Turn your food waste into valuable compost!

During September, whilst the other events of London's Urban Food Fortnight (9th - 24th) celebrate the growing, cooking and eating of local food, we'll be showing you how to tackle food waste! Find out how you can compost your kitchen waste - ie raw and cooked fruit and veg, but also meat, fish and dairy, the things you wouldn't normally put onto a conventional compost heap - and use it to feed your plants ready for the next crop of edibles. We’ll be focusing on wormeries - both indoor and outdoor versions - but will also cover conventional garden composting including the “hot” composting bins which are now commercially available.
