I’ve been composting for a few years and I have 4 bins on the go and I still never make enough to satisfy my needs.If you are brave enough adding urine to the heap helps it break down quicker and also adds goodness to the compost.

Switch To Energy Saving Lightbulbs - 28 Apr 2006
I have changed all the light bulbs, that have fittings for low energy bulbs, in the house over the last few months. As a bulb died I replaced it with an energy saver.
The rest in the house are Hologen’s. Are these any good, or power hungrey?

Love books? Join the library - 05 Jul 2006
Done this for years and I love my library. MrF and I go most weeks and always try and use the mobile library when it comes to the village.
Use your libraries or they will get shut down.

Dry clothes outdoors. - 13 Sep 2006
I hate using the tumble dryer, costs a fortune and clothes just dont smell/feel the same as line dried clothes. Same as spougej manage to dry over the bath in winter.

I live in rural North Lncolnshire, love gardening and grow loads of veg. I try and live as earth friendly as I can but I have to drive miles and miles a week due to my job.I’m hoping a year of Living Generously will off set the guilt a bit :-)
