Save Energy!

Planting a windbreak on the west and north side of your home will keep your home shady and cool in the summer and block the cold winter wind in wintertime.




Got Weeds?

Use regular household vinegar in a spray bottle to zap pesky weeds. Works best on bright sunny days. It's an organic weed killer that's safe on the environment and you. Good for your wallet too.




Garden pests bothering you?

Plant scented marigolds around your vegetable garden. It will repel destructive insects and keep rabbits from munching on your vegetables.



Re-Use Packing Peanuts

Before you take those packing peanuts out to the trash, consider how useful they may be in your potted plants and raised flower beds. Packing peanuts are light and airy enough to provide drainage in the bottom of a container - and makes the container much lighter and easier to carry or move.



Starting seeds indoors?

Use empty egg cartons or egg shells to plant your seedlings. It's the perfect size container, doesn't cost any money, and you can toss when you're done!
