Compost Awareness Week 2013



What is Compost Awareness Week?


The thirteenth annual International Compost Awareness Week (CAW) will be celebrated from Sunday 5th to Saturday 11th May 2013!  CAW aims to encourage more people to realise the benefits of home composting and the great results that can be achieved by using peat-free composts containing recycled material.

Throughout the week volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters will be out around Shropshire encouraging people to give new composting activities a go.

New to composting? Why not give composting a go. Anyone with even the tiniest bit of outside space can compost at home.

Already a compost champion? Think about additional things you could compost, such as eggs shells, shredded paper, cereal boxes, tea bags or even the contents from your vacuum cleaner.  Its not just garden waste which composts well.

Don’t know what to do with your compost? Try using your homemade compost to enrich your borders or to give your potted plants and containers an extra boost.

Ever tried peat-free compost? It’s made from recycled materials - and that’s good news for the environment because it contains natural goodness and it helps to cut down the amount of organic waste that is sent to landfill.  It also gets blooming good results for your garden!
