Autumn is the best time to start a compost heap. Compost is a natural fertiliser of fresh, organic matter that you can use to help your plants grow. Make your compost out of garden waste including old bedding plants from borders, debris from your vegetable patch, fallen leaves, and raked out moss. This will give you plenty of material for your compost pile.
If you have a lot of fallen leaves, you could also make your own leaf mould to use as fertiliser. This is a great way to recycle leaves and a simple way to add organic matter to your soil.
