Community Composting for Local Food Growing course |
|
Friday, 19 October 2012 09:59 |
|
Now we have our 12 training hubs selected we can start delivering the Community Composting for Local Food Growing course! The three day course is free and is accredited by CIWM (Chartered Institution of Wastes Management).
The aim of the course is to get local food growing groups community composting as well so they can produce enough compost for all their growing needs. We would like two or three people from each group to attend so that the composting knowledge and responsibility is shared and doesn't fall to just one person.
The course will cover the following topics through classroom learning and practical activities:
- Compost and soils
- Practical composting
- Legislation
- Compost uses for local food growing
- Quality assurance

We were granted funding for a two and a half year project by the Big Lottery Local Food Programme in October 2011. Our aim is to set up a training and support network with 12-15 training hubs across England with associated trainers who will be trained to deliver a CIWM accredited training course to local food growing groups, so they too can start community composting.

Members Survey - What did you do in 2011? |
|
Tuesday, 14 August 2012 12:35 |
|
The Community Composting Network needs to build on the strong foundations provided by your excellent responses to previous members’ surveys and our ongoing collaborations with The Open University.
Every members survey is really important - it enables us to build up a developing picture of Community Composting over the years; but more importantly it proves the demand for support to your organisations right now and strengthens arguments for the importance of your activities. Now, more than ever, we need to prove the impact of what Community Composters achieve as a sector. Without this information we are unable to prove what vibrant, hardworking, innovative and determined people you are.
