Composting at Home
Posted:
Monday 13th October |
Why NOW is the Best Time to Compost at Home
Stratford-on-Avon District Council new recycling service, when fully implemented from April 2009, will include food composting service in your green bin. Until then, here are some useful facts and tips about composting at home and reducing biodegradable waste going to landfill.
A staggering 60%* of the rubbish we generate is biodegradable!
Composting your bio-degradable waste at home means considerably less rubbish has to be collected and transported to disposal sites plus you have the compost to use on your own garden.
• Compost bins and heaps - take garden waste and uncooked vegetable and fruit scraps from the kitchen and can produce a compost that is useful in the garden.
• Wormeries - take cooked and uncooked vegetable and fruit scraps and some small amounts of meat scraps. They produce fine compost and a liquid plant feed that when diluted with water can be used to feed pot plants and hanging baskets.
• Digesters - take all kitchen scraps and plate scraps, uncooked or cooked, including meat, fish, bones, dairy products and fruit and vegetable remains. Digesters do not produce any compost, they simply provide a way to dispose of kitchen scraps without putting them in the bin by turning them into water, carbon dioxide and nutrients.
These methods and practices contribute towards;
• lower transportation costs,
• lower use of non renewable fuel,
• less pollution,
• fewer lorries on our roads,
• less pollution from landfill site and means that our requirements for these sites will be reduced.
Autumn tips on composting:
• Problem: too many autumn leaves
Solution: Leaves take a long time to break-down and therefore add them sparingly to the compost bin or heaps. The smaller the leaves, the better they will break-down, so try to cut them up with the blades of your lawnmower before composting. Leaf mould is a fabulous, cheap and easy to create soil conditioner. Information about making leaf mould can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/techniques/soil_makeleafmould1.shtml
• Problem: too much windfall fruit
Solution: Squash the fruit to help it break-down and place it on your compost heap mixed in with dry materials such as cardboard, fallen leaves, wood chippings, lavatory rolls and tea bags to trap air and to increase decomposition in your heap.

Are You Stuck for Transport?
Posted:
Tuesday 8th April |
If so, the Community Links social transport scheme maybe just what you are looking for.
Community Links operates a small fleet of vehicles, each with full disability access, offering a ‘door-to-door’ service for people stuck for transport to get to and from their nearest town or village for shopping or visiting friends.
The service is for people who have a genuine need for local transport and cannot access public transport because of mobility problems and/or who live in a rurally isolated location with no other form of transport available.
The Community Links service operates between about 9.30am and 2.30pm on weekdays in each part of the District three days a week. The fare system is a simple flat rate of £1.20 per single journey, i.e. £2.40 return ‘door-to-door’.
Successes of the scheme to date include:
• Over 25,000 passenger journeys completed since launch in April 2006
• Over 1000 people now registered with the project
• A fifth vehicle to join the scheme sponsored by Stratford Town Trust starts April 2008
• Overall satisfaction rating of 96% in a recent survey of service users
• 98% of Community Links users rate the service ‘value for money’ and a lifeline to them maintaining their independence.
“It’s an absolutely wonderful service; without it I would be housebound and this has opened up a whole new life for me,” says Mrs D from Bidford.
If you need this service, or know someone who does, phone
Community Links on 01789 264491 for more information
The Community Links social transport scheme works in close co-operation with the Volunteer Centre Medical Journey Scheme for doctor, dentist and hospital and medical related appointments. For this ‘medical journey’ scheme contact Clarissa Roberts on 01789 296344.
