If you want to encourage your children to lead a healthy lifestyle, getting them to help you on your plot is a great start. If they've had a hand in growing fruit and vegetables, they may want to help you prepare them in the kitchen too. That's why Little Helper has introduced the FunPod. The safe, standalone platform lifts youngsters to worktop height, so they can help you prepare food while being kept away from hot appliances and sharp objects.

The FunPod has five adjustable height settings to hold walking children between the ages of one and five, a lockable footplate and an anti-tip base to keep the child secure. You can also buy a space-saving worktop, which will slot on top of the unit to give you an additional surface area in the kitchen when your youngsters aren’t around.

Prices for the FunPod start at £99.99, while the worktop costs £34.99. For more information or to order, call 0845 230 1538 or visit littlehelper.co.uk

If you don't fancy braving the winter weather to take your kitchen scraps out to your compost heap, the Little Green Earthlet's caddy could be just what you need. The ventilated basket is great for storing waste like fruit and vegetable peelings, tea bags, coffee grounds and egg shells ready to take out to your bin. The vents on the side allow water to evaporate, so you won't have to deal with any unpleasant smells lingering in your kitchen. The caddy can be used with compostable bin liners, which can be placed on your heap once they're full and will rot down along with the waste.

A 7l (11/2 gal) kitchen caddy costs £5.99. For more information or to order, call 0845 072 4462 or visit earthlets.co.uk

We've got 40 kitchen caddies, worth £5.99 each, to give away.

As many of us know, growing fresh fruit and vegetables is a great step to take if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle. But once you've harvested your crops, it's also important that you prepare them properly to limit your fat intake – if you're using potatoes to make chips for instance, frying isn't a good option.

For a tasty way to cook your vegetables this season, Fussels Fine Foods’ bottled rapeseed oil is worth a try. It’s sown, grown and bottled in Somerset and provides a healthy alternative to olive oil.

Rapeseed oil boasts generous amounts of essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6 and contains lower levels of saturated fats than olive oil, but more poly and monosaturated fats. It can be used in light and deep frying, marinades, salad dressings, or for making dips.

A 5l (1 gal) tin of the rapeseed oil retails at around £20. For more information or to order, call 01373 831 286 or log onto the website fusselsfinefoods.co.uk

As most of us know, the key to growing top quality plants is to make sure the soil is in good condition. An excellent way of improving the ground is to add organic matter like homemade compost to it. The material feeds earthworms living in the soil, and as they tunnel up to eat it they create air spaces which allow oxygen and water through, assisting with the structure of the earth.

Good compost is made from a careful balance of ‘greens’ (such as vegetable peelings and grass clippings) and ‘browns’ (like cardboard). In order to keep your heap warm and manageable, it's a good idea to pile it up in a compost bin. That's why The Urban Garden's galvanised composter is worth a place on your plot. It's in the style of an old-fashioned allotment bin and will look the business on practically any plot. The rotting waste can easily be accessed by sliding up the door at the bottom of the container.

The galvanised composter retails at £45. For more information or to order, call 0845 257 1586 or log onto the website theurbangarden.co.uk

We've got five galvanised composters, worth £45 each, to give away.

If the sound of an earlier harvest of sweeter-tasting veg appeals to you, it's time to familiarise yourself with forcing. The technique involves growing crops in darkness – by covering plants like rhubarb, seakale and chicory with either forcers, bins or pots (with the drainage holes concealed).

Harrod Horticultural's terracotta rhubarb forcer is made from Yorkshire clay and offers great protection for your veg. It's frost proof up to a temperature of -15°C (5°F) and can easily be moved around your plot to where it's needed next.

The terracotta forcers cost £49.95 each. For more information or to order, call 0845 402 5300 or visit the website harrodhorticultural.com

As handy as the likes of spades and forks are out on the plot, sometimes smaller tools are needed for certain gardening jobs. If you're attempting to weed around seedlings, for example, hand tools allow you to do so without damaging them.

LBS Garden Warehouse's collection of Rockfort hand tools contains everything you need to tackle delicate tasks. It includes a hand trowel, mini-rake, garden fork, daisy grubber, 3-prong cultivator, weeder and transplanting trowel. The lightweight tools each have ash handles and stainless steel heads, so wet soil won't stick to the surfaces (unlike ordinary steel).

The seven-piece set costs £27.93. For more information or to order, call 01282 873 370 or visit the website lbsgardenwarehouse.co.uk

We've got nine sets of Rockfort tools, each worth a total of £27.93, to give away.

If you suffer from back problems and find it difficult to bend down to work on your plot, raised beds offer a handy solution. The additional height makes it easier on your joints and it also stops you from walking over the beds and compacting the soil.

Link-a-bord's two-tier raised bed kit is ideal if you're operating an organic garden. Whereas pressure-treated wood carries the risk of leaching chemicals into the soil, the recycled uPVC boards are non-toxic. The two different heights also allow you to experiment with what you grow – the lower level is suitable for crops which favour a shallow soil like lettuces, while deep-rooted vegetables such as peas and beans can be grown on the top tier. And over winter you can use Link-a-bord's canopy support over the beds (along with your own fleece or polythene) to protect your crops from the elements.

The two-tier raised bed kit costs £36, while the canopy support retails at £10. For more information or to order, call 01773 590 566 or visit the website link-a-bord.com

We've got six raised bed kits with canopy supports to give away.
