It’s the perfect time of year to get saving the last of the produce glut you may have had. This is us dehydrating herbs but Sonya is a real fan of a dehydrator and dehydrates anything and everything from courgettes and carrots to add to cooking to tomatoes and fruit to eat as they are. Tomato slices give a really flavoursome garnish to savoury dishes such as lasagna while wetter fruit such as berries can be turned into fruit leathers. Apples are delicious as they are cut into rings either finely for crisp snacks or thicker for a chewy texture but they can also be dipped in a bit of cinnamon sugar for an extra treat.

Sonya (pictured) and Andy (photographer), the Saturday garage team, visited The Library of Requirements Watford yesterday with some donations to help them on their journey. This is the great thing about having libraries of things near each other, we can gift on the items we don’t need, maybe we have too many or maybe they aren’t the right fit. We have certainly benefited from Letchworth Garden Shed . Keeping the sharing going.

The super hot weather means the leave have been dropping for a while already but we have the quick answer with our leaf blowers/vacuums. The leaf vacuum even works well on stones, behind strong enough to pick up a leaf but not strong enough to get the stones but if one does accidentally find it’s way up it spits it right back out again. They then macerate the leaves into lovely mulch for the garden or compost.

We had a lovely time Harpenden Sustainability Markets on Sunday, sharing garden games and telling people about the library of things. Lawn darts were very popular and not as easy as they look!

We know this item will be popular, lots of people have been asking, we now have a carpet cleaner! Obviously we had to function test it so Sonya took it home and the second picture is of the dirty water tank (in the bath so it didn’t spill), that was her bedroom carpet 🤮she’s sleeping easier now! It was very easy to use, much like an upright vacuum cleaner, and will be available from our Marshalswick garage site for easier collection.

Love this action shot of the popcorn maker. Apparently such a hit at book club last night the loan has been extended for the weekend! Popcorn is a great low fat snack, and this machine just pops it with air. Add toppings if you want or eat it naked, what you do in your own home is up to you! Great for parties, book club, girls night in, family film night, the reasons to eat popcorn are endless and it’s so easy, and cheap, to make.

The ever popular chocolate fountain is waiting to be hired for parties. It had a bit of a rest over summer so we had to test it to make sure it was still working! The good news is it is and it was delicious. We just used dark chocolate bars and dipped raspberries, strawberries and marshmallows. Popular for parties so if you have a date in mind you can reserve in advance at ShareStAlbans.org. We also have a popcorn maker, ice cream maker, karaoke machine and lots of other things to make the perfect party
