Re: Value Range foods compared

Re: Allotment: Woo Hoooo!!! :) :) :)

congratulations, so exciting for you. Take to hovering over your rubbish and think "what can I use that for" before chucking it. yoghurt pots, marg tubs, cut down plastic bottles can be used as seed/flower pots. lots of rubbish can repurposed.
