[youtube= is here but why not start stockpiling some homemade logs for winter. All you will need is some old newspapers, water, a log making machine and a bit of elbow grease.
If you like me have stacks of newspapers which you keep meaning to recycle here is a new way you can put them to good use. Apparently, you can make a paper log from one newspaper that will burn for an hour. The process couldn’t be simpler.
- Tear up old newspapers
- Soak paper in a bucket of water for a few hours until it goes to mush
- Place the mush in the paper log maker
- Fold the arms of the paper maker
- Press firmly until all the water has drained through the filter (this is where the elbow grease comes in)
- Remove the paper log
- Place in a suitable place to dry. If you have space in a greenhouse, this would be ideal.
Check out the log maker available from ecoshop.ie for €31 euro including delivery anywhere in Ireland. They are also available at B&Q.
Check it out and let us know how you get on.
