Today’s humble harvest
I’m really enjoying all the pigmentation in the plants we eat at this time of year. The deeper the pigments, the more antioxidants, so the better they are for via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsl8KEwFS8I/

Capturing the washing water
It might not look like much, but this drum, bit of pipe and reclaimed hose can save us heaps. It’s simply a way to catch the washing machine water, let it settle, then send it to the garden. We don’t use hot water in our machine which has a 4.5 star water rating and uses…
