🌱 Garden Hacks Using Everyday Items
1️⃣ Baking Soda
Can help slow down certain fungal problems when used carefully.
⚠️ Too much can harm plants, so always use a very light touch.
2️⃣ Epsom Salt
Helpful for plants that actually need extra magnesium.
💡 Many plants don’t benefit from it, so use only when there’s a clear need.
3️⃣ Coffee Grounds
Adds organic matter to soil and may discourage some pests.
♻️ Best used sparingly and mixed into compost or soil.
4️⃣ Vinegar
Effective for killing weeds in sidewalk cracks and driveways.
🚫 Keep it far away from garden plants, as it doesn’t discriminate.
5️⃣ Eggshells
Provide calcium as they break down and may deter soft-bodied pests.
🔪 Crushing them finely helps them work faster and more effectively.
6️⃣ Banana Peels
Offer potassium as they decompose, which supports blooming plants.
🐿️ Bury them well to avoid attracting unwanted visitors.
8️⃣ Cinnamon
Can help reduce surface mold and fungus in potting soil.
✨ A bonus perk: it leaves a pleasant scent behind.
9️⃣ Garlic
Strong-smelling sprays made with garlic can help repel some insects.
🌿 Best used as part of a broader pest-management routine.
