Kitchen Sponge Salvation
Drenching a plant in too much water is just as bad as dehydrating greenery. When water pools within a pot, roots will start to deteriorate, and a plant will rot. Lining the floor of a pot will ensure that excess water is sucked up while ensuring that a healthy rate of moisture remains. An old kitchen sponge is perfect for this! Alternatively, you could cut holes into the bottom of your plant pot (if it is made from plastic).
Show Your Tools Some Love
A well-maintained garden tool shed is one of the keys to a healthy, happy garden. It doesn’t require much effort to ensure that your tools remain in tiptop shape. Grab a bucket and fill it with pure sand. Now, place your tools inside the sand upright, allowing for easy access. Upon completing a task with a tool, squirt some mineral oil onto it and place it back into the sandy bucket. This oil works wonders on the condition and sharpness of your tools, also helping to save money in the long-term.
