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.

New followers and the closing of The Crafty Compostwoman Blog
I know I have some new followers on Bloglovin but unfortunately I do not know a way to work out who you are? But be assured you are most welcome!
And I have a few new followers on my Google feed - thank you !
So a warm welcome all my new followers and please do comment if you like - I do try to respond and am always keen to read your comments :)
And while on the subject of Google - despite my best efforts I cannot renew the subscription for the domain for The Crafty Compostwoman blog and it will expire on 6th Feb 2014. When this happens I will lose the whole blog as it won't revert back to the free blogspot site.
So, I am going to start posting the crafting stuff on here, The Compost Bin, again rather than keeping a separate blog for it. Sorry but I can't think how else to manage it!
I have exported all the posts ( and the lovely comments) over from The Crafty Compostwoman and hopefully all will work out ok.
I will just have to remember to wash my composty hands before starting on some crafting :)
And while I am talking about crafts, here is what I have been up to with the crochet hook over the last few days
