Tis the season! :bliss:
Share your gardening secrets, tips, questions, pictures, whatever...
A few things I thought of while picking leaves out of the landscaping this afternoon.............
Use boiling water to kill weeds in sidewalk/street/pavement cracks..... no cost, no killer chemicals
I use a narrow rake, like for crafts/decorating, from the Dollar Store, to get leaves out from inbetween the landscaping plants.
Instead of spending money on LOTS of little accent plants, i get a bigger one and take cuttings from it,..... and then cuttings from those..... takes longer, but over the season, everything fills out beautifully... sweet potato vine is GREAT for this... No need to even put the cuttings in water first.... straight into the dirt
Well, then there's the "bucket 'o death"... VERY effective trick (not very cookiemom-ish, I admit) for getting rid of unwanted chipmunks... well, i'll post that if anyone wants :redface:
Speaking of gardening... Happy Spring, Tygrladi..... hope you're doing well.... Would love to hear some of your gardening wisdom if you're so inclined..... miss ya.
Happy Spring! Happy Gardening to all!!!
