Glastonbury gardeners offered double bargain

Glastonbury gardeners are being urged to go greener and grab a double bargain to make the best of the waste from their flower beds, veg patches, allotments or lush lawns.

 

There are just a couple of days left to secure a bargain by buying a compost bin before prices rise on 1 April. There is even a “BOGOHP” – buy one, get one half price – offer when ordering a compost bin for home delivery.

 

And once they start composting, a second bargain will come by producing free soil conditioner and fertilizer to help their garden grow.

 

The new compost bin can be filled with a mix of cut grass, spent bedding plants, prunings and leaves as well as fruit and vegetable peelings, egg shells, tea bags and coffee grounds, and even some shredded cardboard to help balance the “green and brown” or nitrogen and carbon.

 

Spring is a great time to get into the home composting habit and create free fertiliser by recycling waste from the kitchen and garden. As well as making good use of waste materials, composting prevents pollution, as sending organic materials to costly landfill causes powerful greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. 

 

Somerset’s green compost bins – made from 100% recycled materials – cost as little as £14.50 + delivery before 1 April. Even cheaper is the buy one, get one half price offer when ordering for home delivery.

 

To grab this bargain, call 0844 571 4444 and quote media code SOM04LA or visit http://www.somerset.getcomposting.com. From 1 April, prices will be from £15.50 + delivery; quote SOM06P on the same phone number or website.

 

Somerset Waste Partnership manages waste and recycling services on behalf of Mendip, South Somerset, Sedgemoor and West Somerset District Councils, Taunton Deane Borough Council and Somerset County Council.
