February

Thermal composters, such as the sturdy, weatherproof Thermal Compost Bin, make particularly good compost as the thermal design accelerates the composting process right into the winter.

Kitchen waste can also be composted in winter. Simply keep back some leaves or shredded tree clippings to scatter between the layers of kitchen waste. If the compost becomes too wet, add a natural clay mineral powder.

Pruning trees creates large amounts of woody material. When reduced to small pieces, this often composts much more quickly than expected. After shredding, mix with kitchen waste or sufficiently moist and nutrient-rich garden waste (such as grass clippings, fallen fruit, nettles), if available. Organic Compost Accelerator turbo starts the composting process. Simply sprinkle over the top of the compost. After about two weeks, mix the compost thoroughly if necessary and check the moisture.
