Composting turns kitchen scraps into black gold for your plants. Here is how to start, even in a flat.

What to compost

Fruit and veggie peels, coffee grounds, eggshells and dry leaves are all perfect. Avoid meat, dairy and oils.

Balcony-friendly options

No garden? A small countertop composter or a balcony bin with a tight lid works beautifully and stays odour-free when balanced correctly.

Why it matters

Food waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting keeps it out and feeds your soil instead.
