The composting of waste was, until the intervention of chemical fertilizers. one of the few means of feeding the earth gardeners and farmers had open to them.

We no longer live in a world where we can be complaisant about the waste we produce or the way we dispose of it.

Recycling your own waste saves on landfill, the time and fuel to get it there, the energy used to process it, the cost to local councils to collect it and the end result is something wonderful you can use to grow food.

All your food waste, even cooked meat, fish etc, can be dealt with cleanly, simply and without smell in a space to suit you.

Don't just limit yourself to a bin at the bottom of the garden, you could have so much more, a bokashi bin in your kitchen to deal with cooked food waste, a worm box or a dry toilet.

Eventually with no intervention at all, organic matter will decompose, man has learned to speed up this process by composting.

Waste recycling also has a commercial value providing organic growing mediums and alternative energy such as biogas.
