DIY Happy has a post on creating your own compost:

Here’s an environmentally-friendly project. A compost heap can be beneficial in a number of ways, not just to gardeners and freaky organic homesteaders who live off the “fatta the land”. It can be used to as a heater, food for a worm farm, and it’s always good to reduce the amount of junk we pile into landfills and other large piles of waste

Composts are a fantastic way to recycle your leftover food scraps and any organic materials. You could also try creating a worm farm:

If you want a natural and organic fertiliser or soil conditioner for you garden then you can’t beat worm castings. It’s the easiest way to have a successful organic garden. Worm castings are rich in soil nutrients. They significantly improve the soil structure as well as increasing its water holding capacity. Regular use of worm castings in your garden will result in stronger, healthier, more drought resistant plants.

For best results, worm castings, or worm compost, should be placed around plants and then covered by mulch. Worm castings can also be mixed with water to produce a liquid fertiliser which works well when sprayed on flowers or vegetables during their growing season.

Compost and worm castings are a fantastic way to fertilise an organic garden so you can grow your own organic food. That's the only way to get really fresh fruit and vegetables, if you ask me. I love gardening so am happy to spend time growing my own stuff but even if you aren't that interested you can at least grow a few organic herbs on your windowsill. Give it a go because herbs at so much flavour to a meal - they really make a difference.
