Those of you without a big garden are probably thinking, all very well, but where do I compost material and what do I do with the resulting compost? The answer is to use a worm compost bin, which is extremely effective at quickly reducing kitchen scraps to compost. Either buy a special wormery kit, or use a 15 litre plastic tub plus worms - obtained from someone's active compost heap, or from a fishing shop.

If you don't fancy worms, then try a kitchen composter that uses Bokashi to help speed things up.

Use the compost in window boxes and tubs, on flower borders, and around trees and shrubs, or give it to someone else who can use it, such as a friend, work colleague, or member of a local gardening club/allotment society (addresses in the library).
