Green living for the green fingered amongst us
Posted on 5th March 2008Here in ethical superstore land we will be busy working with what we have, which unfortunately is only a few pot plants in our driveway (hey, they still need some love). But for those who have a little more to play with, here are our top ideas for your own little patch of paradise. The Paper Potter (£7.99) makes biodegradable seedling pots from old newspapers. How cool is that? Its kind to your plants (allowing minimal disturbance to their little roots) and kind to your purse as it saves buying expensive sowing and seedling pots http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/nether-wallop/paper-potter/ The Butterfly Habitat (£18.99) provides our flighty friends with their own little house for roosting, hibernating or laying eggs. Made from durable timber/oak, it offers fantastic insulation and an inspection panel to keep an eye on what’s going on! http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/wildlife-world/butterfly-house/ Or you might prefer to go dotty for the Ladybird Tower which offers ladybirds and other insects a natural habitat (£10) http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/wildlife-world/ladybird-insect-tower-(including-pole)/ Inject some fun with a set of four colourful toadstools for your garden. Fantastic for illuminating plants but also charming on their own, these solar powered fungi give up to eight hours of light (£34.99) without any need for wires or batteries.

Constantly recycling water from a hidden reservoir, it operates in direct sunlight via a patented underwater solar panel and pump system. With no wiring it’s easy to install even after a few of those nice cold beers (but probably best installed when sober). http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/smart-solar/whiskey-barrel-garden-ornament/ For those who prefer their drinks soft, there’s a milk urn version too http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/smart-solar/milk-urn-garden-ornament/
Once all that hard work is over, what could be better than a lovely summer salad and a chilled glass of vino outside on the deck? As day turns to dusk, use the Ceramic Solar Sphere Table Lantern (£14.99) to light the way. Available in green or blue, these solar powered lanterns provide eight hours of subtle ambient light in circular or star patterns. http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/smart-solar/ceramic-solar-sphere/ A one-stop-shop for the very best ethical products, www.ethicalsuperstore.com stocks over 3,000 organic, fair-trade and environmentally friendly gifts.
