We have become quite the gardeners during the lock-down. Gardens all over the UK are blooming, well curated pictures of beauty. I’m proud of the effort put into my lovely space and so thankful for (on the main part) the spectacular weather we have enjoyed. But does this come at a cost to the planet?! Even when we are in the garden, BBQing there are ways that we can be kinder to our environment without losing the fun side of life.
Eco Firelighters
These Eco firelighters from Log Barn are a perfect way to fire up the BBQ . Easy to light and they keep on burning for long enough to get the fire going ready for the charcoal and more importantly the nosh. Find them here: https://amzn.to/2ZcgppC

Garden Biodegradable Plant Pots
Biodegradable Biopot Plant Pots from Tech-Garden (link: https://amzn.to/2Vh7l1E) are a great addition to every gardeners potting shed.
They are made from 100% Eco friendly, biodegradable and composable peat & wood pulp material. They are bound together with natural raw elements. Good for the garden.
If you want to you can plant them directly into the ground so you don’t disturb the root zone which eliminates plant transfer shock and reduces soil loss. The plants roots will naturally grow through the Bio-Pot wall as it naturally decomposes. If you’d prefer you can simply transfer with your plant or add to your compost heap.
And finally – Bamboo Labels
We love these different shaped Bamboo plant labels. And they come with some other great garden tools representing great value for money. There are heart shapes, as well as the usual shapes you’d expect. So they make your garden look even more special. Made from the eco-friendly, high-quality material – natural bamboo mean they are friendly and renewable and will not damage your plants. The bamboo plants labels can be written on easily.
