Do it clean

I’ve really been caning the Bar Keepers Friend since getting a bottle the other month. It’s bonkers stuff!

Work surfaces, old burnt pots, the kid’s trainers, old coins, anything I can get me hands on gets given the BKF treatment (I’ll probably find out now it’s well unhealthy for the environment). The greatest breakthrough is using it to get the many layers of indelible felt-tip off those plastic reusable seed labels (just a little on a cloth, a wipe and a good old rinse and it’s gone!) Now you can clearly see what you’re growing!

Mad plant label of the week

artisan plant labels for sale

Handmade plant label made out of a long plastic spoon from my short-lived wine making days. I was getting sick of wasting time collecting fruit to put in a bucket, straining the stuff, bottling it and the year or so’s wait just to get a load of vinegar tasting liquid that would send you mad/or send you to bed with “the whirling pits” and feeling rough as anything the next day. Not good!
