Life in the compost

kidsIt is really the compost creatures that do the hard work of turning peelings, leaves and food scraps into compost. Our job as composting humans is to create the best habitat possible for them so they can get on with their work.

You can meet some of them here in the gallery and in the fantastic Compost Life video.
