Recycling your garden and kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost is both easy and environmentally friendly, with enormous benefits for both your soil and plants. Join RHS Garden Hyde Hall Horticulturalist, Andy Tebbutt, for an informative workshop showing you what ingredients you need for success, as well as looking at suitable practices for composting and how to keep it productive. There will be a short presentation followed by a walk to our compost areas in the garden to see Hyde Hall's composting site. Get the basics right and you can sit back and let nature do the rest!
