It may seem counterintuitive to be recommending items to help move towards zero waste living but it does make sense, I promise! Today I wanted to talk about the top 7 items I’ve added to my life over the last few years that have meant I now create less waste on a day-to-day basis. All of them are quite simple (and generally cheap) but having them in your home (and using them of course!) will make a big difference to the planet.
Since my last post, I have addressed about my garden plant and the proper gardening tools that every gardener must-have, and now, as we head into summer here in the southern hemisphere our poor gardens get dried out from the harsh sun and if we’re not careful our plants get rather sad looking. However unfortunately water is something we have to use carefully here in Australia (and much of the world), so I’m here to help with my top tips for a water efficient garden.
One of my lovely readers requested a post on choosing eco friendly beer, and I like nothing more than to provide helpful information – so here we have it! Beer has always been my go-to alcoholic drink of choice (in moderation of course!). My friends know I love beer so much so that they have asked me to start making your own beer at home which I might be doing in the coming week. I have done my research over the years, making this definitely a topic I’m happy to talk about! If you have any other topics you’d like me to research for you just let me know!
You may have seen some recent media coverage of the new 5p charge for plastic bags across England, so I thought I’d provide some info today about the problem with plastic bags, and why we should be avoiding them whenever possible.
The longer days and additional sunshine that heralds the start of Spring makes it a perfect time to get back out amongst our gardens (or continue gardening if Winter didn’t put you off!) and get planting! Spring is a wonderful time to grow all kinds of delicious veggies and herbs, so I’m here to get you started with a guide to Spring planting!
