Do you get pangs of jealousy, watching your neighbor tend to her perfectly landscaped yard? Here are a few tips to help you cultivate your green thumb and keep up with the Joneses!
- Give yourself a leg up by selecting easy-to-grow plants. Talk with an expert from your local nursery to find out what works best for your particular location and lawn.
- Grind up eggshells into a powder and sprinkle them in the garden. The calcium in the shells will give your plants a boost.
- Strategically plant plastic forks, tines up, around your plants to keep pets and critters from trampling your garden.
- When you cook vegetables, save the leftover water and sprinkle it over your plants as fertilizer. The water contains tons of nutrients your garden will thrive on.
- Combine 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup table salt, and 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap to create your own weed killer.
