also fay how on earth do you recycle the coffee grounds???

Slugs/carrot root fly don't like them

I recycle them around the plants - just swill out the pot and then dump them on the plants


I also recycle the coffee first off by using a pot full and making the most of a full pot, I make a full pot, drink it gradually over a day or so - if I put it in the fridge it lasts 2-3 days (I heat the coffee in the microwave) and then recycle the grains


apologies if this sounds minging - I'm the only one that drinks coffee and I like real coffee - so I make a pot and once its cold I put it in the fridge til its done:o

Well done on thinking about making bigger quanities of stuff - I knicked the idea originally from 'Mbaz feed your family on £40 for the month'

Batch cooking saves time/energy/stops those takeaway jaunts when you know you've hte sauce made already - you're half way there!

I do love this thread.
