  • French marigolds will keep bugs and nematodes away above and below the ground
  • A cover crop of nasturtiums can stave off weed infestation and deter pests
  • Aubergines can act as a trap crop for destructive beetles
  • Horseradish is known to increase potato disease resistance
  • Spinach and radishes can be inter-planted with potatoes, as they come to harvest long before the potato and are thought to improve potato flavour too!
  • You might consider planting a row of beans between potato rows, as this will add nitrogen to the soil later when you dig everything under and about, and in the meantime the potatoes will ward off bean-loving pests.

BR FIX HERE:



  1. Cloth Nappies - while only 10% of the population opt for cloth, technology is improving all the time and most brands are now pin free and shaped to baby's body. There are also laundries like Lavenderia who will actually wash them for you! 



  2. Cloth reusable 'pant' with an absorbent insert which is disposed of - via the toilet or composted. 



  3. Disposable nappies - around which there is still a lot of debate. There are products in the market that claim to be compostable and certainly most eco nappies have none of the chemicals and perfumes that more conventional disposables have. Ecoriginals certainly seems to have developed a formula for a truly biodegradable nappy. 



One thing that is clear is that there is less and less reasons to use the old fashioned disposable nappies that are propping up landfill all over Australia.

The Romans reported the use of borage in curing hangovers! Whilst tea made from its leaves is well known to sooth fevers, sore throats, chest infections and bronchitis.

I am a massive fan of Judy Davie. I have 2 of her cookbooks and am a Green Smoothie devotee after buying The Greengrocer's Diet. I love how practical her advice and how easily she makes simple food taste fantastic. 11 Nov 2016

I got my pantry audited by Judy ages ago. She replaced half the food in it and I have never looked back. Great service and honestly, she has changed my attitude to food. (And my weight.) 11 Oct 2016

Science Notes

The science point here is psychological as well as planet saving. By giving your clothes to someone you know, you can be sure the clothes are going to a good home, are going to be worn and you don’t have to feel bad about giving it up. Giving your clothes a second life helps reduce our global waste, saves you a heap of money and shows off your creative style.

Related Tip

If you have clothes that are both unwanted and unwearable, repurpose them. Cut off the buttons, buckles and straps to use elsewhere and cut the fabric into material strips to be turned into rags. You could, perhaps, use them as part of your home cleaning regime. Repurposing brings new life and new uses into an old object and even a humble cleaning rag is a useful life.
