To help prevent brown sugar going hard, put a 3 inch piece of apple peel in the bowl.
This is great, we need to also remember the cost to the environment of all the packaging of food that gets thrown away. I try hard not to overbuy and we compost any leftover fruit and veg peelings etc, plus all those egg boxes, cardboard packages and kitchen roll. I also rarely buy any food which is heavily packaged and this means we put out hardly anything in our rubbish bin. It really does make a difference.
