In order to achieve our “Zero Waste” goal, we at ecogreenlove, have started home composting. Is amazing the amount of scraps that we throw away and can become something useful as fertiliser for our soil for our balcony garden.

By sticking to fruit and veggie scraps, coffee grounds/filters, yard debris and other items listed below, the compost bin won’t smell like a mini landfill and pests won’t be a problem.
This infographic will help you get started composting at home, showing you what should go into your compost pile and which items should not.
