What's going on
COMMUNITY COMPOSTING
Making good compost is a way of returning nutrition back to the soil to be used again. Find out how we compost on site, the different methods used and how you can compost at home with bins available through Aberdeenshire Council at subsidised prices.
WIND PUMP PROJECT
Traditional Wind Pumps have been used since the 1920's to pump water using the power of the wind. The original Aermotor company is still making them to the original design and they work just as well now as they did in the 1920's too.
Find out how we intend to use one to provide water for irrigation on site.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
With unpredictable weather and an increased reliance on all things electrical it is even more important now to be prepared for unexpected events.
We aim to increase community resilience by providing key infrastructure and training to help us through those difficult times, and recover sooner as a community.
PLANT POT & TRAY RECYCLING
With the help of Flowerpots Nursery in Kingseat we aim to re-use these items in the community, reduce landfill and contribute to the circular economy.
By collecting, sorting and re-using these pots and trays we can supply plants back to the community so they go round and round again - until they can be formed into something else when they are beyond their primary use.
