'Improve gardens' with new £4.50 Aldi item out Sunday September 20 The 'practical' product could help plants thrive in gardens across the UK People looking to keep their gardens healthy could find Aldi's latest Special Buy offer helpful for preparing a garden superfood that improves the quality of lawns, flowers and produce. It is coming to stores very soon, and will cost just shy of £5 for gardeners to pick up. Aldi is selling the Joie Compost Bin as part of its upcoming SpecialBuy refresh on Sunday, September 20. Costing £4.99 each, these bins will come in three colour options (white, grey or black). The store said: "Make composting simple and tidy with this practical compost bin. Ideal for collecting organic waste, it's a great way to reduce household waste and create natural compost for your garden." How does composting help my garden? According to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), adding compost to gardens is an "environmentally friendly" way to improve soil quality, which directly benefits the plants that grow in it. Its online guide said: "Composting is a great way to make use of your garden waste – everything from lawn clippings to annual weeds, hedge-trimmings to faded flowers. "You can also add plant-based kitchen waste, such as veg peelings, along with paper and cardboard. When spread over the soil surface or lightly forked in, home-made compost adds valuable organic matter that improves the soil’s structure, aeration and biodiversity. "It can boost moisture retention in fast-draining sandy soils and aid drainage in heavy clay soils." The experts add that the most "efficient and space-saving" way to compost is to use a bin - like the new option from Aldi. Even for the least green-thumbed people, adding some compost to a standard grass lawn may "encourage healthy and disease-resistant" grass, according to Harvest Lawn Care. For those growing their own fruit or vegetables, compost provides vital minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients that naturally nourish them. What else is on offer at Aldi? Aldi refreshes its middle aisles often with new products following different themes twice a week - on Thursday and Sunday.
