Keep Composting This Winter

Keep Composting This Winter

When the nights get longer than the days and the winter chill sets in the composting process will naturally slow down or even stop if the weather is extremely cold.

Sitting dormant like this, the soil life, including your trusty compost worms will retreat from the edges and find the warmest pockets to huddle together and overwinter.

It's easy to forget and switch off from home composting, but if you keep composting during the winter months, you will be rewarded in the spring!
