Every Day Should Be Earth Day

In Paris, leaders from 160 different countries are gathered to sign the Paris Climate Agreement. Today has been chosen because it is Earth Day, a global day of activism that aims to help support and promote global sustainability and green projects.

Things You Could Do For Earth Day

I’m writing this because I’ve just got a little bit angry. I don’t get angry often, but sometimes I resort to it, normally out of pure frustration. And why am I frustrated? Well, because I’ve just spent some time Googling, and trying to find suggestions for what people can do to celebrate Earth Day. I […]

Tomato Facts

This morning I learnt a really interesting fact. Those little hairs that are present on the stem of tomatoes? You know the ones, and if not I’ve posted a picture below. Well, these are there for two reasons – to protect the plants from insects by creating a physical barrier, and to regulate the temperature […]

Growing Chillies Inside and Out

Growing Chillies Inside and Out

Chilli peppers are amazingly easy to grow. If you live in a cool climate, you can pop them on a south-facing window ledge, and they’ll thrive. Or, if you have a higher average outdoor temperature, they are also happy in full sun out in the garden. There are an abundance of different varieties, but here […]

Guide To Chilli Pepper Varieties

Twilight

I like growing chilli peppers. They are really easy, and plentiful. They take up little space and grow as happily inside as they do out. All they want from life is sun, warmth, and the odd water. Consequently, I grow a lot of chillies. At the moment I have about 40 different plants, and about […]

Growing Courgettes In Containers

Courgettes, also known as zucchinis in North America, are robust and fruitful plants. If given the right conditions, you do not only get a wealth of fruits, but you can also grow them on a bit to get a couple of marrows per container plant. Best of all, however, you get to harvest the flowers, […]

Epic Indoor Growing

April 5, 2016

Got a spare warehouse lying around? If so, you could be one of the first to adopt a new way of growing – indoor aquaponics. Sure, this way of growing has been around for years, but new adventurous startups are changing urban outbuildings into the new style city farms. London was the first major city […]

Growing Outside

I’ve spent the weekend pottering and reading, weeding and drinking cups of tea. The weather has a warmth behind it, and on a walk recently I did not take a jacket. And for the first time in almost half a year, I did not regret that choice. Whilst pottering, and tidying up the roof terrace, […]

Ikea Hacks And Windy Facts

This week I’ve been looking for places to put the various seedlings that are starting to grow. This is because the weather outside has been atrocious and they aren’t likely to be able to go out anytime soon. We’re on the top floor of the building and normally enjoy the uninterrupted views out over Lake […]

Cowspiracy; My Thoughts

Cowspiracy; My Thoughts

I’ll be honest, I had put off watching Cowspiracy for a long time. For those of you that missed it, it is a film that looks at the animal agricultural business. Essentially, from the title alone you can already get a sense that it is a film that is about to question that industry. And as a […]
