Top tips for upcycling success
Adam Kirtland joins us at Autumn Fair this year both experience on point and also as the lead of our Bug Hotel Making shop . Known for his upcycling know - how , he apportion his top gratuity !
Gardening has become more and more accessible over the years and something that many once think was n’t for them … . now is ! But , as we all know , horticulture is n’t the cheapest of pursuits or past times , but that does n’t stop us splashing out on beautiful plants , pots and tools from time to time and powerful across BBC Gardener ’s World Autumn Fair there is tonnes on offering to tempt us !
However , if you ’re anything like me then you ’ll also see the opportunity to prove and make something every now and again , and create something really unequaled for your dark-green space . Upcycling has become a real topic of conversation of late and when it comes to gardening then there are a plethora of things you’re able to do to make ‘ treasure from your trash ’ ! But it does n’t arrest there , I ’m also on a delegacy to make things easier and fast , where I can , so we can spend more time actually savour our gardens and make those garden jobs dim-witted and quick ! One of my other passions is all about propagating and take cuttings … . but more on that later !
But where do you begin ? Luckily , I ’m on handwriting to get your fit !
Saving stuff!
For me , this really is about reducing what we waste , what we use and not wasting what we do buy . The idea with this is to think about what you have and how you could make more of it / them . you may also recall of this asReusing – and making the most of we really already may have at home or in the garden . Again , let ’s consider – this clip , what we ’ve get in our shed or service department and even the contents of our recycling bins . Now , before you go binful diving , sample to salve every bit you give out – quit . This is about beingslightlyfrugal , and reaping the payoff that wreak . await at a loo roll from another slant and it becomes a mini industrial plant pot , a Milk River carton becomes a wide range of things and do n’t even get me started on the possibilities with newspaper . All things I ’m verbalize about at this years ’ show !
Make, do, mend!
I ’ve found in a motley of home . Wooden pallets are the prime example ! you’re able to bump them everywhere , and if you get along to one of my talks at the show then I ’m going to tell youexactlywhere you ’ll find some of your own ! And once you break them aside then the theory are really endless ! planter , bug hotels , crates , windowpane boxwood , potting benches … you name it then I ’ve probably made it . But worry not , you do n’t postulate a wide mountain range of tool to get start up – in fact , just a simple few bits and piece that you ’ll already have in your tool chest will likely do ! The biggest joyousness , for me , is when I ’m holding something that I ’ve made that was antecedently something solely dissimilar . That is the best part of all of this – making something , from nothing !
