Beanpole Event - 01.05.11

As part of our Compost Awareness Week promotions, volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters attended the Greenwood Trusts Beanpole Weekend at Ironbridge.

The event celebrated “all things beanpole” open day featuring advice and demonstrations to promote the benefits of using our very own, British, home grown product in all manner of ways. Hundreds of people came out to see live demonstrations of traditional pole lathe turning, basket and fence hurdle making, together with the chance to actually visit coppiced woodland as well as of course the opportunity to get free advice on home composting from an experienced Master Composter.
