🌱 Welcome to The Soil Factory

A neighbourhood experiment in compost, culture, and the occasional dance-off.

We’re building something beneath your feet.
Literally.The Soil Factory is a grassroots initiative turning food scraps into Living Soil—right here in Forest Row, East Sussex. Think: neighbourhood composting stations, shared tools, worm bin wisdom, and local growers getting the good stuff.We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel (or the worm). We’re working with nature’s original circular economy—powered by microbes, mycelium, and our wonderful local community.✨ It’s about regeneration—but also participation.
✨ It’s serious work—but with music on.
✨ It’s infrastructure with soul. And soul with a shovel.We’re currently setting up our first composting stations—with the help of volunteers, local businesses, councils, and curious passers-by. Whether you’re a soil nerd, a climate optimist, or just like the idea of community-powered solutions that don’t feel like homework, we’d love you to follow along.
