Musings on living a different, more self sufficient life.
Now with added forum to join! The Compostbin forum - full of ideas for living a more self reliant life.
Welcome to The Compost Bin, which contains my musings on my life. I live in Herefordshire with my husband and 11 year old daughter. We have 4 acres of land which contains a woodland, small orchard, garden and veg plot. We grow our own organic fruit and veg and make lots of cider, wine, jam and chutney. We share our lives with 16 Chickens, 3 Cats, 4 Guinea Pig and assorted wildlife!
I am a freelance Forest School Leader and Environmental Educator so work with both adults and children on all sorts of things. I also volunteer as a Master Composter and Master Gardener, helping people make compost and grow veg.
So, I might talk about; what we have been doing on our patch of land and in our wood, my work, the chickens and their funny ways, how to grow veg, the fun things our cats get up to, self sufficiency and what it actually means, more general environmental issues, composting, making various crafty stuff, happy and sad times here, living a slower, more hand made, frugal lifestyle, making and mending and re-using and re-cycling stuff, living more lightly on the Earth and my views on life in general.
I hope you enjoy your time spent inside The Compost Bin. I would also love to welcome you as a member of The Compostbin forum

These are what the wood looked like in mid March
And these are from today, just 4 weeks further on in the Wheel of the Year.

I love bluebells - and rhodies too! Went to a local garden which has a mad collection of both and I was in heaven *happy sigh*
Beautiful! We walked in the woods near our home yesterday, it was completely soul-healing. I'm loving this spring!
Beautiful!
