I WOULD like to say a big thank you to the Oxford Mail for the brief compost article (June 23).

As a keen gardener I know the benefits of using compost.

It adds in drainage and soil moisture and, in today’s society, we should all be a bit greener, and help save the planet from global warming.

I have already taken the day off work for July 3, and look forward to learning more about the world of compost from the compost master.
