It’s the gardening season! Are you ready? Here are some of my favorite hacks for your garden that I hadn’t heard of before. For example:
- Use lemon or egg shells as a perfect minimalist medium for growing seedlings.
- Make a strawberry planter out of a single wooden pallet.
- Prevent animals from getting into your garden by placing plastic forks in the soil.
