Clean energy from Shell

Melting glaciers. Increasing climate change. Depleted oil and natural gas reserves. This is not another trailer to an apocalyptic film that will soon enter the cinemas, but facts which more and more people are worried about. Instead of sitting unproductively, perhaps it’s worth considering some innovative solutions to these environmental problems?

Compost pile quick tips

I am convinced that composting is the number one thing you can do as a home vegetable gardener that is beneficial for your soil and plants. Adding good quality compost to your soil helps with drainage, nutrients in the soil and so many other things. Along with the soil benefits you can also take a lot of organic material that would otherwise find its way into a landfill and actually put it to good use. The question is, if you are new to gardening, how do you get from that organic material to usable, quality compost?
