Would you like to help make compost for the community garden?
Dry weeds and cut grass can be dropped into the compost bins and the worms, slugs, snails will break this down into FREE compost which is full of nutrients and helps all our plants to thrive. Its magic, see how its done here!
Local compost made in 2023 to 2024
You might be wondering what all the fuss is about? Light fluffy, non-smelly and nitrogen-rich beautiful soil is made for FREE from all those old vegetable plants, garden waste, scraps, twigs, weeds, cardboard and stalks. This what it looked like in the community garden last year. Want to know more? See ‘THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO COMPOSTING‘ here, they also answer questions you may have about composting. EASY!

Drying out weeds before composting keeps the nutrients within the garden. Couch grass can be pulled out of the beds and thrown onto the path ways. Bindweed, Clevers, Creeping buttercup, Bittercress and Common chickweed are best left to dry. See RHS ‘How to identify common weeds‘ here.
