4 h. ago Get to grips with pollination – your garden (and the bees) will thank you for it

GCSE biology a distant memory? Here’s how plants reproduce, and how to encourage themIf you’re growing any plants for fruit, getting your head around pollination is key to ensuring a bountiful harvest.

The Mexico City restaurant where they work looks like most restaurant kitchens but it lacks one key element: there is no bin.Baldío was co-founded by brothers Lucio and Pablo Usobiaga and chef Doug McMaster, best known for his groundbreaking zero-waste spot Silo London. “In my eyes, bins are coffins for things that have been badly designed,” says McMaster. “If there was a trophy for negligence, it would be bin-shaped.” Continue reading...
