Did you know that 50% of all domestic garbage is food and / or garden waste! This valuable resource could be turned into rich compost, which will reduce the amount of waste going to Landfill. Compost will also enrich your soil, provide nutrition for plants, flowers and vegetables and prevent moisture loss when used as surface mulch.
