Cheap gardening tips
Keep weeds away with straw According to horticulturists and plant professionals, all-natural straw is one of the most effective tools to bring into your garden. You don’t need to buy a whole bale – you can typically buy smaller bundles at your local farm store for upwards of £1.50. Some stores even sell pre-portioned bags made for gardens, which can cost closer to £10 but can be found on the shelves or online.
Call your local garden centre If you are unsure of how to care for your plants, hop on the phone or online and get in touch with your local garden center, rather than resorting to the internet. Nursery employees will have an up-to-the-minute understanding of your area’s conditions, and any plant care tips that are unique to your climate and soil. Calling them with a question or stopping in is totally fine – they want your plants to thrive, too.
Wood to keep slugs out Use a piece of wood to keep the slugs out of your garden. Experts say that they’ll crawl under it for shade. Then you can gather them up and get rid of them.
Save your toilet paper tubes. You can use paper towel tubes and toilet paper tubes in your garden, according to a tip from Family Handyman. Save the tubes and cut them into two-inch lengths before placing them in a waterproof tray. Then simply fill the tubes with potting soil and start planting your seeds. According to the site, when you’re ready to move them into the garden, they can be planted right in the tubes and, because it’s cardboard, they’ll decompose organically.
