For anybody who hasn't filled their loo rolls with compost yet, I've just discovered that my Jam Funnel from Lakeland is absolutely ideal for the purpose. The funnel hole is exactly the same diameter as the loo role opening, so hopefully this year I'll end up filling just the rolls and not dumping most of the compost into the tray which holds them. Yes, I will be washing it thoroughly before I make the next batch of preserves!

Dear Primrose, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.

ADVERT.
High quality Lakeland jam funnels, also good for the filling of Loo rolls. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Well all those different baskets from discarded freezers and dishwashers etc are great for storing and washing / drainning veg on the plot, gathering produce, I hang one on my shed wall for the onions etc. Also great for storing stuff in etc.

Oh now where else do I start, basically if you have an allotment and a shed on it, most things get a second use, mugs, spoons, kitchen knifes, tupperware and lots of stuff......

If I am not on the plot, I am not happy.........
