Be Nice To Bees – A Plea From Friends of the Earth

Friends of the Earth, recycle works, save bees, the recycleworks

British bees do a huge amount for wildlife, our food supply and the economy.

And last week thousands of you did a huge amount for bees. 10,000 packets of bee-friendly seeds were snapped up in just 24 hours, creating many new habitats for bees across Britain.

Even if you missed out on the free seeds you can still take action to help bees by calling for a National Bee Action Plan to reverse their decline.

Changes to town planning, farming and our use of pesticides could prevent even more bee species from becoming extinct. The Prime Minister needs a plan to make these changes now.

Together we can save British bees,

PS. We already caught the attention of the Deputy PM, Nick Clegg with our stunt in London.

He said “anyone who’s been on the South Bank this morning will have seen Friends of the Earth have turned it into a wildflower meadow to publicise the importance of bees to UK GDP”.

National Gardening Week

Let Us Help You Get Growing….. 

National Gardening Week has been launched by the RHS to get the nation growing.

Thousands of people across the country have come together and are getting involved to enjoy, share and celebrate everything about gardens and gardening.

Communities and organisations have pulled out all the stops to host garden open days, garden parties, quizzes, plant swaps and a wealth of other activities to share advice or lend helping hands to friends, neighbours and the local community.

What will you be doing to get growing?

If your greenhouse has a paved floor, or if you’re planning on growing outdoors on your patio, then grow bags are a must.  Grow Bags are so simple to use, simply plump it up like a pillow, cut crosses in the top and fold back the plastic to make squares that you can plant in to.

Some people like to use Grow Rings too for their tomato plants as they help not only watering with feeding but also help to encourage more roots which in turn increases the yield.

Another product that our customers love is Seaweed Extract – Farmers around the world use it to increase crop yield and quality. They consider the cost of applying it is a sensible investment! In the garden, the same is true; SM3 will give you healthier plants and more food on the table at harvest time.  There’s a lot of science and research behind how it works – it’s a natural plant growth stimulant that encourages growth.
