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.

By the pool

This evening, by the Pool.

New meadow.



Remember how the new meadow looked in October last year?

This is what it looks like, now.



We intended to seed the  new meadow grass mix last October, but the weather was so wet and cold there was no point, so this was seeded in March this year.

Also a swathe of wildflower seeds went in around the pool about then.

Farewell to the JCB

we've finally said farewell to our JCB.

Tom, who has done some work for us, made us a good offer, and tbh We've basically done all the things we bought her for, so she'd been standing around the yard, not doing much.

Tom wants to use her and restore her to her former glory.

So we waved her goodbye, today.
