gardening tips
Old baby gates make great trellis to support cucumbers or other heavy squash. Hammer two 1×2 posts into the ground and stretch the gate between. Use zip ties to attach. At the end of the season it all goes back into storage.
Old front bicycle wheels on top of pole trellis. This requires a pipe, slightly larger in diameter than the wheel hub’s axle (the place the skewer goes through). Drill holes in the pipe 1 inch down. Place the wheel across the end of the pipe. Lash with zip ties. Insert the pipe’s other end well into the ground. Run string down to the ground from all around the rim of the wheel. The string attaches to tent pegs or soil staples. The string will stabilize the wheel on top of the pole and support green beans or other vine.
Use old mini-blind slats for plant labels.
Put cotton balls in the tips of garden gloves to protect your nail. It also keeps the gloves from wearing out at the tips.
Old white sheer window curtains can drape plants to keep out insects or light frosts.
Disposable chops sticks from the last take out make stir sticks for mixing in the garden shed. They also make seed dibbles for sowing or for pricking out seedlings when transplanting.
Old window screen cut to fit the bottom of flower pots keeps soil in. Also used coffee filters will work.
Tuna or cat food cans with ends removed make cut worm barriers. place over the transplants and press into the ground to prevent cutworms from chewing the seedling.
