Best home garden hacks - zero doller

home garden hacks 



Walk to any garden center and you will find gadgets and gizmos for almost outdoor diseases. But did you know that the solution to many backyard problems can be kept in the garage or hidden in your recycling bin? Whether your garden suffers from bad soil, dry and arid environments, cold snow, or more - there is an almost free solution. Read on to find out our favorite garden hacks.


DIY is a drip irrigation system


Keeping the plants adequately hydrated throughout the summer dog days is an almost full-time job. That’s where this trick lends itself. Designed to mimic the drip irrigation system, it delivers water directly to the plant roots using anything other than a plastic bottle and orphan socks. Drill holes in the side, and then stuff a sock in it - the fabric will retain water and gently distribute it to the plants. Unscrew the cap and fill the bottle when the water is ready to pour.


Replace plants easily


Here's a trick to changing garden plantings without lifting a twig. Place plastic pots directly on landscaping beds. Then, drop the seasonal plants — pot and everything — right into the hole. When the flowers fade or the season changes, remove the old pot and switch to the new plant. Choose pots with adequate drainage holes. To see your temporary plant next to perennial plants, cover the beds with a layer of mulch.


Kill the grass with the card



To turn the lawn into a low-maintenance planting bed, you do not have to break the spade on your back. Cover the grass with cardboard and stack the sheets together like singles. Next, place about four to six inches of compost or mulch on top of the cover. Pour water until the area is compressed. Then wait. In two months, the land will take up the soil structure and nutrients needed to retain edible or ornamental crops of your choice.


Benefit from companion gardening


Did you know that plants have best friends? Many plants benefit their neighbors in different ways. For example, strawberries are more palatable when grown near dry thyme and corn. Planting a bright marigold border around the squash plants will encourage squash pests to swallow your crop.


Gardening in a bag


Do not call this lazy garden - it will save a genius time! By growing the vegetable garden straight out of a bag, you will eliminate the need for poor soil plowing and upgrading. Not only that, it can save you time weeding regularly. This trick works for shallow-rooted plants like lettuce and tomatoes. For plants with deep root systems, choose raised beds or deep containers.


Put a cork in it



Sowing your seeds is now easy! Instead of digging holes individually throughout your garden bed, enlist the help of recycled materials to turn the garden rack into a temporary planter. Press the old wine cork into each end so it stays in until your holes are deep, then push the tool into the dirt. When you pull it back up, you will have holes ready for seeds.


Protect plants from pests


If you do not want to use chemical sprays, avoiding caterpillars and insect ripening fruits can be a daunting task. Once the fruit is set, slip the ziplock bag over the apple or pear to preserve the fruit quickly, easily, and cheaply. Wrap it around the spine as much as you can, and then let it stay that way. When the fruit grows and turns downwards, the bag will go with it, and once it is ripe everything can be harvested flawlessly.

Make your own seed tape


Seed tape is a convenient way to put down small seeds like carrots quickly and neatly. It's expensive to buy, but DIY is easy to do. Roll out some toilet paper and pour water from a spray bottle. Place your seeds in a row at the right distances from each other. Then fold one-third of the paper over the seeds and cover it so that it sticks. Fold the opposite third over to finish the job and fog again. Roll it in a toilet paper towel and store it until you are ready to plant.


Space out seeds


Place the vegetable seeds evenly and quickly using a muffin tin to create planting holes. To create sluggishness in the soil, it is easy to push the tin to the ground. Then drop the seeds inside, and cover them with soil and water.


Protect plants with plastic forks


Plastic forks are not just for catching a bite at your family barbecue; They are also great for the garden. If you find stray cats, rabbits, or rats in your yard, stick some forks on the floor around their favorite hangout. Sharp tines will prevent most small animals and protect young plants from harmful pathways.

Fertilize with straw bale


If you need a cheap and easy replacement for the soil, do not look for anything other than straw. Costs only $ 2, a straw bale provides the plant with the nutrients it needs when it decomposes. This is incredibly low maintenance. Almost all weed-resistant, absorbent bales require less watering than soil and can successfully grow all kinds of summer options, from tomatoes to strawberries.


Reuse your water



Home gardeners are paying more attention to safety due to drought and water scarcity. Use your resources wisely — reduce your water bills! —Use them as much as you can. For example, the water you use to boil eggs or rinse vegetables is ideal for refreshing outdoor plants. Allow warm water to cool to room temperature before using it on your plants.


Create a natural trellis


Many vegetable plants such as beans and cucumbers would do well to have a truss to support them when growing. You can create a crossbar on natural materials on your property without spending a single penny. Use other materials such as pruned trees or saplings. Place objects on the floor in the form of a grid, fan, or ladder. Then, tie them together with sturdy rope at the point where they cross. Your garden waste will be smaller and your plants will be happier. And you will not have to spend time or money shopping for anything.

Gardening Plants you can walk on

These tough little floor coverings can withstand occasional trampling Mulching the 3 acres of display and test gardens in my perennial nursery turned out to be expensive and time-consuming, so I decided to investigate ground covers that eliminated the need for mulch. As I experimented with several ground covers to complement my perennials and shrubs, I was struck by the plants that were strong enough to withstand the foot traffic of people strolling through my gardens and trampling pets. It was clear which ones were hardy enough to withstand the heat and humidity we experience each summer, stay evergreen, and display beautiful flowers for months. Here are my favorites. 1.
