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.

Smells!

I have just picked a stem of lavender from my patio herb garden, and as is usual, I ran my fingers along the head, and sniffed my fingers. I've been doing this for ever, but for the last 16 months, with any aromatic plant, I haven't been able to smell *anything*, since I got Covid, (in March 2020.) 

 For the first time in 16 months I COULD SMELL IT! (apparently it is very very strong, and I can't say I found it strong, but I *could* smell it!)

I am SO happy.
