How to use vegetable cooking water to make your lemon tree bloom and accelerate its growth

The water used to cook vegetables can be reused to benefit lemon trees and other plants, providing small amounts of water-soluble minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as organic matter that complement regular fertilisation. The article explains that, although it is not a miracle fertiliser, this sustainable practice gives a second life to a resource that is often discarded, and should be applied correctly to obtain positive results in the growth and flowering of citrus plants.

"I worry every day": 80-year-old pensioner with cancer sees house rent rise 41% and fears having to leave home

Victor Anderson, an 80-year-old retiree with advanced-stage bowel cancer, saw his rent in Perth, Australia, increase by 41% — from 336 to 475 Australian dollars per week (approximately 886 to 1,252 euros per month) — after the property was no longer covered by the NRAS program, which guaranteed rents at least 20% below market rates. The pensioner tried to negotiate a smaller increase, without success, and now admits to turning to a food bank to reduce expenses and afford the rent, also fearing having to move away from the hospital where he receives treatment. The case arises in a context where more than 4,500 dwellings exited the NRAS in 2026. The article also compares the situation with Portuguese rent update rules, where a 41% increase would not be possible under the legal coefficient of 2.24%, and describes the support available in Portugal for pensioners in housing difficulty.
