Wonderful stuff. Looking forward to it. I’ll ask Jane to tell all ref wormery!

We do indeed have a look at the ash cloud in this week’s show. And I’m thinking of doing something with a wormery next week. Do let me know how easy they are to use if you have one.
All the best,

Ooh, I’ve been thinking about a wormery… is it difficult? I haven’t heard about the impact of the plane grounding – only the economic, such as the produce in Africa being trashed and the workers sent home. It’s a great question to ask, though – and one which I’ll steal from you and send to the BBC’s One Planet team and see if they can find out…

Yes, know what you mean about packaging. I feel smug about ordering on line and not driving into town (buses totally unreliable!) but then one tiny thing comes in a huge box!
I have a wormery but think all the worms are now dead so need to replace, and we have a great recycling scheme here, but it never quite feels enough. I’d love to know what environmental impact the recent plane grounding ha shad. I haven’t heard it referred to, have you?

That’s a great idea, too. Grow Wild have been sending us large tubs of Rachel’s yoghurt, and the only thing that’s non-recyclable on those is the wee flimsy bit of film lid (you know, the bit that you lick?). The rest is easily dismantled and heads into the Bag for Recycling. Top marks for them.

p.s. You reminded me I had beetroot delivered. On the boil now for some yummy chutney later. Thanks!

I hate not being able to recycle most of the packaging plastic.. and yoghurt tubs annoy me the most. At least when I buy the big/tall tubs of yoghurt, they come with a closeable lid and I can reuse them for food storage after I’ve peeled off the recycleable piece of cardboard around it. Currently I’ve got grated beetroot in my fridge and soup frozen in the freezer in these tubs…
