I always prefer to eat pickles with food because it makes the food delicious and spicy. I will try to make pickle at home and will follow these helpful guidelines. Thanks.
In our quest to reduce as much waste in our lives as we can, we’re starting a worm farm. Check out our composting tips to keep your worms happy.

Dorothy Healy says:I left some of the wool liner on our verandah. The birds are now coming every day to take it to make nests for the spring. How cool is that?!
Greer says:This made our day Dorothy! Very cool indeed.
Diane says:I have left some out for a magpie pair because I saw them pulling out the coconut coir from my hanging baskets. Hope they make use of it.
Juliette Russell says:Hi I have been using my wool liner as a garden weed mat it seems to work well and degrades at the same rate as the bark I put on top.
Also want to comment that i am generally not happy about the recycling of Hello fresh packaging. Previously we were able to recycle the boxes and freezer packs. Happy to use the wool in the garden but there is only a limited amount you can use. I think you need to relook at your packaging.
Diane Coghlan says:The wool insulation makes a great top layer on my worm farm. It retains plenty of moisture so keeps the worms damp and insulated from temperature extremes. I will be interested to see if, when it rots down, the worms use it.
Lynne says:Another use for the wool insulation is to line wire hanging baskets.Works a treat.
Stewart says:Love the comments about the wool liners.
My experience with a kitchen compost bin is to ensure it is enamelled. This seems to prevent odours for some reason. We use a repurposed kitchen fat collector.
Sonja says:I haven’t done it yet but I’m going to use the wool liner to put strawberry plants in – sure beats the black plastic I see commercial growers using!
Deborah says:Did you know that other natural fibres can be composted? Cotton, wool, silk, bamboo etc. I always put my old cotton undies and hubby’s work shorts in the worm farm. All that is left behind are the synthetic parts i.e. elastic, stitching (fully intact), zips, buttons etc. I put them in whole, but if composting in a compost heap they should be cut into small pieces.
Dale Chapple says:Worm farm is easy and saves a lot of rubbish. Creates good soil and liquid natural fertiliser.
Very information post about composting! Yes I agree that “composting is great for the herb garden or other veggies”
Kim says:I’m curious to know how long you expect it to take for the insulation to break down?
Michael says:Hi Your Cool Pouch with corn icon You say these pouches are made from plant based and renewable materials. Can I place them in my worm farm, if so why aren’t they in the list above
This recipe will make me a decent cook of scrambled eggs, thankyou.
