• Crush up some eggshells and use them to get snails off your plants.

• Place leftover food towards the front of the fridge in see through containers so that is the first thing you see when you open the fridge door

• If I don’t use herb stems in cooking, I save them to blend into homemade healthy pesto

• I put soggy, wilted spinach in pastas and even curry’s so that even though it’s not fresh anymore there’s still no waste

• Keep a freezer bag for bones and veg offcuts (onion skins, carrot tops, etc.) and boil them into a homemade stock or soup base.

• Freezing over-ripe fruit for smoothies or even home made ice-cream! My favourites are strawberries and bananas.

• Sprinkle water on stale bread and put in the oven for 10 minutes wrapped in foil. It comes out soft and fresh again!
