Tumbleweed Welcomes Angus Stewart

Tumbleweed are so pleased to announce that we will be having guest blogs from the lovely Angus Stewart - Angus is a popular TV presenter, he appears regularly on radio and is an award winning author.  We are so pleased to have his extensive knowledge on composting and worm farming and he will be giving some great tips and ideas

Composting is one of those activities that most of us would like to do regularly to not only reduce our environmental footprint, but also to improve our gardens. However, the pressures of modern life as well as the diminishing size of suburban gardens have made it harder and harder to find the time and space to build the traditional steaming hot compost heap. The good news is that a host of innovative composting solutions have been developed so that even in a high rise apartment it is possible to recycle organic materials that you generate each day.

Our aim at Tumbleweed is to show you practical ways to turn a variety of what some consider to be waste materials into one of the most valuable of all resources on the planet, beautiful, nutrient-rich humus. The best way to then use this resource is by growing wonderful organic produce that not only tastes great, but is also a health tonic for you and your children, as well as being part of an environmental education. To help you on this very satisfying journey I will be providing you with practical tips and videos to take you through the loop from composting as much of your organic wastes as possible to using this to grow your garden, from the smallest pot or window box to a large landscaped garden. Enjoy the journey!  Angus
