How to use The Compost Bin.

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

Visit to Ludlow.


 
 Ludlow Castle in the late after noon murk



 Woodstores at Derham House







The house itself.


Home of Clearview stoves









Lots of lovely rooms in this mansion, all set out as a showroom for Clearview products.



I liked the old kitchen best, this Clearview is 27 years old and still going strong.

Compostgirl went off on a week long Activity Holiday with school and while she was away we had a few days out. One was to Ludlow, where we had lunch, wandered around the town and castle and then went to Dinham House, home and showroom for Clearview Stoves.



We are still arguing  discussing about which new woodburner make to get, a Burley or a Clearview.!

Ludlow! A place I've actually visited. :) One of my great adventures driving there by myself.

I'm envious - a wood stove is high on my want list.
