The Compost Bin

Hello and welcome to The Compost Bin. I'm Compostwoman and I live with my family in rural Herefordshire. We have nearly four acres of garden and woodland, all managed organically, which we share with Chickens, Cats, Guinea Pigs and assorted wildlife. We also grow a lot of our own food, run courses in all sorts of things and make a lot of compost!

I am a Master Composter and have spent the last 11 years as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council.
I offer talks and run workshops and events where we talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. We also make crafts and have fun. We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.
To learn more about us click on the About Compostwoman tab and remember to click on the photos to make them full size!

Yet more harvest! Getting fed up of stone fruit now ... But the plums are nearly finished. Apple picking only just begining though, we had 85 lbs from the tiny Tom Putt tree, and there are 5 more big trees to pick 😱 #blogpost

Watching #marvel #AvengersAssemble with Compostman and Compostgirl. Wet and soggy day today, typical #bankholiday weekend. Indoor stuff and then a futile hunt for gluten free croissants in Hereford. Looking at recipe books to work out how to make my own. #blogpost
