Plant. Eat. Repeat.

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 […]

Eating Vegan in Denmark…

So last week I was in Denmark, living it up on holiday for nine days. It was brilliant. The weather was fantastic, the people were super friendly, and nature was amazing. The only thing that let the country down was the cuisine. I was vegetarian for about 14 years, and then I drifted back to […]

Avoseedo: an easy Way to Grow Avocados

I eat quite a lot of avocados. When I was living in Africa, we would go down to the end of the garden and pick the avocados straight from the tree. They’d ripen over the next few days, and before you’d know it, you’d have tons of avocados just to happily much through. Now, in […]

Composting Without a Compost Heap

I’ve currently got a box full of vegetable peelings, tea bags, fruit peel and coffee grounds sitting in my kitchen. I normally do, and it varies in states of decay dependant on how long it takes me to fill up the box. Sometimes the contents are fresh, dry, odor free. At other times I am […]

Gardening and Mental Health

Sometimes the world gets a little much. Sometimes coping mechanisms fail if they were ever there at all. And sometimes, life just gets you down. What do you do in those instances? We’ve known for a long time that gardening is good for you. Grow some plants, eat them, enjoy naturally produced local food, jam-packed […]

Recipe: Rhubarb and Ginger Tea

There are many ways of preserving food, but one of simplest is to dry it. Using either the rays of the sun, ovens or dehydrators, people have been preserving food by drying it for eons. And one of the nicest things that you can do with dried food is also one of the easiest – […]

Growing Tomatoes on Rooftops (or Anywhere Else For That Matter)

If you are new to growing your own food, tomatoes are a great place to start. Not only are they ridiculously easy to grow, but they will also taste wildly different from those that you can purchase at the supermarket. In order than your supermarket bought tomatoes arrive fresh and ripe to store, they are […]
