I used to live with my Gran when I went to university. She taught me a lot about making good food, eating simply and making do. It has had a strong influence on how we live now.

Frames can be made from all sorts of things. I don’t like wasting materials as you know, so...

Quick Mitts

Bought oven mitts are.. disappointing. Linen oven mitts are great, but pricey. Have your cake, and bake it too, with your very own no-waste linen quick-mitts.

Volunteers welcome

Who wouldn’t want more volunteers in the garden? If you do trenching, you’ll have more show up than you could have hoped for, and every single one happy and tasty. Haha.

Even if we stopped making virgin plastic right now, there would still be enough out in the world to last us forever. Time to get it back.

My metal funnel

We want to love and buy local rather than import, reduce plastics and consumption of single use glass given it has a far lower rate of recycling than metal/tin. Let’s do both, with a metal funnel.

The Stock Cycle
