KITCHEN AND GARDEN WASTE COMPOSTING

Home composting with kitchen waste like unwanted vegetable leaves, peeled off skin from fruits; left over food and garden waste like dry leaves, cut grass can be made into fertile soil for organic planting of flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. By doing composting, we can reduce the amount of disposable rubbish to more than 50%. Another benefit is we will not worry about the rubbish bin being disturbed by dogs and cats or rats. The rubbish collectors are happier to find that our rubbish is dry and not smelly. Learn the steps of making  compost in our back yard.
