Hi all,
Great thread,
like a few of you I managed to get down to just ashes in my bin. I found that wood ash (sometimes called potash) is great for the garden, be careful to spread it out - think sprinkle- as a thick layer will go squishey and horrible.
My parents have a stove and use only wood in it and it produces very little ash, they prob only empty ashes once ever 2 wks. must burn at high temp or something?
Then the little man arrived so I looked into cloth nappies.
I have been using clothies witht he little man for 6 months now and am delighted with them. I'm a bit addicted so have way too many type so didn't really save money on buying nappies but defo do on waste charges. There are some great Irish nappies which I love but if your on a tight budget and looking for a reliable easy to use nappy google pocket nappy on ebay and there are really good chinese versions at qtr price which i have found very reliable and daddy friendly.
