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.

Chicklet update
Here are some pictures of the chicklets aged 15 days old...growing fast, see the feathers forming?
PS. We have 15 chicks now all hatched in the incubator. Thanks to reading your blog I was able to help a couple when they became a bit dehydrated. All doing well!

ReplyDeleteI could never be a hard boiled farmer-type. I would just be squee-ing and cooing too much...THEY ARE TOO CUTE!
