Abstract
Repurpose an old cushion for a garden seat - Winning Tip Garden kneelers are a necessity as you age, not a luxury. Garden pests may be doing you a favor I used to be very annoyed with a pair of nesting geese that come each spring to my yard, until I noticed that the protective parents keep the groundhogs away from my garden. Now I happily clean up their droppings, which I throw in my garden as fertilizer, and I say "Welcome" to my feathered friends. Easily pick up trash when you come across it in the garden When doing odd jobs around the garden, I invariably find bits of trash, such as shredded plastic in the commercial compost, wrappers dropped by crows, and cigarette butts tossed by drivers. I don't want it in my pockets, and the little pieces are hardly worth a special trip to the garbage can, so I keep an old plastic zipper bag clipped to the bucket I carry around the garden. Don't break your back, repurpose a wagon for your garden tools When I was walking yesterday, I noticed that my neighbor was using a child's plastic wagon as a garden-tool caddy. Painted chicken wire keeps critters away without creating unseen obstacles I garden in the country and have many hungry critters to deal with.
