About Brother's Make: 

In our little workshop down on the south coast of the UK, we’ve got a four-person strong team, with the unequivocal might of a small, planet-loving army. Each of us are unique and weird in our own way, but what does unite us is a burning passion for all things sustainable. And as cringey as it might sound, we do try to think of ‘The Planet’ a fifth member of the team, so that we can run all of our business decisions ‘through’ them to ensure they’re aligned with our overall mission and reason for being.

All of our products are made from 100% recycled plastic. All the materials that we use are collected by our wonderful friends, family, the local community, businesses and schools. We meticulously clean every piece of plastic that comes to us before hand-sorting it by type and colour. This is by far the longest part of the process, and while it’s by no means the funnest, it is absolutely critical to ensure it is both safe to recycle as well as let the product be recycled again and again in the future. Then comes the fun part of shredding it all down and turning this material into brand new products. And the lovely thing about working with recycled plastic, is that 100% of the waste that is produced can be collected and reused - circular economy, baby.

SUSTAINABLE

Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.

The fibres lie beneath the bark around the woody core. To extract the fibre, the jute bundles are submersed in water and left for a few days until the fibres come loose and are ready for stripping from the stalk, then washed and dried. This is what the ReSpiin baskets are made from. The remaining jute stalks can be used in a similar way to wood pulp, or work well as a renewable source of cooking fuel.

Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable.

The producer of the baskets in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic. They pay a living wage to all employees. They have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means that can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks.

NATURAL

The baskets and bowls are made from both natural jute and coloured jute. The coloured jute is 100% Azo free.

All products are tested safe for food contact.

ReSpiin is a homeware brand that has been designed and developed by Green Pioneer. It was created to showcase stylish recycled and renewable textiles. Their pioneering producers work with  materials that have a story to tell - whether that is about the way a material grows or the journey it has been on.

We LOVE this fertiliser! We have the 20L fertiliser on a circular system - we buy in 20L, decant for you, and then return the container back to the suppliers to be sterilised and reused! Shropshire Seaweed know that you cannot compromise on fertiliser quality - plants are your babies!

They use the finest seaweed form the cleanset Atlantic waters. It is then distilled without heat or chemicals. Just wait to check out the results, the fertiliser does wonders!

• Pure Ascophyllum nodosum from the North Atlantic coast
• Unbeatable for vegetables and fruits. And lawns. Oh, and houseplants
• Grow bigger, greener, higher, fatter. Show up your neighbours
• Certified organic by OFG. Vegan-friendly. No nasties
• Created in rural Shropshire. In a barn. One hundred miles from the sea

About seaweed - how does it work?!

This is taken from Shropshire Seaweed themselves: Seaweeds are some of the quickest growing plants on the planet with some species expanding by several feet in length every day. This growth is driven by the presence of hormones called auxins and cytokinins. Luckily for the gardener or horticulturalist, these active elements can be harnessed for use on practically any plant by using distilled seaweed fertilizer.

Regular application of seaweed fertilizer encourages growth in plants, grass, trees, fruits and vegetables. On top of this, seaweed contains some of the widest variety of macro and micro nutrients in the world which it draws in from its marine environment. These help to provide plants with a range and variety of the nutrients they need to thrive.

Besides the growth stimulants and wide range of nutrients, seaweed has also been shown to have an impact of the health and composition of root zones and boost chlorophyll levels in plants.

How to use the fertiliser: Mix The Shropshire Seaweed Company Organic Fertilizer with water at the rates given below. Please note that 0.1% is equivalent to 1ml of seaweed in 1l of water. Use as a foliar spray or a root drench, whichever suits the job best. And remember, little and often is the way with seaweed.

Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Use within two years of opening for best results.

SEEDS + SEEDLINGS

Soak your seeds in a weak concentration of The Shropshire Seaweed Company Organic Fertilizer and water (0.1%) for up to 12 hours before sowing. This will boost their germination by up to 80%. When transplanting seedings, dip their roots in a stronger seaweed extract solution (0.2%) to help their roots adjust to their new pot. Once the seedlings are three weeks old, they are ready for their first foliar feed. Again, use the 0.2% mix and mist them all over. Using seaweed at these three crucial stages lays the foundation for healthy and strong plants in the long-term.

HYDROPONICS

Hydroponics is a rapidly expanding sector on the British growing landscape - and here too seaweed extract is a very beneficial supplement. The Shropshire Seaweed Company Organic Fertilizer should be added at a rate of 0.05% every seven days. Combine with a two-weekly foliar spray of the crops themselves at a rate of 0.2%

GRAZING

The Shropshire Seaweed Company Organic Fertilizer is a low-cost way of keeping the grass in good condition for your animals. It's also totally organic and offers no threat to the health of horses, cows or sheep. You don't even need to clear them out of the field to apply it. Mix 2l of Shropshire Seaweed per acre (or 5l per hectare) and dilute at a rate of 1% with water. Apply evenly across the area once or twice a year for optimum results.
