Food, Land & Water

Street Compost Club is a new project that brings neighbours together to collectively create compost from their food waste in a fun, practical and hygienic way, which can then be used in their gardens and planters to grow more food and flowers.

Often the Sustainable South Hams compost mentors will come out to communities to share the love for compost, but last week, a group of compost enthusiasts from Dartmouth and Totnes did a tour around several of the fabulous community sites that exist in the South Hams.

With the support of the Government’s Trees for Climate Land Acquisition Fund, South Hams District Council have purchased a 65-acre site to be transformed into a community woodland, orchard, and market garden.
