Mandy Pellatt of Stroud People caught up with Whiteshill gardening teacher, Helen Pitel, at yesterday’s Spring Gardening event at the Market Tavern, Stroud, hosted by Down to Earth Stroud in conjunction with Transition Stroud. Helen showed us how easy it is to make a completely 100 per cent organic, biodegradable pot which is ideal for planting and bringing on seedlings, using just a sheet of newspaper.
