Composting is a simple and easy way to reduce your household waste.
By starting a compost system in your backyard, you can create a rich and valuable resource for your garden and divert kitchen scraps away from landfill.
Basically, composting is a natural process where billions of microorganisms break down your food scraps and other natural materials into a stable form.
Composting can:
- Turn your food scraps and garden waste into a rich and valuable resource for your garden
- Save you money on fertilisers and manures
- Keep your organics out of landfill
Get familiar with the basics and the equipment you need to get started with our Beginner’s Guide to Composting.
