25.01.2022 Here's how I use dried basil best in my home: http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/dried-homegrown-bas/ How about you?

23.01.2022 WE ARE IN KAMBARANG SEASON The Noongar seasonal calendar includes six different seasons (Bonar) in a yearly cycle. These are Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djil...ba and Kambarang. Each represents the seasonal changes. The seasons can be long or short and are indicated by what is happening around us rather than by dates on a calendar. KAMBARANG - Season of Birth: Around October-November KAMBARANG is a transformational time of year. During this season, we see an abundance of colours and flowers exploding all around us. The yellows of many of the Acacias continue to abound, along with some of the Banksias and many including the Kangaroo Paw and Orchids. During this time the Balgas will start to flower. One of the most striking displays of flowers to be seen during this season will be the "Mooja", or Australian Christmas Tree (Nuytsia). The bright orange flowers serve to signal the heat is on its way. For the animals, October is also the most likely time of the year that you'll encounter a snake as the reptiles start to awaken from their hibernation and look to make the most of the warm to assist them in getting enough energy to look for food. It's also a time that many young families of birds will be singing out for their parents to feed them. Koolbardies (Magpies) will also be out protecting their nests and their babies. Many things are undergoing transformation with the warm change in the weather. Longer dry periods accompany a definite warming trend. More Info / Reference: www.bom.gov.au Photo of Poster: Sercul

23.01.2022 The last type of plastic we recycle here at Precious Plastic Margaret River is PP (Polypropylene) Polypropylene or PP is a number 5 plastic, has a high melting... point (ranging from 160-166 degree Celsius) that makes it great for containing hot liquids. Lids can be found on Honey or Yogurt pots and microwavable containers. Don't forget to rinse and separate the lids before recycling. #preciousplastic #preciousplastics #realpreciousplastic #margaretriver #australia #preciousplasticaustralia #saveourocean #plasticlids #recycled #recycledplastic #perthrecycling #ppplastic #recycle #reduce #plasticfree #pollution #plasticpollution #plasticocean #plasticrecycling #preciousplasticmovement #preciouspreciouscommunity #perthrecycling #southwest #preciousplasticproject #preciousplasticshredder #environment #nonprofit #nonprofitbusiness #nonprofitofinstagram #sustainableliving

22.01.2022 This was a bag that came with passionfruit in from the supermarket. We just made it into a butterfly net using a pipe cleaner and a stick. Now the kids are outside chasing cabbage white butterflies

18.01.2022 The second type of plastic we recycle here at Precious Plastic Margaret River is LDPE (Low density polyethylene) LDPE is a number 4 plastic which has a low den...sity - to- strength ratio. It is - Light and flexible - Resistant to impact and does not break easily, - Resistant to moisture (waterproof) , - Resistant to chemicals. It can be found in squeezable or flexible condiment bottles. The reason we separate these lids is because they have a different melting point. LDPE has a melting point of 115 Degree Celsius as compared to HDPE which melts at 135 Degree Celsius. Don't forget to rinse and separate the lids before recycling. #preciousplastic #preciousplastics #realpreciousplastic #margaretriver #australia #preciousplasticaustralia #saveourocean #plasticlids #recycled #recycledplastic #perthrecycling #ldpe #recycle #reduce #plasticfree #pollution #plasticpollution #plasticocean #plasticrecycling #preciousplasticmovement #preciouspreciouscommunity #perthrecycling #southwest #preciousplasticproject #preciousplasticshredder #environment #nonprofit #nonprofitbusiness #nonprofitofinstagram #sustainableliving

15.01.2022 This is one of the three plastics we recycle here at Precious Plastic Margaret River. (HDPE) High-Density Polyethylene HDPE is the number 2 plastic which has a... high density-to-strength ratio, therefore making it the ideal plastic for reusable and recyclable bottles. It is sturdy and commonly used in jugs for milk, laundry detergent and shampoo bottles. Its toughness makes it difficult to tear and helps it resist bursting. The reason we separate these lids is because they have a different melting point. HDPE has a melting point of 135 Degree Celsius as compared to LDPE which melts at 115 Degree Celsius. Don't forget to rinse those lids and separate them before recycling. #preciousplastic #preciousplastics #realpreciousplastic #margaretriver #australia #preciousplasticaustralia #saveourocean #plasticlids #recycled #recycledplastic #perthrecycling #hdpe #recycle #reduce #plasticfree #pollution #plasticpollution #plasticocean #plasticrecycling #preciousplasticmovement #preciouspreciouscommunity #perthrecycling #southwest #recyclingproject #preciousplasticshredder #environment #nonprofit #nonprofitbusiness #nonprofitofinstagram #sustainableliving

15.01.2022 Thank you @experience.wa for supporting a circular economy here at Precious Plastic with this post. With so many people and organisations collecting these lid...s for us, it will help our volunteers out so much by removing the foam inserts and rinsing the lids before dropping it off at our collecting points. So when they get to us, the time of this part of the process (which is a long one) gets reduced and it will in turn help us create more products for you. Thank you! #preciousplasticmargaretriver #preciousplasticmap #preciousplastic #realpreciousplastic #margaretriver #australia #preciousplasticaustralia #plasticlids #recycled

07.01.2022 Whilst Slaters do play a role in breaking down organic matter in the garden at this time of year they tend to have a population explosion in our home garden and... they make short work of munching through the stem of any newly planted seedling and this year even the newly emerging asparagus spears . So before planting time I make traps that are bottles with a window cut out filled with sour cream or youghut, you can see from the photo how effective they are. I also cut the bottom out of out pots to create a protective collar around new seedlings, and last but not least another very effective way of controlling numbers of slaters are iron based slug pellet - these pellets are completely safe for pets, birds and the resident bobtails and any unmunched pellets will break down and add iron into the soil.
