Happy healthy plants need a whole heap of compost. Like all the best things in life, compost can be FREE if you make your own. Our friends at Recyclenow and Garden Organic have all the info you need to turn your fruit and veg waste into low-cost, first-class compost.
If you’d prefer to buy your compost, choose peat-free so that it’s as green as the plants in your garden. It’s available in all garden centres, has lower CO2 emissions and is more environmentally friendly than those pesky peat-based types. Better still, all B&Q’s peat-free is the same price as their original compost so you pay no extra to switch.
