Start reducing your waste now
We need to reduce the amount of food and garden waste going into landfills where the nutrients are wasted. About 50% of waste generated by households is food waste. The best way to reduce the amount of food and garden waste going into landfill is by composting which returns nutrients to the soil.
Composting and worm farming are nature's own recycling systems. In a compost bin food scraps and garden waste are broken down into their original nutrient form (compost). In a worm farm food scraps are broken down into worm poo (castings) and worm wee.
Follow our tutorials on Composting and Worm Farming to begin your journey to reducing waste. Once you have completed each tutorial, take the quiz to test your knowledge.
Composting
Composting is nature’s own recycling system. It breaks food scraps and vegetation down into their original nutrient form and then returns that valuable nourishment to the soil.
Worm Farming
Worm farming is another great way to compost your food scraps. Worms will eat most of your kitchen waste and turn it into a high-quality fertiliser.
