How to compost ?


There are several specialized websites that will help you find the best way to compost for you.

If you have a garden

You can install a compost bin directly in your garden. The latter will receive your bio-waste. Once the composting process is complete, you can use it to put on your plates and vegetable garden to replace chemical fertilizers. Economical and ecological !

If you are in town

Many cities provide collective compost bins. Feel free to call your husband to find out where yours is!

You can also make compost at home with home vermicomposters! The latter contain earthworms that accelerate the composting process. By harvesting the "compost tea" (juice at the bottom of the bin), you can water your plants with it, they will thank you for it!
