@carolannie Peatlands are among the most important carbon sinks worldwide. The UK peatlands are in a bad way and need restoring and protecting. #ClimateAction #CarbonCapture #PeatFreeCompost

Limewash is an interesting material. It's not paint, you just throw a bunch of slaked lime into water and keep it there. The longer you keep it under water, the finer it gets.

When you need it, dredge out a quantity of the stuff with enough liquid so it's like creamy yoghurt.

Best applied with a thick brush, likes to splash everywhere and is caustic enough to etch an aluminium ladder, so protect yourself.

It goes on looking thin but hardens by absorbing atmospheric CO2 (yup, carbon capture, or recapture at least) and turns whiter as it does.

Unlike cement and many modern paints, it is moisture permeable and so lets the log "breathe" and not rot underneath.

It's also antibacterial, so used to be applied regularly in animal barns.
