Lovely weather, and nature is bursting into bloom. Which means of course weeds, pruning, and so on.

Although clippings and suchlike can be taken to recycling centres or weekly village seasonal garden waste lorries, there is another option … home composting.

Aberdeenshire Council Waste Service has recommenced the sale of discounted home compost bins. Please see https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/waste/household-rubbish/buying-a-home-composter/ on how to order.

It is one compost bin per household just now due to limited stocks.
