A detail of organic vegetable and fruit matter decomposing inside a home garden composting bin. We look down on to the natural waste as a close-up of the vegetables and fruit scraps that have been thrown away by a city householder in south London. Local authorities encourage the use of compost bins in back gardens (yards) and the proliferation of these efficient containers mean that their residue can be returned to the soil without the expense of transport to landfill. The rotting matter of banana skins, onions and potato peelings will eventually become a nutritious feed for new plants - and so the cycle goes on.
