How to build a simple compost system with Charlie

Charlie’s showing you how to build a simple palette compost system. - by Charlie Albone
  • 15 May 2020

Composting is a big win on so many levels. It’s an environmentally friendly method of dealing with kitchen and gardening waste, a way to save money on garden fertiliser and soil additives and, best of all, it’s gardening gold! Composting helps your plants to flower and fruit more, become more drought tolerant and more resistant to pest and disease attack. With all the autumn leaves currently falling, it’s the perfect time to give composting a go.
