Cockburnspath & Cove Community Garden and Allotments

Local residents are encouraged to take their garden waste to the allotments where it is processed into compost for use in the garden.

We shred woody stuff to make it more compostable. We have to be ultra careful not to feed our shredder with undigestible material (stones, glass, metal) as breakages can be expensive, so please ensure it’s organic material only. 

Also, to protect the health of the composters (Neil, David and Jess), please use empty bags to spread the load if leaving heavy material.
