7 Tricks You Definitely Don't Know About!
1. Are you also one of those who love terracotta? If your answer is yes, you must know that over time, white marks appear on terracotta. These are salt stains that precipitate on it. While it gives the pots a bit of a "rustic" look, it's still more unsightly than pretty. How to get rid of them easily? Mix one part vinegar, alcohol and water and put it all in a spray bottle. Then just spray the pots evenly and gently scrub with a brush. Done! Don't forget to let the pot dry before planting anything in it.
2. Like every gardener, your nails have certainly been black with soil more than once. To keep your nails clean, or rather the space under your nails, rub them with hand soap. The soap will effectively plug the free spaces where soil could get in. After work, just wash your hands and the soap is gone!
3. Small clay pots can be used wonderfully as protection against ground frosts! Canning jars work just as well too.
4. Next time you have steamed vegetables for dinner at home, definitely don't pour the water away! Let it cool down and water your container plants with it! You'll see how beautifully they'll grow.
5. To acidify the soil the organic way, use tea and coffee leftovers diluted with water. Such watering once a month will be especially appreciated by azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias and even blueberries.
6. Chamomile is good not just for illnesses. One teaspoon of chamomile infusion around newly sprouted seedlings can prevent damping off.
7. The easiest way to dry plants quickly and effectively is in the car! Simply on a warm day, put newspapers on the seat, place herbs on them in a single layer, open the windows and close the doors! The draft and warm air will take care of the rest. And what's more! The herbs will beautifully scent your car.
