The Edible Garden Programme

edible-gardenReally enjoyed watching The Edible Garden on the BBC iPlayer tonight. The presenter (Alys Fowler) is trying to grow as much as she can in her urban garden at the same time as keeping the garden as pretty as possible. The first episode covered Peas and Beans and I picked up a lot of good tips! There's a nod to permaculture (designing and working with nature rather than fighting it) throughout. All in all, a well spent half an hour for anyone growing food in a city, be they beginner or expert. It's part of a series too, next time it's salad crops.

Aerosol Cans Now Accepted in Southampton's Recycling Bins

Blog-AerosolsIf you use areosols they can now be recycled using the regular recycle bins (the ones with the blue lid!). Here are some notes from Southampton City Council's Website:

Estimates show that we each use an average of ten aerosols per year, such as deodorants, hair sprays, air fresheners and furniture polish. All of these cans can now be recycled. Aerosols put out for recycling must be empty with any loose plastic lids removed. Cans must not be pierced or squashed.

Aerosol can that can't be accepted: Aerosols containing insecticides, oven cleaners, paint and automotive sprays (often marked with a skull and cross bones or a black cross on an orange background) must not be placed in the blue lidded recycling bin. Please continue to place these in your green lidded bin.

Here's the information on Southampton City Council's Website.
