Composting at Home with Terra-Cotta Pots – A D.I.Y Guide

September 10, 2021

Composting in terra-cotta pots has become very popular in India, where urban dwellers want to create compost in small indoor/outdoor spaces, such as a terrace or balcony. This method takes advantage of the breathability of clay to create a beautiful, stackable compost bin.

I will tell you a secret. This composter defies several basic “rules” of composting and by all rights should not work. But it does! The vessels measure four times smaller than most composting containers; it doesn’t rely on organisms from the soil; and the compost stays much drier than I would typically recommend. I tested this rule-breaking composter in my own kitchen and it really does work. The pots even look attractive, and the terra-cotta provides airflow to the composting material to keep it drier and smelling fresh.

5 Things to Consider When Buying an Electric Bike

September 2, 2021

With natural disasters linked to climate change on the rise, many of us wonder what we can do to lighten our environmental impact. Opting for an electric bike, or e-bike offers a fun, healthy option to reduce your daily carbon dioxide emissions.

E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular for trips normally taken by car, like commuting and running errands. They are also a great alternative to conventional bikes for those who live in hilly terrain or who are prevented from riding due to physical limitations. The e-bike market has expanded to meet this demand with new manufacturers, features, and price points, making them more accessible to the masses.
