So after 2 years of collecting local kitchen waste for compost I thought it would be encouraging to show the results of our labours !
The top photo is a raised bed at the youth centre garden after an application of louth community compost , 5 weeks later the bottom photo shows how much the brassica seedlings appreciated it :)

Up to June 2016 we've composted almost 6 tonnes of kitchen and garden waste and produced somewhere over 3 tonnes of composter, more than we need for the community gardens so the surplus will be distributed (hopefully sold:)) locally..watch this space for a special offer that will help households reduce their carbon footprint and grow delicious fresh salad leaves....
