Shredders help you to get the finest mix possible and also takes away the hard work. Read More... Composting Composting has wide environmental benefits by helping to cut down your household waste. It takes away the need to use artificial pesticides and stops reliance on the usage of natural materials such as peat and the products used to manufacture fertilisers. Composting also encourages greater diversity of organisms in your garden. Read More... Recycling Green issues, recycling and the environment have become key issues in today’s’ society. In the last few years we have seen much more dedicated media attention and at long last governments are starting to wake up to these very serious topics and their global consequences. However, for the average gardener this is old hat. The garden has always been the grass roots of recycling via mulching, composting and recycling garden waste. There are many ways we can recycle in our households and here we are going to have a look at some of the easiest, effective methods. Water Collection One of the first images that spring to mind if you think of Britain is rain, so it is quite remarkable that we still use an average of one sixth of the UK’s drinking water for outdoor garden use. Considering the amount of rainfall in the UK one of the easiest most effective means of recycling is the collection of rain via the guttering for use in the garden. By using a rain collector we can capture rain from the roof with very little time and zero effort. Simply choose a level ground near the gutter and choose an adequate water butt. If you have limited space but still need quantity then the Slim Rain Butt is an ideal solution, providing a 100 litres capacity with a clever design that takes up the minimum of space, moreover this barrel is made up of a minimum of 75% recycled materials. Alternatively the Full Water Barrel has a slightly greater capacity and is designed to make a feature in any garden. If you are looking for something a little different then the Beehive Water Butt is designed to look like a traditional beehive making it an attractive addition to your garden. Garden and Household Waste Most councils now have garden tipping sites and garden waste bins but why waste these prime materials when they can easily be used to fertilise your garden and provide a free, nutrient rich compost. Most people conjure up the image of a horrible, unsightly pile at the end of the garden when you mention compost though this couldn’t be further from the truth. Composters have subtle designs and more importantly make it easier to obtain the perfect compost. Composters are made of recycled plastics and have air slats to allow for correct humidity and air circulation. When the compost is ready, simply open the base and you have the perfect fertiliser for your garden. When preparing the waste for composting then shredders cut down on the back breaking job of breaking the waste into suitable sizes to allow for the organic breakdown. AL-KO offer a wide range of shredders such as the AL-KO Silent Power SP3500, as the name suggests this shredder is extremely quiet and has minimal power consumption making it the ideal solution for small to medium gardens in built up areas. Bosch also has a range of silent shredders such as the Bosch AXT 2000 HP which holds the prestigious Blue Angle badge. Blue Angel was the first organisation to set up a standard for environmentally friendly products in Europe. For larger gardeners AL-KO also offer more powerful shredders like the AL-KO TCS2500 for tougher more robust tasks. Eliet have a wide range of shredders ranging from the small garden up to professional shredding needs.
