How to use Bokashi bran in your compost bin

When you start with an empty Bokashi compost bin, you start by sprinkling a thin layer of Bokashi bran at the bottom. Then you add kitchen waste little by little. Every time you put new food scraps in the container, you again spread an even layer of bran on top and lightly press the waste down before closing the lid tightly.

The combination of bran and food scraps ensures optimal conditions for fermentation. After a few weeks, you will have a valuable pre-compost that you can mix with soil, after which it is quickly transformed into nutrient-rich soil for your plants.

One kilo of Bokashi bran is typically enough for approximately 2-3 months of normal use of the compost bin.

Storage

Bokashi bran is stored at room temperature, without exposure to direct sunlight.

Glass bowl with lid

Glass is the cleanest material in which you can store your food.

It is without hormone-disrupting substances and other chemicals that can seep into your food.

And it is extremely practical, as you can both freeze your food in it and reheat it in the microwave - without moving the food.

However, the food must thaw before you heat it, as the bowl cannot withstand excessively large temperature differences.

Glass also gives a good overview of your food and your fridge. You can see through it and thus quickly get an overview of the contents of your fridge or freezer and avoid food waste.

The plastic lids are food-grade and made of BPA-free plastic.

Vegan Bee's Wrap

1 roll vegan Bee's Wrap

The roll measures 35.5 x 132 cm

What is Bee's Wrap in the vegan version?

Bee's Wrap is a super natural alternative to cling film, aluminum foil and other disposable products. Because Bee's Wrap can, in many ways, the same as plastic, it can keep your food fresh. It is both good for your health and good for the environment.

Bee's Wrap Vegan consists of a piece of GOTS certified organic cotton with candelilla wax, organic coconut oil and resin.

The wrap is warmed with the hands and used to wrap around, for example, cheese, rye bread, sandwiches or cut fruit and vegetables. You can also use Bee's Wrap to put over bowls, pie tins or whatever you need to protect.

Maintaining your Bee's Wrap Vegan

Clean your Bee's Wrap under the cold or lukewarm tap. Possibly with a little mild detergent if necessary.

Wipe the wrap dry and use it again.

Do not use Bee's Wrap for meat, as meat may contain bacteria that cannot be removed with cool water.

A Vegan Bee's Wrap can last approx. 1 year or more, depending on use, and then can be tossed in the compost bin. It is a 100% biodegradable product.

Be careful not to put your wraps close to heat sources (oven, dishwasher, etc.) as the wax can melt.

What makes this washing-up gel special?

• Effective already from 40 °C
  Perfect for modern dishwashers and energy-saving programs.

• Natural and vegan ingredients
  Contains no animal substances and is based on plant extracts and minerals.

• Mild and clean scent
  Organic orange oil gives a natural and pleasant citrus scent without synthetic fragrances.

• Biodegradable and gentle on the environment
  The washing-up gel breaks down easily in nature and is certified with Ecogarantie – one of the most demanding environmental certifications in Europe.

• Without phosphates, enzymes or petrochemicals
  Safe for you, your dishes and your drains.

Use

1. Pour 25 ml (approx. ¾ cap) into the soap drawer.
2. For extra dirty dishes, you can use a full capful.
3. Add any 1 tablespoon of citric acid to remove limescale in the machine.
4. For optimal deodorization, you can add baking soda to the bottom of the machine.

Why is the dishwashing gel not made from 100% natural ingredients?
The gel currently contains a chelating agent that helps soften the water and remove other unwanted compounds. 85% of this substance is of natural origin and it is chemically modified to be as effective as possible.

The result is that in addition to Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions (the main compounds that cause water hardness) it can also remove Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ ions. These ions impair the appearance, taste, smell and color of the water (iron gives the water a rusty colour, manganese makes it brown or even black). The chelating agent is completely degradable and replaces a less effective EDDS agent.

What is the recommended water temperature?
If you use enzyme-free machine detergents - such as those from TIERRA VERDE - you must set the temperature to at least 40 °C.

The same principle applies to dishwashers and washing machines: We consider the environmental impact of raising the temperature to be significantly more acceptable than the impact by using synthetic and toxic agents. The financial cost of raising the temperature has been studied using a washing machine, where a temperature increase of 10°C increases the cost by 30 cents per load. wash.

