There are many benefits to your garden growing by using home-made compost, such as:
- Increased nutrients.
- Decreases their susceptibility to pests and disease.
- Water retention is more evenly balanced within the soil.
- The structure of the soil is improved.
So the first thing to do, is get yourself a compost tumbler or a compost bin. A tumbler is the fastest at producing compost and the usual turnaround with Kedels ‘the dark destoyer’ compost tumbler is about 4-5 weeks. Now what to put in it.
Good things to add to the compost bin.
- Garden plant remains
- Old flowers
- Fruit and vegetable leftovers
- Nutshells
- Coffee and tea grounds
- Crushed egg shells
- Small branches and twigs
- Untreated saw dust
- Grass clippings
- Weeds
Avoid adding the following:
- Pet or human waste
- Bones
- Fatty foods
- Meats
- Dairy products
- Thick branches
- Diseased plants
- Fish
Make sure you provide the mix with the best possible conditions, so that you get your produce in optimal time.
- Rotate the drum daily to aerate the mulch inside the drum.
- Add water, moisten but don’t overdo it. Consistency is the key here. The moisture inside the mix should be around 50%, similar to that of damp clothes.
- Add many small manageable sizes of materials (small twigs and not large branches!!)
Composting can be great fun. With a good rotating compost bin, you’ll be making compost in no time.

How many people do you think are putting unwanted organic food waste in the bin, my guess is its a hell of alot. Thats a waste in itself! Get a compost tumbler and give your plants something to eat. Think of how much money you’ll save over the course of a year aswell as trips to the garden centre for that new bag of compost.
Spring is here in case you haven’t noticed. Get your compost bin quick!
