RECYCLE Devon has teamed up with Get Composting once again to deliver a range of compost bins to Devon’s gardeners at reasonable prices.

Making compost at home is a natural and affordable way of adding moisture, structure and nutrients back into the soil which supports the growth of healthy plants and increases biodiversity in gardens of all sizes.

Devon residents can purchase Blackwall Compost Converters from £25 by ordering online at www.getcomposting.com

The Blackwall 220 Litre Black Compost Converter is the UK’s best-selling home compost bin.

Made in the UK from recycled plastic, it’s UV stabilised for maximum durability and comes with a 5 year guarantee.

Priced at just £25.00 (plus delivery) due to a Devon County Council subsidy, it provides an affordable and secure environment for compost, helping you transform your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden.

Councillor Jacqi Hodgson, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Biodiversity, said: ‘Home composting is an inexpensive and natural way of providing nutrients for your flower beds, vegetable patches and hanging baskets.

‘It provides endless free compost to help our gardens grow and is one of the simplest yet most sustainable practices a household can adopt.

‘What could be better than taking the waste we create at home and using it as a valuable resource in our gardens?’

Once your compost bin is in place, simply fill it with a mix of fruit and vegetable trimmings, grass cuttings, garden waste and small amounts of paper and cardboard.

Nine to twelve months later, the rich dark compost is ready for use in your garden.
