I'll be honest, I couldn't hide my glee when these samples arrived in the post. What are they? Biodegradable Bagasse Deli pots and matching lids. (Honestly, it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) We're giving these pots some serious thought, as it ticks more than 1 box and we've been … [Read more...] about Eco-friendly sauce pot?

It’s in the bag
My hard work in the garden this year is starting to pay off. One of my (sort of) success stories are these potatoes. I grew them in potato bags - at one point they were in danger of blocking my way out of the house every day. Finally, the foliage started to die back, so I took the plunge and had a … [Read more...] about It’s in the bag
Handy plastic recycling link
Hands up if you're confused about what and where you can recycle stuff. We are being continually asked about how, what and where plastic packaging can be disposed of. There isn't currently a definitive "go to" central information point, which is pretty much what the country is currently crying out … [Read more...] about Handy plastic recycling link
Movin’ on up
I've been stressing for a week or so, watching the poor plants recover from their cramped conditions (cruelty to a salad leaf, I know) Despite my gung ho approach, it's all doing alright. How on earth, I don't know. With a little assistance from some Looped Skewers, everything is headed in an … [Read more...] about Movin’ on up

They live, and I learnt…
A month into my "seeds in our biodegradable packaging" experiment, I am delighted to say that I've created edible life. It actually works! 3 weeks in, and here is the evidence. I'm mildly shocked that anything has grown at all and also surprised at just how well our Biodegradable Coffee Cups and … [Read more...] about They live, and I learnt…

As the saying goes... "never judge a book by its cover" and it can be true of our packaging too. With recycling being THE buzz word of the year, we're proud to say that we have re-used supplier boxes for as long as I can remember. This box contains a customers order containing plastic glasses, … [Read more...] about Boxing Clever
Home grown is best!
March is not typical salad growing season in the Uk. Over the past year or so, there has been a tangible shift towards taking care of the planet we all call home, whether it concerns single use plastics, disposable coffee cups or food miles. I want to do my little bit too. As a self confessed … [Read more...] about Home grown is best!

Size Matters (Really, it does)
If I could pass on one single nugget of advice to a new start up, it would be this. More often than not, it's miles easier to adapt the size of the product than the packaging you're putting it in. We receive calls every day enquiring about packaging that's ever so slightly different to something we … [Read more...] about Size Matters (Really, it does)
