đą 15 Cunning Garden Hacks Every Gardener Should Know
Here are 15 cunning garden hacks that will save you time, money, and frustration â and make your plants thrive like never before!
1. Use Coffee Grounds as Fertilizer
Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, making them a perfect (and free) soil amendment for acid-loving plants like tomatoes, roses, and blueberries. Just sprinkle used grounds around your plants for a slow nutrient boost.
2. Eggshells for Pest Control and Calcium
3. Cinnamon to Stop Fungus and Damping Off
Sprinkle cinnamon powder on seedling soil to prevent fungal infections like damping off, which can kill young sprouts.
4. DIY Drip Irrigation with Plastic Bottles
Poke small holes in an empty plastic water bottle, bury it next to your plant, and fill it with water. It slowly releases moisture straight to the rootsâperfect for hot days or when you’re away.
5. Banana Peel Boost
6. Toilet Paper Rolls for Seed Starters
Cut toilet paper rolls in half, fill with soil, and plant seeds. Once seedlings sprout, plant the entire rollâit’s biodegradable and easy on roots.
7. Epsom Salt for Greener Leaves
8. Forks in the Soil = Animal Deterrent
Stick plastic forks into the soil with the tines facing up to keep cats, raccoons, and squirrels from digging in your garden beds.
9. Milk Jug Mini Greenhouses
10. Boiling Water for Weed Control
Pour boiling water directly on weeds growing in cracks or gravel paths. It kills them instantly without chemicals.
