Composting: Update!!!

Composter is filling up slowly but surely! We’ve got a little kitchen bin (airtight) which we fill up during the week with peelings and bits of kitchen scraps. At the weekend, we take it out to the composter.

Thankfully, the kids are great fruit eaters, so there’s always banana skins, apple cores et al. In fact, we’ve started eating more fruit and veg in the interests of filling it up faster. Who’d have thought having a composter would make you eat healthier?

We’ve also thrown in some garden leaves for good measure. Apparently, these decompose more slowly, but all the same they’re good for the mix. I think one of these days I’ll have to go out and turn the mix.
