Composting is a great way to recycle your garden and kitchen waste and it helps protect the environment by reducing the amount we throw away. Better still, it’s a great way of improving your soil or mulching your beds and borders. To make a compost heap you’ll need a container or compost bin to keep all the contents together and help to build up the temperature needed for the material to rot down. You’ll also need the right ingredients, so try for a good mix of “greens” (vegetable peelings, fruit waste, teabags, plant pruning matter and grass cuttings) and “browns” (cardboard, egg boxes, scrunched up paper, leaves and crushed egg shells) to get the perfect mix for your compost.
Armitage’s stock a range of accessories to help you get started with your compost heap, and our staff also provide excellent advise to ensure that you make the most out of your compost heap.
We also stock ready made compost, so if you don’t have the space or the time to create your own compost heap your garden can still reap the benefits.
