Tip: 1. A quick trick to mince garlic, turn a fork points down on your chopping board and use as a grater!

2. Use a glass jar to shake up your salad dressings! The easiest and quickest way to fully combine the different density liquids, garlic, herbs and spices etc, creating a silky texture. Any left over dressing can easily be stored in the fridge saving waste, perfect for meal prep too!

Reduce Waste: To reduce plastic, when buying supermarket herb pots, repot in fresh soil to give the plant a boost of nutrients and it will last far longer than if just left in the original soil! Easy way to get some simple wholesome gardening in, save money and cut down on plastic!
