How to use The Compost Bin.

Welcome to The Compost Bin, which contains my musings on my life and things which interest me.

I live in Herefordshire with my husband and daughter; we have 4 acres of land which contains a woodland, polytunnel, small orchard, garden and veg plot. We grow our own organic produce and make lots of cider, wine, jam and chutney. We also make a lot of compost. We share our lives with 11 Chickens, 3 Cats, 3 Guinea Pigs and assorted wildlife. We try our best to live a more self reliant lifestyle, growing and making and fixing and mending and re-using and re-cycling stuff, if we can.

I used to be a Research Scientist, but that was many years ago. I now work as a freelance environmental educator/writer/forest school leader and community artist; I also spend a lot of time volunteering as a Master Composter and Master Gardener, helping people make compost and grow veg at home or at school.

I started blogging because I love to write about the things which interest me. Whether it's something I have done in the garden, an article for a magazine, a review of websites or equipment I use, a training course I have attended or "just" my daily routine - I love to write.

I hope you find something to interest you in The Compost Bin - remember to click on the photos to make them full size!

Sat. I...

Worked inside and out.

I cleaned the house, harvested stuff from the garden, washed, hung out to dry, got back in and folded up to put away... various clothes. I watered the polytunnel as normal, watched some recorded TV programmes ( Victorian Pharmacy was very good!)

and had a bit of a rest as I feel curiously weary, at the moment.

  1. Phew! I feel tired just reading about what you did. Can't think why you felt weary. I'm sure it was a very satisfying day. We spent 5 hours of it sitting in a car, stuck in traffic for a lot of the time. It should have taken 2 to 3 hours. Still we visited Ryton on Sunday, which was the best bit of the weekend.
