Turn Your Food Waste into the Best Fertiliser for Your Garden or Allotment
Soil isn’t just dirt – it’s a living, breathing ecosystem that’s absolutely essential for growing strong, healthy plants. Good soil helps retain water, fight off pests and diseases, and keeps your crops well-nourished.
And the best way to boost your soil? Home composting. It’s simple, sustainable, and turns everyday kitchen waste into nutrient-rich goodness instead of letting it rot in landfill.
Here at Lower Blakemere Farm, composting is part of daily life. In our farmhouse, there’s a worm farm in the kitchen working away on veg peelings, and a Bokashi Kit in the porch fermenting plate waste, cooked food and dairy. Every bit of it goes back to the land—feeding the soil and closing the loop.
🪱 Why Home Compost is Best for Your Soil
Shop-bought compost can be sterile and lacking in life. But your own homemade compost is packed with:
-
Beneficial bacteria and fungi – which help release nutrients to your plants
-
Slow-release nutrition – so your garden thrives over time
-
Organic matter – improving soil structure, water retention, and aeration
-
Worm food – because healthy worms = healthy soil
A compost heap is brilliant, but if you want to tackle all food waste—including cooked food— Bokashi is the answer.
🌍 Why Composting at Home Matters
Every bit of food waste you compost makes a difference:
-
Cut Methane Emissions – Landfilled food rots and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting keeps it out of landfill.
-
Reduce Carbon Footprint – Composting at home eliminates transport emissions from food waste collection.
-
Regenerate Your Soil – Compost builds healthy, carbon-holding soil that supports life and helps fight climate change.
🛠 How to Get Started (It’s Easier Than You Think!)
