Preserve Herbs with Silipot and Nutrigel


For years I had problems with the potted herbs I bought in supermarkets. They dried, withered and died within a day or two.  But a life prolonging combination of Nutrigel and Silipot can make them last for over a month. Yippee!

1. Add Nutrigel to water. 1/3 of a packet is enough.

Add Nutrigel to water

Silipot and Koriander

Fantastic! I have a new home for my herbs. I hate it when I come home from the supermarket and never have anywhere to put the herbs I have bought. I just forget about them and the next day they are dead. So the Silipot is a lifesaver!

Finally! Our fantastic and fabulously versatile Silipot has arrived.

It’s designed to hold anything and everything from flowers to herbs. It can even double as a dishcloth and brush basket to brighten up the drudgery of washing up.

Now I just need to find the right colours.
