Bio-bags. Dead easy and a great way to do Bokashi.
I keep talking about bio-bags. And to be honest I’m not completely sure what they’re called in different countries. But they are basically these — a roll of bags that work just like plastic bags but that are made from corn starch. Organic in other words, and they will break down in the soil.

Try Bokashi in your vacuum cleaner!
Now I’m not the person you should come and talk to about cleaning. Vacuum cleaning is amongst the worse things I know.

Toss a handful of BokashiContinue reading “Try Bokashi in your vacuum cleaner!”
All those damn coffee grinds
Well, I guess we all drink more coffee than we’d like to admit to. Personally I’m a prezzo drinker. A plunger. Or a whatever you call it wherever you are. The coffee is of course great. And needed.
