The first year I ever grew potatoes, my then-girlfriend-now-wife and I threw some manky tats from the back of the cupboard into some recycled car tires filled with compost. We did little else, save a bit of water then and now, and within a couple of months, we had a whole heap of delicious potatoes. […]
The Lost Gardeners…
This week, in a rather posh part of London town, a bunch of gardening aficionados are milling around. Yes, its time for the good ol’ Chelsea Flower Show again. Now, admittedly, I’m not that interested in the show gardens, all the pouncing about over flowers and the general upper-class air to the whole thing. In […]
Recipe: Elderflower Champagne
Making your own booze is ridiculously easy, and you need very little in the way of specialist equipment. In fact, this recipe even requires you to drink some booze in order to make it, as you’ll need some bottles with swing-tops, and the cheapest way to acquire those is to buy some beer (Grolsch, for […]
Newbie Vegan… The Story So Far.
When I started this blog, the Plant in PlantEatRepeat, was very much in reference to plants in my garden and the food that I grow and forage. And then I watched Cowspiracy. From that point onwards I started to think more about my diet, and the wider implications of it. And that’s when I decided that […]
A-Z of Tomato Pests and Diseases
I’ve got six tomato plants out on the terrace. A little while back I used a pallet to build a trellis for two of the tomato plants, and at the same time transferred them from there little pots into a much bigger shared pot. Although initially, everything was hunky-dory, since then they’ve been a little […]
Things to Do with Pallets…
A little while ago, admittedly after a couple of beers, I procured a pallet from the paint shop in my building. Turns out I took it from the pile that was destined for the bin (as I’d assumed), and now I can liberate the rest, at will, once they are moved into the rubbish pile. […]
Recipe: Vegan Flapjacks
When I first started this blog the “plant” in Plant. Eat. Repeat. was to do with planting, growing, raising food. And then I watched Cowspiracy, switched back to being vegetarian and tried to be as vegan as possible. Not the “plant” refers both to those that I grow, as well as the plant-based life I’m […]
Garden Update: Now with added Pallets…
My apartment block is like many in the area; homes from the first floor up, but retail space on the ground floor. And down there we’ve got a paint shop. Now I’m not too interested in paint, but I have been eyeing up their pallets for a long time. The shop is usually quite good […]
Why You Should Be Growing Chives…
Every garden, however small, should grow herbs. Not only are they super easy to grow, they can also add delicious flavours to home cooked meals. But the best reason to grow herbs is simple – they will save you a fortune. If you go to the supermarket here, you’ll pay around 3.95chf (that’s about $4) […]
Ikea Hack – Worm Composter
I’ve posted about composting before, and also given you ways that you can compost without a compost bin. I mentioned (in that blog) about my homemade IKEA hack worm composter, and having received a few emails about it, I thought it probably warranted its own post. What’s A Wormery?! Vermiculture is the term given to […]
