Not only do we champion the low-cost lifestyle here at Blagger; we also like the idea of easy income, which is why we were interested to read strategies for prize-winning in the latest edition of The Week. Quoting from The Guardian, it has handy hints for getting onto TV quiz shows: ‘Remember personality is what counts at auditions.

A little premature perhaps, but Compost Guide is an excellent source of information on - not surprisingly - composting your biodegradable home waste. I’m linking to it here for future reference, as it includes an excellent table of the products you can put in your home compost bin, and what kind of beneficial effects they will have on the finished product.

Websites aren’t as fun to read as papers, but they are greener. So, get the best of both worlds with G24. It’s five condensed versions of the Guardian, updated throughout the day, available to download for free as a PDF. Best of all, they have the same look and feel as the printed paper itself.

After the chickens’ colds started to spread, we decided it was time to turn to more drastic measures to clear things up.
 The chickens look like they’re getting bored, so we’re working hard to brighten up their coop and give them some intellectual stimulation.
 Intelliplug is the simplest way to control all of your devices with just a single button… entirely passively. Put one in your socket and you should ever again see a standby light in your home.
Looking over the plot at the weekend, it occurred to us that we have hardly bought any vegetables this summer. Considering that one of us is a vegetarian, that’s not bad going.
 This rich, decadent dessert is the perfect ending to any meal. And, with only three ingredients, they are quick and easy to make.
Gerry has caught a cold, and she’s strutting around the coop doing teeny little sneezes.
 With the family coming around for the weekend, we wanted to feed them as much as possible using produce from the garden. Clearly a big salad was called for.
 This smart, rugged solar radio has a clever trick up its sleeve, but despite stamina few competitors can match, it’s still not perfect.
 The man we have to thank for naming our chickens died last week. John Esmonde part created Tom and Barbara Good, and their neighbours Margot and Gerry Leadbetter in the self-sufficiency TV comedy, The Good Life.
