Composting
Long before recycling was the politically correct thing to do, my Nana was very careful to store her tea bags, her peelings and her left overs. In fact the only time I can remember her being annoyed with me was once when I threw away the potato peelings and received a stern telling off. She took me outside to see her prized roses and gladioli and told me I’d deprived them of food; that the herbs, flowers and vegetables she grew needed all the goodness they could get!
Benefits Of Composting
Benefits of Composting An increasing amount of people are becoming environmentally aware of the effects that chemical fertilizers are having on our environment. Not only can they leave a build up of heavy metals such as cadmium and lead in the soil, they can kill the natural micro organisms that help make your soil fertile and leave you relying on chemical based compounds forever more. Also the run off from soil that has been treated with chemical fertilizers is extremely toxic and it can pollute waterways causing a detrimental effect to the environment.
