We provide a sealable food waste bucket for you.

No, we collect the bucket and leave you a clean one every time.

Yes, we can compost cooked foods along with veg peelings and egg shells.

Currently we cover from Lewes to Portslade, with Brighton and Hove in between. We are planning to open a site in Lancing to be able to cover as far west as Worthing soon.

We collect from domestic members every 3 weeks. Simply leave the bucket outside on collection days and you'll find a clean one awaiting you by the end of the day.

We used to but found that they are difficult to break down and require a lot of time. There is also concern as to what chemicals could be in these products so we do not take them any longer. Paper bags are fine.

Yes indeed, it is ideal to add to a maturing compost as it will introduce the microbes. You can simply empty the contents onto your pile and mix it in well when you aerate the pile.

Use the bag provided, an old pair of tights or a purpose made compost tea bag. Add water to bucket and massage the compost in the water. The water will soon brown as the humic acids and biology become suspended in the water. This can then be watered onto the ground as well as onto the surface of plants as a foliar spray.

Keep a good mulch of compost on the surface of the soil and keep living root structures in the soil as much as possible. We recommend perennial plants or the use of cover crops over winter.

Our compost is best applied at around 1,000 litres per acre. The 2.5 litre bags will treat about 6 square metres each.

We recommend spring time, ahead of planting and also the autumn after many of your annual crops have finished as the best times. You can however apply as often as you like. The more applications, the quicker the soil food web will take hold and be most effective.
