Garden compost is an essential part of good vegetable gardening

Garden compost improves the soil and enables good plant growth.

Compost is free if you make it yourself.

What is compost?

Rich crumbly organic matter produced from the natural decay of vegetable and plant remains from the kitchen and garden.

Why is compost so important?

Organic matter provides the heart of the soil by;
  • 'glueing' the soil particles into stable porous structures
  • improving all mineral soils
  • holding water
  • providing and holding nutrients in an available form
  • supporting soil life: bacteria, fungi and worms

Look after your soil and your soil will support healthy vegetable crops and be very productive.
