Soil Squad

Soil Squad's Community Composting Hub turns food waste into living compost for gardens and allotments. We showcase hot and cold composting, maturation bays, Johnson–Su bioreactors and leaf mould. We focus on planet, plant and people health, Soil Squad is for anyone keen to enrich both their soil and wellbeing. The Wilderhood Watch Allotment is also open, designed for wildlife and productivity.
