Each gardener has his or her own little trick that helps him / her be as successful in growing plants as possible. We have compiled 10 simple and great tricks and tips to help you ease your day to day life in the garden.




 1. Make biodegradable pots for your seedlings

 With pots for your seedlings, you can be really creative. There are lots of materials that already surround you, and you can use them in a whole new and useful way. The seedlings can thus become tubes of toilet paper, eggshells, lemon peel, etc. These are all biodegradable materials that you will utilize without creating any additional waste. Since you already have them with you, this solution will be completely free.

2. Grow your moss graffiti

This is an ingenious and actually quite simple idea that you can actually accomplish yourself. All you have to do is choose a sunny spot, the wall you want to decorate in this way. With special preparations to help moss grow, create the right eco-friendly little artwork around you.
3. Propagate the succulents themselves
All you have to do is carefully cut the succulent leaf exactly where it connects to the stem. You should first allow such a part to dry and then carefully water it. Depending on the weather, the first drying lasts until the leaf begins to curl - between one and three days. When the leaf is ready, you should lay it on the ground, which must be moist enough to allow the plant to propagate, and again not too moist to prevent the leaf from tearing. Now you have to wait patiently for the results of your experiment.


4. Make your own watering can

We all have some plants to look out for when watering because they are extremely sensitive to the amount of water. That is why not every watering can is suitable for watering every plant. Try to make a container of your own that will release just as much water as you like. Make it from large packs of juice or milk. 5 liter bottles can become very practical. They fit enough water that you don't have to fill them all the time, and you can make as many holes in the plug as you need. Let watering not be a tedious process.
5. Turn plastic packaging into blades

With the right instructions, you can easily reach the shovel for your garden. Already shaped industrial handles guarantee that the blades will fit in your hand, and with this handy trick you will finally be able to have enough blades wherever you need it in the garden. Plus, you can easily adjust them: a blunt tip, a pointed tip, a rounded tip, or whatever you need.

6. A bottle rack can become a rack for your living spices in the kitchen

Basil, parsley, thyme and other spices that you grow for cooking can be conveniently placed on the wall and adorn your interior instead of occupying the worktop you need to prepare your lunch. Find the appropriate containers and simply place them in the rack. As well as keeping your plants close to hand, you will clearly monitor their development.

7. Propagate the plants yourself

Already cut basil stalks do not have to be forcibly consumed, and you certainly do not have to throw them. Provide them with a pot of water so they can root again and you will grow your basil very quickly. An easy trick for unlimited amounts of basil.

Celery is another plant that you can easily reproduce. Cut off the part you plan to cook in the kitchen and just put the remaining bottom with roots in water. The new celery plant will grow again.

Any onion head will germinate over time and germinate over time. So you can easily use unspent amounts to create your own garden. Simply peel off excess layers until you reach the middle from which a new plant is already growing and plant in the ground.

8. Create a hanging garden

If you grow your plants in a limited space such as a balcony, you can always take advantage of the vertical space and expand your empire. Often, our walls are empty, and with a few tricks you can complete them. The walls often get enough light and are suitable for most plants.

Shower hangers have plenty of space to house all the preparations you use in the bathroom, and if you place it on the balcony, it will open up a whole new space where you can add your plants.

Another example of a well-used space is shoe pockets. They have enough compartments in which you can put your plants, so that placing only one object on the wall will provide plenty of space for different plants.

9. Prevent plants from drying out while on the road

A common problem is every opportunity to go home for a long time when you have no one to entrust with the care of your plants. We have a small and simple trick for you how to get plants enough water to keep your path free. Place a pot full of water next to the plant jar. Take a cloth or towel and place it half in water and the other half resting on the ground in a jar. The towel will be moist as long as there is water in the pot, thus supplying the soil with moisture. This will prevent your plants from drying out.

10. Plant seeds with toilet paper

Small seeds are often a real problem for planting in the garden. If you want to spread your seeds accurately, you can do this using a toilet paper trick. For this purpose, it is best to use double ply paper as it is not too thick and will break down faster. Spread toilet paper on the kitchen table (one long strip to begin with) and gently spray it with water (preferably with a clip). In the middle, arrange the seed as it is planted and ground, then fold the paper on one side to cover the seed and fold it on the other. Spray again. Your seed is now safe to lay on the ground in the garden and simply cover it with earth. This will help you spread the seed perfectly in advance and make it easier to plant.
