ENERGY SAVING IDEAS FOR GARDENING
GARDEN OR OTHER WASTE
- Make your own compost from grass cuttings, weeds & thin twigs, including vegetable waste from the kitchen. Mix up well.
- Make leaf mould from fallen leaves to add to compost later (they take longer to rot).
- Use a wormery to compost non-meat food waste & provide rich compost for the garden.
- (Or a bokashi box* will take meat waste too!)
- Avoid putting too much in your brown (garden waste) bin. (Transporting it causes carbon emissions!)
- Crushed egg shells discourage slugs & snails from nibbling seedlings.
- Make plant labels from waste plastic, e.g. yoghurt pots.
- Use unwanted metal or plastic pots for plants.
