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.

Cold, wet and windy day.

Well, not a great start to British Summer Time, here!

After yesterday's fine, warm weather, today is cold, overcast and windy.

I always find clock changes upset my sleep, even when they go forward in the Autumn and we get an extra hour of sleep.

It's not stopping our resident front garden Cock pheasant from wandering around  nipping off the blooms on the Fritillaries, as you can see! 



(Apologies for the blurry images, I was watching him from the Porch as he wandered around in the rain.)
