Sustainable Garden Tips #8 - Only use renewable resources in the garden. Check the source of gardening materials, and make sure you reuse, recycle and renew. Think about where your pavers, sleepers and mulch come from and how they’re manufactured.

@birdsandbike @BordnaMona @TheMontyDon Sorry to hear about the issue with foreign objects. We try really hard to remove any contamination from the green compost element but sometime it manages to get through. Trust me though in growing trials, the important bit, it performs rreally well.

Sustainable tips for gardening #7 - Minimise your use of powered tools. Mowers, blowers and brush-cutters can make life easier, but think about their environmental impact. Buy an energy-efficient mower, mow less often and keep the grass height to about 4 to 5 centimetres
