FEBRUARY - Composting

The end of February is a great time to start emptying out your compost bins. In addition to saving you money, making and using your own compost as a spring-time mulch will improve the structure and health of your soil, increasing both the organic content and its water retention. Just take care when emptying as there may be toads, slowworms, mice and even hedgehogs living in the cosy environment of your compost bin!
