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.

Mole pups!

 Yesterday fun here at Compost Mansions. 

Eeek!

Ian was digging bindweed out of a raised veg bed,  out near the top of the Wood, and uncovered this!


We've covered them up while I go and seek advice 


Update

I've just been on the phone to local wildlife place, The founder is a friend of mine and runs Herefordshire Wildlife Rescue, she's said if the mother hasn't returned by tomorrow morning, she'll take them.

But hopefully the mum will come back and rescue them.

Later update

Just went out to look (carefully) and there is a new tunnel at the bottom of the nest, and the mole pups are gone !

So Mum has moved them 💕
