Finally my greener life or bust , garden maintenance venture is now a money making venture, my first pay i even decided to use non power tools for the laylandii, bow saw and then dug them out very ecologically sound but very hard work leaving them in the garden so the soil and its inhabitants return to the garden, ill then cut them up for the woodburner, so money and fuel as pay cant be bad. And even better the lady next door wants me to look at a tree in her garden. Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising.

This evening decided to have a look at the new refit Morrisons store , and as a lover of different veg and mushrooms was very suprised at the quality and variety of both. The freshness looked good and the new hightech counter with its ice base and misting system gathered much attention, but i throw this one out there. " how much energy does this use , whats its carbon footprint? what is this ultra fresh looking veg area costing to run. I also found it sad to get to the check out and find the person there didnt even know what Purple Kale was, perhaps a little less tech and a bit more education may work wonders. But on the whole a well done for trying to bring a bit of GREEN variety back to the plate.

At last a start to my new venture, Greener Life Or Bust   gardening. Im trying to create a more ethical way of gardening, as little waste as possible. This job started with the dismantling of a small cyprus garden it left quite a large pile of debris  some was cut for logs to burn in my logburner , the thinner lenghts i used to repair a hedge by weaving, all succesful with no waste   job done

It was tidy day yesterday, an attack on the kitchen . Its surprising how much recyclable stuff just hangs around for no reason, bottles,jars plastic bottles ,sprays with just a few drops in, all i can say is it was a good day it was our recycle bin day.The fridge also seems to hide a proportion ov compostable veg which the worms loved it . One item i found in there was a soft Apple, what to do, well had a big roaring stove so thought i would have a go at drying it.  Worked a treat and the kids loved it.
