Shropshire Master Composters are urging residents to become home composters this summer, transforming their household waste into a nutrient-rich food to keep their gardens blooming.
Home composting is the perfect solution for all the long grass and pesky weeds that have shot up during the wet weather. As well as garden waste up to half of all your general rubbish could be composted. Items such as kitchen scraps, teabags, crushed eggshells, shredded paper, tissues, cereal boxes, brown cardboard and vacuum cleaner dust can all go in the compost bin. Other more unusual items that can be home composted include coffee grounds and filter papers, nut shells, raspberry canes, denim, string and wool.
Once it is ready for use the compost can then be used on flower beds, veg patches, hanging baskets, or for feeding lawns to create a rich green grass and enriching your borders. Most gardens simply cannot get enough compost, so dont buy it in when you can make your own for free!
