Composting

Composting is the natural process of turning kitchen scraps and garden waste into dark, crumbly, nutrient-rich compost that feeds your soil for free. The right composting equipment makes it faster, cleaner and easier — compost bins, tumblers, wormeries (worm bins) and activators that speed up decomposition.A good system handles peelings, prunings and leaves whether you compost in a cool UK garden or a warm Indian climate where breakdown is quicker. This collection brings together our independent buying guides for every composting essential, comparing capacity, aeration, speed and value, with picks for small balconies and large gardens. Add a balance of greens and browns, keep it moist and aerated, and within months you will have compost that improves soil structure, feeds plants and cuts your household waste.
