A Gardener's Kitchen

Collecting waste form your kitchen or household in general in order to add to your compost heap is in keeping with our current concerns regarding cutting down on the amount of waste placed in our wheelie bins. But where do you store your waste prior ro adding it to the compost heap? Also many are put off by the prospect of lingering bad smells. The products below provide a range of choices that address this need and most have renewable filters to eliminate the smell! It is better not to add cooked food to compost piles but the Bokashi system can be used to compost such waste.

I couldn't resist adding the vegetable crocks and recycle bags too!
