ASK Organic and Scottish Borders Council Reduce Reuse Recycle Team helped hundreds of householders with their home composting and recycling queries during the 2009 show season. We helped everyone make better use of their home compost bins and solved any recycling problems they had been experiencing. Householders met us at the Border Union Show, Kelso; the Berwickshire Agricultural Show, Duns; the Peeblesshire Agricultural Show, Peebles and the Holm Show, Newcastleton. We will all be there again for the 2010 show season.

Come and see us at the Border Union Show, Kelso on Friday the 30th and Saturday the 31st July 2010. We will be in the Countryside Area and look forward to answering your queries
 
Meanwhile there is lots of advice on this website, follow the links at the side or Contact us for a personal answer.

ASK Organic is available once a week to give home composting help and advice in their Composting Demonstration in Woodside Walled Garden; from the beginning of March till the end of October.

We started the show season at Borders Organic Gardeners' Potato Day  in March when we helped lots of people make better compost and start Zero Waste Gardening
