Today is Learn About Composting Day! 🌱

Composting transforms your garden waste and food scraps into nutrient-rich soil that you can use to grow healthy plants, flowers and vegetables. It’s one of the easiest ways to reduce household waste and creates a natural closed-loop system at home.

Grass cuttings, leaves, twigs and vegetable peelings can all be added to a compost bin or heap. With hot composters or food waste digesters, you can even compost meat, fish, dairy, bones and cooked food waste.

Some residents enjoy building a compost heap from scratch, while others prefer the convenience of a compost bin. If you’re the latter, you’re in luck! All Surrey residents are eligible for discounted composting products. Start composting today - https://orlo.uk/5Yelo 🌱