Ingredients

• <15% soap nut extract
• Chelating agent (GLDA)
• Sodium citrate
• Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
• Sodium carbonate (washing soda)
• Glycerol
• Xanthan gum
• <5% non-ionic surfactants
• Organic orange oil (Citrus sinensis)
• D-limonene (naturally occurring in orange peel)

Resource awareness & health in focus
Tierra Verde consciously chooses ingredients and packaging that try to protect both health and the environment. The bottle is made from recyclable material, and the product does not contain microplastics, synthetic perfume, enzymes or petrochemicals.

Odds & Ends

Colorful home textiles – made from surplus materials from industry

When factories dye yarn for textile production, an extra stock is often made just in case – but much of this yarn ends up unused. Odds & Ends textiles are designed to make full use of these scraps and create endless, unexpected color combinations.

Collections & Colors

Odds & Ends collections are produced in batches. The factory collects surplus materials and uses these colors to create a new design, which is then put into production. The precise design is just the starting point – during production, some of the residual materials are used up and replaced with similar colors.

Therefore, the images you see are an indicative representation of how the textiles look, but there will be slight variations within each batch.

Colours may vary

As these textiles are produced in small batches from surplus materials, colors may vary. However, the general color palette is always preserved, so that textiles within the same color scale can be easily combined. The product you receive may be identical to or have slight variations compared to the images on this page. The duo set consists of one textile in primarily cold tones and one in primarily warm tones.

Washing and care instructions

All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 30°C in the washing machine's cotton program together with similar colours. To preserve the intensity of the colors, an organic detergent is recommended for colored washing.

To extend the life of the textiles, air drying is recommended, but terrycloth products such as soft towels – especially those with a velor surface – may benefit from an occasional tumble dryer on medium heat to soften the fibers without the use of chemical fabric softeners.

If you live in an area with chalky water, you can soften both your textiles and washing machine by adding citric acid or vinegar to the rinse cycle from time to time.

Loose Threads

This product is woven with terry loops to ensure a soft and absorbent quality. Newly woven terry loops can be more prone to loose threads, so be careful with jewelry when first worn.

If a thread should come loose, never pull it! Carefully cut it off with sharp scissors – this will prevent further loose threads and will not affect the woven structure of the textiles. After the first few washes, the fibers will become more resistant to snags.

Activated carbon is a form of carbon that undergoes a special activation process that makes it extremely porous. This significantly increases the surface area of ??the coal, making it very effective at absorbing various pollutants. Activated carbon can attract and bind to harmful chemicals, toxins and unwanted odors. It is widely used in water filtration systems and other healthcare products due to its ability to purify and improve water quality. Kishu Binchotan, a traditional Japanese form of activated charcoal, is specially designed to purify drinking water and add beneficial minerals. This makes it a natural choice for those who want cleaner and healthier water without using disposable plastic filters.

Benefits of Kishu Binchotan activated carbon

1. Natural choice: Kishu Binchotan is a natural, recyclable product that lasts for several months and can then be recycled into the soil.
   
2. Improved water quality: In addition to filtering water, the charcoal stick adds healthy minerals, which make the water both tasty and more beneficial for health.
   
3. Easy to use: Put the charcoal stick in water and after a few hours you have clean drinking water. The stick can be used again and again.
   
4. Natural filtration without chemicals: The carbon stick effectively removes impurities without adding chemicals or plastic waste.
   

This size has an average weight of 7-10 gr. and measures 10-12 cm. and 0.5-1 cm.

This carbon rod cleans 1/2 liter water of approx. 4 hoursand also fits perfectly into a drinking bottle.

When you receive your charcoal stick, do the following:

• Rinse the charcoal thoroughly in water (without soap)
• Put the activated charcoal in a pan of cold water, heat it up and boil for ten minutes. It cleans the charcoal and activates the cleaning processes.
• Take the charcoal out of the pot and let it cool down
• Put the charcoal in a jug or other container and pour water over it
• After six hours the water is cleaned and ready for use
• Refill as much as you want
• Boil the charcoal rod approx. 1 time per month according to the above procedure. It will reactivate the charcoal and remove the substances that the charcoal has taken up. Write it down if necessary. in your calendar so you remember it.

The coal can last for at least 90 days - and often much more. You will be able to taste when you need to replace the charcoal.

The charcoal rods may break during the cooking process. It has no effect on the effect of the charcoal.

Once your activated charcoal has served its water purification purpose, you can use it as an air purifier. It is super effective for cleaning the air indoors and ensuring good air humidity.

You can also use it to remove odors from shoes, sports bags or the fridge.

When you can't find more uses for the charcoal stick, you can simply throw it in the compost bin or in the flower bed. It's super effective as fertilizer too :-)
