receptacle is good, because at least this way it isn’t going into landfill. However, if you composted the green waste yourself, you could reduce the need for any petrol to be wasted transporting that green waste away from your home. On top of that you could save yourself the hassle of going to the local garden centre to buy big heavy bags of compost because you’d be making your very own for free at home!

How to buy or make a composter
If you've decided to have a go at composting your garden and kitchen waste there are several ways to set yourself up. In certain areas and under certain circumstances your local council may give you a composter to reduce the amount of rubbish they collect from you. If this is not the case in your area you can buy or build one instead.
Most garden or DIY retailers sell compost bins.
If you’re good at making things you can build a compost bin using 4 old pallets screwed together in a square. Alternatively many local authorities run compost bin schemes where you can buy discounted bins. For more information about home composting or to find out if such a scheme is operating in your area visit www.recyclenow.com/compost. .
