Making your own compost and leaf mould is surprisingly easy and will save on trips to the tip.
You should aim to make your soil sieve slightly bigger than your wheelbarrow so you can quickly work your way through a pile of compost, directly from the heap. Add a personal touch by painting in a colour of your choice.
