Make the house work harder.
Small repairs, maintenance routines and purchases you only want to make once.
A practical home-and-garden publication · rebuilding
A little more home. A lot less fuss.
For the jobs you keep meaning to do, the tools worth borrowing, and the bits of the garden that never quite behave.
You shouldn't need a contractor's vocabulary to fix a draught, choose a mower or grow something edible in a small patch of ground. We're building sensible guides for real homes, real budgets and the occasional spectacularly unhelpful weather forecast.
Less lawn, more living.
Practical ideas for small gardens, patios, growing spaces and changing seasons.
Useful beats fashionable.
Honest trade-offs. No made-up testing, miracle gadgets or ten pointless must-haves.
The existing website is being rebuilt. The useful stuff comes next.
