Go potty for these recycled tyre flower pots

Add some eco-style to your garden with recycled tyre flower pots

Spring is just round the corner, and those of us lucky enough to have gardens are starting to think about them – so why not liven up your garden with these funky recycled tyre flower pots. Driving is one of the major causes of carbon emissions, and many car parts and accessories are simply scrapped, ending up in landfill, so finding a use for old tyres rather than just throwing them away is at least one way of helping to cut waste. These recycled tyre flower pots are suitable for use both indoors and out, and come in three sizes – handy for all your planting needs! Strong, durable and made to last, these recycled tyre plant pots are hand-cut and hand stitched by traditional craftsmen in the Middle East, many of whom are using talents passed down from generation to generation. Each pot is made from 100% recycled materials, made from the rubber of old tyres that would otherwise be sent to landfill. So you are not only buying a fun, funky accessory for your home, patio or garden, you are helping support traditional skills as well as being eco-friendly – making these the perfect gift, even if just for yourself!

Green light with a wind up lantern

Tracey — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:50:56 +0000

A wind-up lantern is the perfect eco-accessory for the garden

For eco-friendly light on the go, use a Freeplay wind-up lantern. Perfect for camping, travelling, or even just in the garden, this is a perfect eco-friendly source of light and requires almost no effort to run – as little as 60 seconds winding gives you up to three hours light. This portable lantern is fitted with a dimmer switch so you can set it to your perfect brightness – maximum light if you need it, or a more subtle glow. The Freeplay wind-up lantern doesn’t need batteries or replacement bulbs so is cheap to run and environmentally friendly – no toxic batteries to dispose of and no mains electricity needed. It also has a cluster of ultra-bright LED lights as a primary light source but a second, single LED bulb to use as a directional light – so you can use it like a torch if needed. When fully charged the light gives you around three hours of bright light but lasts an impressive 70 hours at the lowest setting – perfect for lighting on the go. (You also get 40 hours of directional light from a fully charged lantern). Pleasantly retro looking in design, this lantern in fact utilises modern wind up technology to create the perfect eco-solution and to give you the light you need anywhere, anytime.

Solar powered plant pots – how does your garden glow?

Light up your garden with a solar powered plant pot

Add a glow to your gardening with these fun, funky solar powered plant pots. The pots soak up the daylight, which charges the pot’s internal LED bulbs. These built in bulbs cause the pot to glow gently in the dark, adding a magical touch to your garden or patio. The pot’s solar panel comes on a separate spike attached to the pot by a cable so that, even if the plants don’t sit in direct sunlight, you can simply place the solar panel in the best position to maximise the sun it receives. It’s easy to do – no mains wiring required – plus it’s splashproof to guard against the joys of the British weather. The amount of time the pots glow depends on the amount of sun they receive, varying between 6-8 hours in summer and 2-4 in the winter – so plenty of time for you to enjoy their evening glow even on these winter nights. You can choose one of these lovely eco-friendly pots that glows white, or one that changes colour – and if you cluster a few together they make a stunning display that will put even the most exotic plant to shame. So why not brighten up your garden with a solar powered plant pot?

Worm Works wormery is great for your garden

Greener gardening with a Worm Works wormery

Most people are slightly squeamish about worms, but this Worm Works wormery shows that they can be your garden’s best friend. This stacking wormery is easy to use: you simply add your kitchen waste scraps and the worms will eat their way through it, leaving rich compost in their wake. Worms are actually super environmentally friendly creatures, eating waste and creating plant-friendly compost – they eat their own body weight every day and double their population every 60-90 days, so as your wormery (or worm farm) grows, you can increase the amount of scraps you add to it. This stacking wormery operates simply, harnessing the surface feeding nature of the Tiger Worms that live inside it. They rise to the top of the wormery as they feed, so that you just need to pull out the bottom tray to access the compost. The liquid fertiliser gathers in a chamber at the bottom, and the wormery is fitted with a tap so that this can be easily drained. So not only will you save money on shop-bought fertiliser, you reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill. The wormery needs little care – it looks after itself when you are on holiday – and can be stored inside or out. Easy to assemble, the Worm Works stacked wormery is made from 100% recycled plastic, so is good for the planet and the garden!

Greener gardening with the Composphere

Tracey — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:45:47 +0000

The unique Composphere lets you easily make compost for your garden

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to be greener in the garden, the Composphere is the perfect way to do this. With a generous 351 litre capacity, this unique garden composter is designed to make it easy and quick for you to have great compost for your garden. The Composphere is made from 100% recycled plastic, so is environmentally friendly, and is designed to be super easy to use. It is similar to a traditional compost tumbler but isn’t limited to a frame, instead you can roll it around the garden, tumbling your contents together. If you also use an accelerant – organic, of course – you could have some great compost in weeks, so in plenty of time for your spring gardening. If you need to store the Composphere, you simply unscrew it and the two hemispheres rest inside one another. The Composphere also allows you to move it around the garden easily so you can spread your compost without any hassle – perfect especially for those with larger gardens. The Composphere design has already proved popular and has been featured on the BBC and in Garden News. As we throw away a huge amount of organic waste every year – much of it going to rot in landfill where it generates harmful gasses – using your food waste to make compost in a Composphere makes sense for the planet, and for your garden.
