Seeds are magic. Put a bag of compost with plum and damson stones in the bottom of the salad drawer in the fridge several weeks ago to stratify.. completely forgot about them. All the stones are now sprouting happily. These were just stones saved from fruit we got at the #CommunityFridge so will pot them up, keep an eye and pass them on when they get a bit bigger. #permaculture #SeedSaving #allotment #gardening

We've acquired a sturdy vacuum packing gadget for free at the #CommunityFridge. No instructions but been experimenting with it this afternoon. We are often given 3kg or 5kg bags of pasta, rice, lentils etc which are far too big for most people. I've just decanted those into smaller packs which will be easier to offload. Most amused that the fusilli pasta was so sharp it popped the bags when vac packing!
