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.

Planting more spuds.....and annoying the Hens!

I have planted more rows of spuds today..another 2 rows of Verity Maincrop.


Compostman was digging over a patch today and the hens were allowed on there to "help"



BUT We have put a 50 m length of electric fence netting around the veg garden so the hens cannot get in to dig everything up...
and they were VERY miffed that they couldn't get in to flatten the potato ridges I have made HOWEVER hard they tried!!
