A compost heap
I have been asked how you choose which type of composting system is right for you, so in this episode I look at the things you need to consider when you make your choice and talk about the pros and cons of each of the main types of composting system.
Many of these systems have been the focus of their own episode, so check these links if you want more information on how to compost, worm composting, making leaf mould/ mold, high fibre composting or Bokashi.
Don’t forget that I have three copies of Wisewoman’s Cookery to give away! To be in with a chance of winning, listen to the show and then let us know which plant you would most want to have with you if you were marooned on a deserted island with your lover. Email me your answer, together with your name and address, before the end of June. Shannon, Mary & I will pick our favourite answers to be the winner, and we may read some of the responses out on the show. We will never pass your details onto anyone else! Shannon & Mary are happy to send the books anywhere in the world, so get your thinking caps on :)
