Day 14 Challenge
Today’s challenge is about starting a home composting journey, or improving it if you’ve already begun.
Making your own compost at home is a great way of cutting down on your carbon in several ways.
Commercially produced compost has to be transported to garden centres and other retailers; is packaged in plastic sacks that are not easily recyclable and most significantly, it often contains peat.
The extraction of peat not only destroys these unique habitats but also releases carbon into the atmosphere that was previously locked underground.
Your own home-made compost only travels around your garden, has no extra packaging, and contains no peat. What’s more, it transforms your kitchen and garden waste into an amazing (and free!) soil improver.
