  • I. If you’re new to gardening and forgot to pick up a watering can when you purchased your first plants, there’s no need to panic. You can fashion a temporary watering can using a milk jug by simply poking holes in the lid using needles! This will allow water to flow freely from it.

  • II. It can be tough to drive pests away from your beloved garden, but you stand a good fighting chance if you enlist the assistance of some eggshells. Coarsely crush the eggshells and sprinkle them onto the soil around your plants. Soft-bodied pests such as slugs and snails that chew up precious leaves won’t risk getting poked by the sharp edges of the shells.

  • III. For gardeners, going on vacation can be a little stressful because it means you will have to leave your plants unwatered for days. Never fear! With this hack, you can enjoy your trip worry-free because your plants will easily stay hydrated for days! Just roll up some paper towels very tightly and place one end in a glass of water. The rest of the paper towel should be laid across the soil so that it remains damp while you’re away.

  • IV. Broke your pot? Don’t throw it away just yet! It still has some use left in it. Add some zest to your garden by labeling your plants with pieces from broken pots. Just take some pot shards and write the names of your plants using a permanent marker to give your garden that beautiful edge.

  • VI. No pot? No problem! To start your seeds, all you need is half an orange peel! Poke a hole in the bottom of the peel for drainage, fill it with soil, then plant the seed. Sprinkle it with a little bit of water every day. Once the seed is ready to be transplanted into a bigger area, you may plant it directly in the garden with the peel intact. As the peel decomposes, it nourishes the plant further.
