Often dismissed as a stubborn, invasive weed, Horsetail  ( Equisetum arvense ) is actually a "living fossil" that has survived for over 300 million years. For the organic gardener, it is a potent resource—a natural, mineral-rich tonic that acts as both a defensive shield and a growth stimulant. Using horsetail as a garden spray provides a range of benefits that chemical alternatives simply cannot match, primarily due to its unique chemical composition and ancient evolutionary

Please do help us weed the pavements in Laugharne so the County council do not spray. If you can help us please do contact Charles or David. Even if you just weed outside your property it would help.

Turning Waste into Wealth: The Vital Role of Garden Compost Bins In an era where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, one of the most powerful tools for environmental change is sitting quietly in the corner of many backyards: the compost bin. Often overlooked as just a receptacle for kitchen scraps and garden trimmings, the compost bin is actually a sophisticated biological engine. It transforms organic waste into "black gold," providing a circular solution t

Laugharne Citizen Science started testing the River Corran and Mackerel Lake stream in Nov 2024. The first year results have been analysed and a report produced which you can download via the link below. No major issues but the report covers this in some details. Thank you to all who took part and supported the group to enable us to do this important work . We are carrying on with the Corran and Mackerel lake stream and have just started testing the River Taf and the estuary.

Below are the results of our 2nd test of the River Taf. Now included are dissolved Oxygen, PH and EC.

The talk on Coed Sancler, by Owain Grant is now 18:00 on Tuesday 9th

By way of context, it’s important to unde

We started monthly testing of the River Taf today. Anyone who want to help with water collection please let us know.

Charts below show a rolling 12 months results and also the comparison of Nov 24 to Nov 25. Before we collected water there has been 2 weeks of heavy rain , and the high nitrate could be due to the amount of slurry spread on fields before the closed period in mid-October.

Here are the twelve months results. As David said thanks to all the collectors and testers. We are planning to start the estuary and the River Taf soon- if you can volunteer, particularly with sample water collection (pairs of two required) please contact David or myself.
