To Improve Your Garden:

• by digging into the soil to improve soil texture and nutritional quality
• through using as a mulch around plants to help retain moisture and discourage weeds

To Save Money:

• through buying less peat and fertilisers
• by helping the County Council cut disposal costs for waste and so have more to spend on valued services such as schools

To Help the Environment and Biodiversity:

• by cutting global pollution through reducing the amount of methane gas produced from landfill sites
• by protecting peat bogs which are destroyed to make potting compost
• by encouraging worms and keeping the birds happy!
