Volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters recently attended the local food market (organised by the Ludlow 21 group) in the Castle Square in Ludlow. The market takes place twice a month on Thursdays. Everything sold at the market should come from within a 30 mile radius of Ludlow to reduce food miles and encourage sustainabililty.
Of course encouraging people to make their own compost is a cornerstone of sustainability. Better than 30 miles you can get compost which has travelled no more than 30 footsteps to spread on your garden!
Over the course of the day we spoke to around 50 people about home composting and encouraged them to visit the www.shropshire.getcomposting.com website to find out more about the Shropshire home composting scheme.A big thank you to the market organisers for letting us have a free stall and of course to the local volunteers who staffed the event.
