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 and to Permaculture principles, which we share with Chickens, Cats 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 more than a decade as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council.
I'm a self employed Environmental Educator so I run workshops and events where I talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. I also run crafts workshops and Forest School/outdoor play sessions in our wood.
We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.

Lots of work in the Garden this week...
BUT it is now time to clear the old stuff out and put it on the compost bins, before all the new growth REALLY gets going.
So here are some pictures of the boarders BEFORE I cleared them I will post some pictures later showing what they looked like AFTER.I still have to dig them over and mulch them, but at least I can fill up the compost bins with all the lovely stuff I have chopped down.
Oh...and have a bonfire of all the weedy ,twiggy bits!
Oh and a Blessed Imbolc to you all!
