Compost production is not complicated, and you can easily reuse up to 40% of your household waste. For a family house with a garden, compost should be a natural thing - if you follow a few rules, the compost will not smell or be a nuisance in any way, but you can compost with the help of a closed vermicomposter, for example, in a block of flats. Starting composting is easy - just fence off a suitable piece of land or buy a compost bin and find out what you can compost and in what proportion.

Your shading elements deserve care after a summer season of sun, dust, and rain. Correct autumn maintenance is not rocket science. It only takes a little while, and ensures that your blinds will not grind, the awning will not become mouldy, and your pergola will survive the winter intact. Our guide will show you simple steps to extend the lifespan of your shading elements and prevent costly repairs.

Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Grandma is sick, camp is not held, and the vacation deal fell through.

Children often remember the days off when they can just loiter with no plan.

Mushrooms have had ideal growing conditions over the last few weeks: thanks to the heat and humidity, almost everyone brings full baskets from the woods. If you do not manage to eat the crop fresh, there are several ways to stock the mushrooms to last you through the winter or even until next summer: from the traditional ones in the form of dried slices, to freezing and preserving, to original products, such as the mushroom purée or cracklings.
