Three liquids you can recycle into your compost. Just a splash though! Everybody knows that gardeners wee in their compost right? That’s because it’s high in nitrogen and other minerals. Nitrogen speeds up the composting process but don’t add it if your compost heap already contains lots of green (nitrogen) based materials.

Use your fallen leaves to make free compost. It’s so easy. The leaves will decompose quicker if you chop them up first. I use my lawn mower to drive over them and break the leaves up. Compost made from just fallen leaves is called leaf mould.

I only take leaves from off my driveway. Do leave some of the leaves for the wildlife.
