Garden composting. If you have a backyard, you can quite easily set up an outdoor garden compost heap. You actually don’t need any special equipment, you can just set up a heap in the back of your garden, though if you want something a bit more contained(and more aesthetically pleasing) you can buy a compost bin. 2, record 1, English, - backyard%20composting
