Turn an empty toilet paper roll into a pot
Rather than throwing away your empty toilet paper rolls, reuse them as pots for your flowers. How? By adding a cardboard bottom and putting fresh soil inside. Then, all you have to do is plant your cuttings or plants.
Use coffee grinds
Rather than constantly buying new soil, why not use your old coffee grinds? They make very good fertilizers and will help your plants to shoot up!
Try using bicarbonate of soda on your vegetable patch
As surprising as it may seem, bicarbonate of soda can also be used in your garden. The website ManoMano suggests pouring it on the base of your tomato plants to make them less ‘sour’ for example.
Use nappies
