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!

1000 posts givaway

To celebrate my 1000 post milestone yesterday  I am going to do a givaway!

So, follow me and leave a comment and in a week or so I will put all the names  in a hat and get Compostgirl to select one at random.

I will then send the recipient a small token of my appreciation and thanks, for reading my blog ;-)

  4. Congratulations on your great achievement! We've done the birdwatch for several years now - it's strange how the birds seem to know when it is and stay away...

  7. I've been reading your blog for over a year & I love the tales about the hens, as well as general compost information & am so envious of your land. Here's to another 1000 posts!

  8. I've been following you via Google reader for a while, enjoying your tales of preserving, gardening and composting. I do a little of each, although on a much smaller scale as only have the garden of a small victorian terrace to work with. Was very excited to see my first 2013 seeding sprouting this morning (a costoluto genovese tomato), happy gardening.
