Incinerator

Paula from Onekawa

Hi does anyone have a garden incinerator they no longer need or would like to sell/give away? I need to burn some accounts/documents - or if anyone has any idea how to get rid of them apart from public recycling let me know - Thanks

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
