Rural Extension with Africa's Poor - p.3. ReUsing Tyres

It is incredible how people adjust and transform the material close to them to their basic needs!

I think i will need one of these for my summer house, especcially in spring when I try to plant in my garden!

Or maybe I could use the whole tyre as a plant container ...

or even better

to create a small playground for the kids!

Tomato Summer !

Summer in Greece is totally amazing!

Nature and a great climate that give a great boost to every cultivation of veggies and fruits.

Tomato - The Queen of the Greek Summer!

Lots of tomatoes and herbs, visiting friends for a glass of wine in evenings or making big family lunches on Sundays, well there is a way to combine these two in a gift !

Found a few kilos of ripe tomatoes in a very good price

( almost 0.50 euro/kg but i had to take 3-4 kilos )

peeled their skin

( you know, put them in a hot water for 1 min approx.

and then directly to cold, its so easy to peel off their skin after that!)

and cooked slightly as a tomato sause with garlic, basil, thyme, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt!

Put the sauce in a sterilised vase,

a few drops of olive oil ( it works as a concervative )

close it and then turn it upside-down!

The rest is just imagination and love <3 !

Use whatever you have as a rapping paper

( I used a piece of a coffee sack )

ribbons, and some herbs for decoration and aroma !

et voila !

Rural Extension with Africa's Poor - p.2. ReUsing Bottles Tops
