Composting

Composting is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly way of recycling your kitchen scraps and garden waste to provide you with a nutrient rich compost for your garden.

Composting is good for you and good for the environment, what's not to like? Save money, save resources, improve your soil and reduce your impact on the environment.

Find out more about what can and cannot be composted and how to get started from GetComposting.com. Compost bin prices start from around £22.50.

Water butts

Water is a vital ingredient for growing fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers, but it is a precious resource. Investing in a water butt can help reduce the distance you need to walk to collect water for your crops. By installing a water butt on your plot you can create a convenient supply of water. 

We have teamed up with Get Composting to provide water butts. Find our more on the Get Composting website.
