Pretty much every farm will have buildings built from old telegraph poles, re-used tin sheeting, farm tracks made from old crushed bricks and concrete, machinery mended many times, or made from scratch by the farmer from other bits and pieces. There is even a magazine called Practical Farm Ideas which showcases the skills and ingenuity of farmers in saving themselves money by make-do and mending. And do we get any credit for all this eco-friendliness? No we just get nasty articles about how we are destroying the environment written by journalists in the Guardian, who have a new car every year and fly off to Tuscany on holiday at the drop of a hat. <br /><br />Environmentalism, thy name is hypocrisy.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382255864661846735.post-28482637142659794862010-05-09T13:16:04.642+01:002010-05-09T13:16:04.642+01:00Maybe I will start to watch Gardener's World a...Maybe I will start to watch Gardener's World again...delcattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925044785996454603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382255864661846735.post-8971935650501324682010-05-09T13:15:14.059+01:002010-05-09T13:15:14.059+01:00Spot on as always FB.

The composter produced lots of wonderful stuff last year and is now slowly filling up again.

I've had them for about 15 years. They keep cold wind and frost at bay.<br /><br />I have a double-glazed cold frame using a kitchen window that was going to the dump. Another made from the glass panel of an overbath shower. They look odd but they work.<br /><br />As you say, nothing to do with saving the planet and everything to do with saving money.<br /><br />The Greens always miss the point. They bleat on about taxing us more but if they were to point out that recycling could save us all money, we'd all perk up.<br /><br />Green by name, green by nature, I suppose.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.com
