Building a Compost Bin Course

HBC was pleased to be approached by St Anne's pensioners group in association with London Community Recycling Network North to run a course teaching people how to build a compost bin for their gardens.

The Course took place on 5th November 2004. The site is the surrounding back space of St Anne's library where they are going
to install a compost bin to deal with the waste from the gardens currently being landscaped and planted there.

Here we see trainer Andrew Smith from HBC addressing the eager audience of pensioners.

The assembled group were given a half hour talk in the hall by trainer Liam Devany about why composting is good for everyone and which materials should and should not be composted.

There were lots of questions to be answered after the talk and each person was given a handout explaining all the methods with instruction on how to build the compost bin.

After the talk everyone moved outside and we made sure they were all wrapped up well for the nice autumn weather! Here we see the wood that will be used for the corner joints being layed out for measuring first.
