CompostingI have two composts on the go.And saves me a great deal of space from my bin.YOu would be surprised what you can compost.does anyone else compost? |

we have a compost bin AND a green cone for waste food.
Green Cone: http://www.greencone.com/promotions.asp You can get one for about £20. Put in ALL your waste food (including bones etc) and it will rot down to water and nothing else.... We've had ours a few weeks, its going well so far. How do you get rid of grass cuttings? We only have a lawn, so the compost bin is full of grass cuttings and is turning into slurry... how do I stop this??? |

We put ripped newspaper into our compost bin and mix it with grass clippings to give a more balanced compost. Some shredded cardboard works well if mixed also. |
