THIS HAS NOW BEEN POSTPONED! SHOULD BE RE-SCHEDULED FOR EARLY 2011

You might be interested in becoming a Compost Champion….

The aim of the scheme is to encourage more people within Somerset to compost their kitchen and garden waste at home to create rich compost for their garden. For those people who are already home composting we are aiming to encourage them to compost a greater range of items such as their vacuum cleaner contents and cardboard packaging.

The Somerset Waste Action Programme is seeking individuals who live in Somerset and would like to attend a free training day about home composting. All we ask in return is that you take the time to pass your composting knowledge onto others. This may involve talking to friends, family and neighbours or attending local fairs, events and fetes – we’ll even pay your travel expenses for you and provide you with everything you will need for a display.

The training days are suitable for anyone who has an interest in home composting and would like to share their composting knowledge with others. The training days are designed to accommodate all levels of knowledge of home composting.

The training day will cover many aspects of home composting including:

    * Benefits of home composting
    * The composting process
    * Building and locating a bin
    * Getting the right composting mixture
    * Solving composting dilemmas
    * Uses of compost

Saturday 6th November: 10am till 4:30pm, at Hestercombe Gardens, Cheddon Fitzpaine near Taunton, TA2 8LG.

The training day at Hestercombe Gardens includes free access to the gardens during lunch and at the end of the day.
