Composting Awareness Week

Worms doing their job in my worm compost bin
There’s still 2 days left of Compost Awareness Week, so here’s a round-up of some composty goodness:
- A hot topic among the Oxfordshire Master Composters at the training sessions was how to keep rats out of your compost, something that many people worry about, but which need not be a problem.
- If you can’t live without your caffeine fix, then you might want to consider composting your coffee – some coffee shops will even give you their waste coffee grounds to take home, for free.
- Read my thoughts on Bokashi composting or my compost weeds clinic.
- Or check out the Alternative Kitchen Garden podcast for information on general composting, worm composting and cold composting.
