Don't be tempted to folow recipe instructions that suggest 'placing a pan of water on to boil', instead use the most efficient item in your kitchen to boil water - the kettle!    Report

Our immediate neighbours who have no gardens do not, so we've encouraged them to give us their vegetable waste for us to compost. We get a bigger heap and there should be enough to let them have some back if they want to repot house plants or whatever.    Report
