There are a large range of compost bins available on the market today. Once you have chosen one that suits your requirements, you need to follow some basic rules. Use an organic compost activator to speed up composting. Garotta is available in both liquid & granular form. Use a dusting of lime every 12 inches of compost to keep the compost ‘sweet’ & speed rotting. Try to include other items with your grass cutting to ensure good aeration. Choose a sunny site for quicker composting. Don’t use weeds with pernicious shoots or roots, scraps of meat, brassicas with Clubroot, top growth of main crop potatoes, coffee grounds, diseased material, woody prunings, weed seeds. Compost leaves separately. They need air, light & at least a year of patience.
