Although I think it is probably true that it is not necessarily better for you. I think in some ways this misses the point though. Organic farming is good because it looks after the land and looks after wildlife as I ...

New recycling system in Bournemouth
Our new recycling system is apparently now up and running - the main problem for me at the moment is I keep forgetting to put the bins out and that the 'big' bin that is used for the recycled stuff is almost full already and we haven't even put it out yet.
