Sowing A Wildflower Garden Using Meadowmania Seeds

G3 — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 08:03:41 +0000

Our garden sits on clay soil, so it gets very wet in winter with pooling water, and very dry in Summer. Part of the lawn is very patchy as a result of the conditions, so we’ve decided to sow specialist wildflower seeds to grow a wildflower garden there.

We sourced our seeds from https://meadowmania.co.uk who provide special mixes of seeds for different soil types. We used them before at our previous house which was a chalk soil, and that mix of seeds grew well. We’ve purchased a clay-soil special mix for this house.

Please note, we have not been provided seeds by Meadowmania, we purchased these as they are our supplier of choice. This is a recommendation based upon experience.

Allbirds Tree Runners Unboxing and First Impressions

G3 — Sat, 17 May 2025 07:24:54 +0000

Here I’m unboxing Allbirds Tree Runners, sustainable footwear with a carbon footprint of just 4.52 kg CO2e. Made from eucalyptus tree fibre, sugarcane-based green EVA, castor bean oil-based insole foam and shoe laces made from recycled plastic bottles.

Allbirds aim to replace petroleum-based synthetic materials with natural alternatives whenever they can. If they can’t find suitable alternatives, they look to invent their own, such as SweetFoam®, their shoe sole material derived from the world’s first carbon negative green EVA.

We relied on just using public charging for 2.5 years, and whilst it needed some planning, we made it work. Now we’ve been able to fit a Simpson and Partners EV Charger, after we moved house to somewhere with parking and space to fit a Simpson and Partners Home 7 Plus.
