Seasonal Composting Tips

Spring/Early Summer

Spring is when the garden starts to wake up and is a busy time for gardeners to prepare the garden for both blooming flowers and scrumptious fruit and vegetables.

All of the autumn and winter garden waste and kitchen waste will have started to rot down to produce important nutrients for the new plants, and to help produce stronger new shoots on your existing plants. Remember to keep adding to the compost bin to keep a constant flow of compost for the forth coming months.

Late Summer/Early Autumn Composting

Summer is such an important time for gardens. You have to make sure the grass doesn't get too dry, your plants and flowers aren't wilting and your garden is well looked after.

But the summer is also a time to prepare the garden for the approaching weather change in autumn and winter - so it's best to get as many nutrients into your plants and flowers as soon as possible to keep them strong through the approaching winter.
