Hello Tris, the course was at a farm in Worcs near the M5 and it refreshed my desire to make great compost.
I then put the thought out there about using more local wastes and have already been offered coffee grounds from a busy restaurant and barley mash from Alhampton’s new micro brewery.
The compost loo gives nice rich straw for the compost heap and it will be next winter before I spread the poo pile from 2015, around fruit trees. If I were not selling veg, I would be happy to use it on my veg beds. And yes that book about Chinese farming is impressive, they valued their nightsoil.
