Gardening Tricks You Didn't Know (Maybe)

[icyfroth]

1. Make biodegradable planters out of toilet paper rolls

Recycle your old toilet paper rolls when you are finished with using them. Then convert them into pot plants, which is also great for holding moisture!

2. Start planting your seeds in a lemon rind

 Just poke a hole in the bottom of the peel for drainage, fill with potting soil, then add two seeds and some water. The peels will compost directly into the soil to nourish the plants as they grow.

Don't plant that cute potted Norfolk Island Christmas Tree in the garden, unless you live on acres. Same goes for a Ficus.

Yep, me to a TTTTTT.

Got that because I posted I was studying to be a 'multilingual' Customer Service Person.

Even studying English - as most seem to have great difficulty with that one.

Multilingual = 'alluring'.

While you are being impressed thought I would show you my new shoes.

I thought I would try the crushed eggshell hint. Planted some seedlings and surrounded them with eggshells I saved up. Next day I found the seedlings dug up and eggshells scattered. Turns out the mini poodle I look after weekdays decided the eggshells might taste good. 😞

Another quick tip.

If you are tired of getting dirty nails, run your fingers along a soft bar of soap so you get a piece of soap under your fingernails.

Then do your gardening and watch how easy it is to clean your hands n fingernails afterwards.
