To improve your garden without spending a fortune on gardening tools, try utilizing some unconventional objects you already have lying around the house. Be sure to read these tips!
Teacup Garden in a Tin Jar
You can house succulents in old teacups for a more whimsical touch. Put a layer of small pebbles on the bottom of the teacup, fill it with soil, and then plant your succulents.
Baking soda and vinegar to determine the pH of the soil
Baking soda and vinegar can aid in the process of determining the ideal pH for plants in the soil. If the soil forms bubbles when exposed to baking soda, it is acidic; if it forms air bubbles when exposed to vinegar, it is alkaline. Selecting which plants to cultivate becomes a breeze when you follow this procedure.
Toilet paper rolls are used as pouches
Not tossing away used toilet paper rolls is the best way to dispose of them. Simply add soil and seeds to the paper tube; otherwise, discarded rolls of paper will now serve as receptacles for the seeds.
How Soap Shreds Can Preserve Plant Life
Additionally, you can deter garden pests with scented soap. Cut the soap into thin slices and scatter them among the plants. This will keep pests at bay without wreaking havoc on your plants.
Potatoes as a Storage Option
Even if it sounds unbelievable, a single stem of potatoes is the perfect amount. Putting a rose plant in a potato is as simple as drilling a hole in the potato, trimming the stem to about an inch long, and inserting the rose. In a few months, the surprise will come as a nice surprise!
Life-Saving Cinnamon
Both the kitchen and the yard are excellent places to use cinnamon. It helps keep ants away from young plants, shields seedlings from common diseases, and stops fungi from flourishing.
Organic Fertilizer Made from Banana Peels
You can use the banana peels as fertilizer because they are rich in sodium and calcium. Cutting the peel into slices accelerates the absorption of nutrients.
Crosses as Protectors of Plants
Protecting your garden from pests is possible even with plastic forks. Just position the fork handles so that the tines point upwards, and then attach them close to your plant. So far, no wildlife has dared to approach.
Repurposing Citrus Peels for Plant Displays
Additionally, citrus peels are used to hold plants. After you make a couple of holes in the bottom of the peels, stuff them with dirt and seeds. You can use these citrus peels as fertilizers to supply the nutrients that plants need.
Repelling insects with eggshells
Scattering broken eggshells around your plants will deter bugs and other small insects. To prevent rodent infestation, wash the shells well before use.
