It provides controlled irrigation by capillary flow to plants planted near it. With thanks to Kathy McDonough Here’s a reason to buy cakes and cookies in the grocery store! Repurpose those grocery store bakery containers into seed starters. Jiffy peat pots are perfect in any of these. Then use them as trays after transplanting the seedlings. With appreciation to Diana O’Hagan Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose Backyard garden tools with a repurposed kitty litter container. A five gallon ‘bucket stool’ with an old garden chair cushion which also makes a good kneeler. Kudos to Diana O’Hagan! Here is Diana O’Hagan’s all round favorite tool. It's a brand new Japanese hori hori garden knife. It can be used for just about anything. Ingenious! Diana’s repurposed one gallon milk jugs with bottom removed, used over tomatoes and pepper plants on cold nights . The cut edge digs nicely into soil. To stop from blowing away, she puts a thin bamboo or pruned twig, 18-24" long, through the top into the soil and uses an old belt to store them together when not in use.

  • Garden Tool Maintenance Is an on Going Function of Good Gardening
    Garden Tool Care Garden tool maintenance is an on going function of good gardening. Just as no one wants to be known; as not being the sharpest tool in the shed, a dull, poorly maintained garden tool will cause you to do more work and disseminates diseases. The lawn mower is in most homes the biggest perpetrator. A dirty lawn mower under carriage disseminates the disease from your last use or from its last lawn. Dull blades will cause the leaf blades of your lawn to be torn instead of being cut cleanly. This slows the healing process; weakens the plant and allows for much easier access to disease. A weakened unhealthy plant is much more susceptible to the ravages of insects. For example: we see healthy actively growing lawns maintaining it's own against the feeding of the white grubs. The lawn when stressed by poor gardening practices or environmental factors succumbs to the voracious appetites of the white grubs. Keep your lawn mower clean of debris and the blades sharpened. The underside of the lawnmower deck should be cleaned regularly to prevent the build up of grass clippings. The chlorophyll will also build up on the cutting edges of the blades. This acts to give a poor cut and spreads diseases right into the open wounds of the leaf blades. Do not forget the treads on the lawn mower's wheels they must be clean too! After removing all of the debris a good wipe down with soapy water is a good idea. Allow the lawn mower to air dry.
