This site started from a bowl of pistachio nut shells.
After we gorged ourselves on their lovely innards, they, the shells, just sat there, looking useful and versatile - but we no idea what we could possibly do with them. Just throwing them on the compost heap seemed a waste - all the effort to make them tough and solid, and here we were just hoping they’d rot back down to mulch before the potatoes needed earthing up.
When we thought about it, we were in the same position with lots of things: leftover bits of food, old household items, empty containers of all shapes and sizes…
And so this site was born.
We aim to add a new item every Monday, Wednesday and Friday - if you have any ideas for items, click on the link below to suggest them to us - all suggestions gratefully received.
