EcoSci Team Up with One Planet Food Project
EcoSci & West Country Compost is sponsoring Torbay Coast and Countryside Trusts One Planet Food Project at Occombe Farm in Devon. Glendale’s Recycling Division EcoSci, has provided the project with over 40 tonnes of compost for use in the community fruit and vegetable garden.
The garden provides a outdoors community learning space, and its hoped will go on to provide a community veg box scheme to the local area directly from the project. The income from this will enable the project to become sustainable in the longer term and encourage local people to get involved in a hands on way. EcoSci’s West Country Compost is Peat Free and suitable for organic use, so it was perfect for the job of enriching the new plots and creating raised beds in the poly tunnels. The garden has been in development since early 2010, and is set to open fully in September.
For full details please take a look at the Occombe Farm Website where you can join up and become a friend of Ocombe Farm.
