9 Insanely Easy Hacks Every Gardener Should Know
Every gardener should know these simple tips and tricks, whether you have a yard full of plants or simply a succulent on a windowsill.
Whether you're a seasoned gardening pro with an enviably groomed landscape or a self-proclaimed plant killer with a dismal track record, there are a few easy ways you can up your gardening game. We know you're already savvy enough to seek out ingenious products that save you time, money and energy in the garden, like Roundup's new Sure Shot WandŽ which gets rid of pesky intruders without compromising your precious plants (and doesn't require you bending over!). Here, we share a few nifty gardening hacks you probably don't know.
1. Use a Wine Bottle to Water Your Plants the Easy Way
Yes, your plants can practically water themselves!
2. Make a Soil Scoop From a Milk Jug
Inexpensive, eco-conscious and effective.
3. Use a Shoe Organizer to Store Seeds
With this handy organization system, you can easily keep track of your seeds and when you want to plant them. It's like having a personal assistant for your green thumb.
4. Water Seedlings With a Pump Sprayer
Give them just the right amount of water.
5. Clean Tools With Sand and Vegetable Oil
Fill a five gallon bucket with sand and mix in two quarts of vegetable oil. Insert the tool you want to clean into the bucket, and repeat until it's shiny as new!
6. Use an Old Hose as a Pruning Saw Sheath
Keep sharp edges covered with this inexpensive solution.
7. Sharpen Tools With a Metal File
Making garden tools as good as new couldn't be easier.
8. Stop Soil Loss With Coffee Filters
Prevent soil from escaping through that pesky drainage hole with a coffee filter.
9. Use Plastic Bottles to Save Soil
Rocks are heavy. Empty plastic bottles will just as effectively save soil and provide drainage for your plants. AND you'll be able to easily transport your potted plants.
