If you make just one resolution this year, make it a gardening one: to compost. All you need is a corner of the garden that gets a bit of sun and a daily dose of organic waste. Say yes to: veg peelings, tea bags, coffee grinds, eggshells, egg cartons, a bit of shredded newspaper and softish prunings. Say no to: meat or cooked food, perennial weeds, really woody prunings (unless they’ve been through a shredder – see Jobs to Do Now) and an overload of grass clippings… and then if it looks dry, turn occasionally. A few months down the line, you’ll have crumbly, sweet smelling compost that’s rocket fuel for plants. For a speedy alternative (and a guaranteed way to get the kids involved), try this Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler from Harrod Horticultural… With a quick spin every other day, you’ll have compost in just four weeks! ‘Green Zone’, CSMA (Civil Service Motoring Association), January 2009
