Back To The Good Life

This week we're discussing greener ways to clean. Did you know that DIY green cleaning products are made up of usually 3 main core products? Find out what they are, how to use them, and what else we're doing to minimise our impact on the planet when it comes to cleaning this spring!

There's been a big decline in wildlife in recent years, and we're all guilty of planting plants that are good for us only or setting up our gardens without much thought for the wildlife.

In this episode we talk about how we're encouraging wildlife into our garden. From newts to frogs to hedgehogs, and especially pollinators!

Spring is the perfect time to get outside and learn about foraging for wild edibles. It's fun, easy, and you can find wild foods to eat all year round!

In this episode we discuss how we love looking for mushrooms, eating some of the things we've found, and even using wild plants for medicinal purposes.

NOTE: THIS EPISODE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE ADVICE, MERELY AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. DO NOT EAT OR USE PLANTS MEDICINALLY IF YOU CAN NOT IDENTIFY THEM PROPERLY.

We're big fans of trying to shop local and support small businesses. We believe this is good for the environment, good for society, and good for us too.

Join us this week as we discuss where we are doing our local shopping, and how we have to decide on what's important to us the most.

We’re planning to do a few projects around our home this year, and they all have the planet in mind. We want to make sure we’re not adding too much carbon to the atmosphere, and that we’re not using up natural resources.

Join us in episode 5 as we discuss a DIY potato planter, encouraging the bees into the garden, and a high-tech way to save money (and the planet) when it comes to our heating and energy usage!

Plastic is a waste that we produce on a daily basis. The landfills are filling up, and it's affecting the world's wildlife. The solution to this problem is not an easy one, but in this episode, we’ll be exploring how we are rescuing our waste as a household and what this is doing to reduce our carbon footprint.

We speak to you about the brilliant services we use daily, services such as Oddbox, Milk and More, and Fill, and how creating a closed-loop system is a step in the right direction that everyone can do.

Thousands of people are creating a new, more sustainable life for themselves this winter, will you be one of them?

The world is changing and the way we live is changing with it. We are seeing more and more people choosing to be self-sufficient, self-reliant, and self-employed.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about how we are trying our hand at self-sufficiency through growing our own food, looking at our renewable energy options, and staying as independent from big corporations as possible.

This episode is about the importance of self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and the need to work towards a different type of future.

How easy it is to live self-sufficiently throughout the year with a self-sufficient homestead? We’re hoping to find out!
