Greetings!

A lot of garden hacks floating around are more cute than useful. Some just waste your time and your money. But every now and then, you come across a tip that's actually smart, simple, and worth trying.

That's what this issue is about. Real garden fixes that solve real problems using cheap supplies or stuff you already have at home.

Let's dig in.

Be Well,

1. A Dollar Store Basket to Protect Plants

Wire wastebaskets from the dollar store make great cloches to keep rabbits and deer from munching your young plants. Just pin them down with garden stakes and let the plant grow inside it.

2. Wick Watering While You're Away

Going on vacation? Use a cotton string to wick water from a vase to your houseplants. Just make sure the water source sits higher than the plant pot.

3. A Muffin Tin for Perfect Plant Spacing

Before planting seeds, press a muffin tin into your soil to create evenly spaced holes. It's a quick way to give seedlings the room they need without any guesswork.

4. Clean Tools in a Sand Bucket

Keep a bucket of coarse sand mixed with mineral oil by your shed. A few plunges after each use keeps hand tools clean and rust-free.

5. Laundry Bag for Harvesting Veggies

Grab a mesh laundry bag to collect and rinse your vegetables. It's breathable, easy to carry, and you can throw the whole thing in the wash after use.

In Closing...

Gardening doesn't need fancy gear or expensive products. Sometimes the best fixes come from what you already have on hand.
