My old friend Richard has built himself a great little shed from pallet and other ‘skip wood’. Here it is, along with a picture of his allotment in Bristol. Just shows what you can do with a recycling turn of mind!

What a lovely idea for using a redundant ‘phone box- greenhouse on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.

A great idea for dealing with food gluts- a free food sharing cupboard! This Dutch example reminds me of the growth in mini, free libraries in redundant phone boxes around the UK, and in some ways, sadly, Food Banks. Maybe this is another use for an old Telphone box in your area, or perhaps you can put up a ‘cupboard’? I could certainly have stocked one with cucumbers and courgettes this summer!

As today looks like it’s going to be the hottest of the UK year to date (exceeding 30 degrees celsius in some areas), this brilliant project of a ‘self watering system’ by a chap called Guillermo for his polytunnel deserves an airing- it may inspire you to do something similar in your garden?
