I was lucky enough to hear her give a talk about composting at a gardening workshop at Ryton Gardens http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/gardens/ryton.php. She was extremely knowledgable and spoke about using every inch of her small city garden to the most effect.She also spoke about keeping chickens and collecting food from her neighbours to compost when she was the only one on her street with a compost bin. Very inspirational!
