Composting Tips 

If your heap smells unpleasant, it needs some air. Fork it over, use an aerator or mix in some hollow stems or cardboard.

Did you know that you can put bank statements and other confidential documents in your compost? There is no need to shred them at all; All you need to do is scrunch them up and bury them in the compost.
