Reduce Your Garden Waste

Here are a couple of handy tips to help you reduce your garden waste:

Compost – You can make compost out of anything with an organic basis. This includes things found in your garden, such as grass cuttings and pulled up weeds as well as
things found in your kitchen such as peelings, uncooked vegetables, newspapers, tea bags and fruit cores. Compost is a great way to re-use waste and create a healthy nutritious soil for your plants.

Recycle – Use household rubbish for gardening purposes. Egg boxes and yoghurt pots are perfect for seed trays while drink cartons make great winter covers for delicate plants. Toilet rolls are also excellent to provide stability and protection when planting vegetables such as carrots.

Redesign – You can also drastically reduce the amount of lawn clippings you produce by simply redesigning your lawn space. Turn the space into something else, for example, create a water feature or a build a pathway to join features such as flowerbeds and decking.

Make the most of these opportunites to reduce your garden waste and help create a more sustainable future.
