Let's roll up our sleeves together, because leaves and pruning waste can get a second life. The tips below will give your garden waste a new purpose. 

Garden waste tips

  1. Create your own compost heap in the garden: Reduce waste and improve the soil at the same time. Note: not everything that can go in the organic waste bin can go on the compost heap! More information about composting can be found on the website of Milieu Centraal.

  2. Compost your balcony with a worm hotel: No garden? No problem! With a worm hotel, you can compost on your balcony too. Treat your plants to the best soil improver.  

  3. Chickens help with composting: Chickens aren't just fun, they also help with composting. Build a compost pile in the chicken coop and watch how happy they are with garden waste!

  4. Place leaves under shrubs or trees: Cover them with soil to speed decomposition. Next year, you'll enjoy a natural fertilizer for a thriving garden.

  5. Help the hedgehogs in our country: Help them by leaving a pile of leaves and branches in your garden. A small effort with a big impact!
