More DescriptionYou may be completely new to the idea of composting, you may have been tinkering with the idea of starting to compost or you may be an experienced composter.Whatever you are, we hope that these chapters will give you some helpful tips and advice.You may consider that we are a little biased in our view, but really there is nothing complicated or difficult about composting and it makes sense from every viewpoint.If you compost waste materials from your garden and/or kitchen then you will be contributing towards the wellbeing of our planet by not sending this waste to a landfill site. You will be saving money as the end product can be used in your garden instead of buying expensive composts from the garden centre. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that the material you are using in your garden to improve then life of your plants, flowers and vegetables is completely wholesome as you know exactly what the source of the compost has been. What's not to like? You may be thinking, well that's all well and good, but I live in an apartment and don't have a garden so what use is composting to me? Well even window boxes which cheer up a window so much throughout the course of a year can benefit from home-made compost and again, if you are recycling kitchen vegetable and fruit waste in this way, you are helping both our planet and your own pocket. Composting does not need a huge amount of space; even if you only have a small composting bin sited in your kitchen then a slightly larger one under the stairs or outdoors, you can compost. There is a misapprehension that making compost is a smelly, dirty business; well we hope when you read the following chapters you will find that is far from the case. Happy composting!
