Home composting helps to keep garden and household waste out of landfill sites, and also produces nutritious compost, which can be used on flower beds and vegetable plots, for patio planters, hanging baskets and window boxes.  Over one third of the contents of an average UK household bin can be home composted, not to mention all the garden waste that can be added to a compost bin.
