Things are starting to happen on our new small holding. We have now set up a compost and manure heap. We took a load of garden waste and goat muck in the land rover to the site. The location of the heap had to be carefully considered. There are DEFRA regulations on this matter - we can't just bung the heap anywhere. It has to be over 10 metres from a water course (we have a stream running down one side of our land) and over 50 metres from a bore hole or well (we have neither).
We found a suitable location. Our plan now is to move most of the material from the big compost heap on our Farside allotment to the small holding. That's going to take quite a few journeys.
