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.

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 ;-)

  3. Wowee ... CONGRATULATIONS! Your posts are always so thoughtful ... it's quite an achievement to have posted 1000 of them. As much as I appreciate the giveaway, I'm going to take my name out of the hat since I live so far away but ... I did want to say Congrats and best wishes on the next 1000!

  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.
