July Is A Month To Water Wisely

We may be nearly at the end of July but as the weather has got hotter and drier, but many of us are going off on our Summer holidays just when our plants need us most!

Even at this time of year it’s worth rigging up a water butt, even maybe a few, especially if your meter is watered and you have fast growing, fruiting plants.

Don;t forget thought to apply water to the roots, underneath the foliage early morning or evening and maybe even think about spreading some mulch over the top of it to seal it in.

If you’re looking for a water butt that doesn’t take up too much space then why not think about the Slim Jim Water Butt (100ltr) or the larger, Super Space Saver Water Butt (250 ltr). Both are great products and can be purchased either on their own or as part of a value pack.

Edible Flowers Becoming More Popular Than Ever In Britain

edible flowers, edible plants, grow your own, gyo, recycle works

Did you know that according to one major gardening retailer, sales of edible flowers are up nearly 25 percent year on year and expected to continue to rise?

Apparently, a lot of it can be accredited to celebrity chefs such as Heston Blumenthal who champion the use of edible flowers in their recipes. Here at The Recycle Works we think that there’s nothing better than tucking in to a delicious meal that you’ve grown yourself and also, we’re talking then about ‘food steps’ rather than ‘food miles’ surely.

Sales of edible plants are also on the increase with more of us buying plants such as mint, chillies, tomatoes and strawberries than ever before! So here’s to more of it as Britain as a nation gets more interested in GYO and growing your own becomes a the norm rather than the exception!

You have asked us for Whelping Boxes made from the same unique construction we use for all of our Wooden Gardening Products and here they are. I have used this construction with great success and the best thing was being able to close it up small and put it away until next time. Alternatively purchase one of our Puppy Play Pens and use it as a Whelping Box before fully constructing it as a Puppy Play Pen when the pups are ready.

Made from hard wearing, long lasting FSC wood they will pack away into a very small pack when not in use. Assembly no nails, no screws, just slide the parts together.

Two Sizes:
LARGE overall 120 x 120
STANDARD overall 30 x 90 x 90cm

There is the option to add our version of a ‘Pig Rail’ which will help newly born pups from being crushed.
