Summer Fun ? Create A Compost Heap !!

Looking out for fun things to do this summer .. Well if like me there is no vacation on the cards because you're too poor :( but if you do happen to have a garden ( which unfortunately I don't have !!)  You could start a compost heap ! It is one of the easiest gardening projects you can undertake and the most important !

Composting is an environmentally conscious way to  create a natural fertilizer . Start with flat ground and a basic material like wood to fence the area in . Lay some hay at the bottom of the area , then fill it in with material like food scraps , cardboard , dryer lint and other perishables .  Egg shells , fruit and vegetables are acceptable ,  but it's best to avoid meat , bones because this will attract unwanted guests .

If you want to keep flies away from your new compost , use clipped grass to cover any rinds or shells .  And remember since Autumn will fast approach , not so long now , remember you can add leaves to your compost as well !

You could learn how to make  a compost heap by visiting the Eden Project .. well that is if you are in the UK . It is situated in Cornwall , nestled in a huge crater . It houses the largest rain-forest in captivity , stunning plants , exhibitions and summer concerts an exciting year round family events programme. Check them out and you could buy tickets online and even avail of 10 to 20 % discounts .
