Now is the time that everybody loves fresh greens, so the kitchen produces a lot of waste for composting. If there is a lot of this material then it is worth composting with compost worms. This is very simple:

1. Fill the compost bin with about 10 cm of compost mulch. Put approximately 500 compost worms on top, these can be found in any well-stocked garden centre.

2. Add the first layer of kitchen waste.

3. Apply a natural clay mineral powder over every fresh layer of waste as this is an important digestive aid for the worms. This improves the decomposing process and absorbs excess moisture.
