    Isopropyl alcohol also removes permanent marker from plant labels, with a lot less work than sanding!

    thank you manu ginobili.

    I’m a teacher and, if someone accidentally writes on a whiteboard with permanent marker, all you have to do to get it off is write over it with a whiteboard marker and then rub the smudge off with a cloth. Worth a try on plastic tags. Much easier than sanding which leaves a rough surface.

    Ive got a question. I have an indoor rabbit and been collecting the droppings to use with coco coir for seedlings of various kinds. They were in a small tub and now there is a white stuff growing on them. Could this be benificial fungi growing or bad mold? Should i just load 1 plant with it and see what happens as an experiment?

    When I got tired of moving soil from the compost pile to the garden plot I started digging holes in the lousy soil where I wanted good soil later. I’d fill the hole with kitchen waste, manure, lawn clippings etc and cover with dirt as I dug a similar hole right next to the first. after a while the entire garden was full of composted soil and my back was still in good shape to wear myself out doing other garden chores

    These are actually sensible hacks.

    Use unsulfured molasses as a fertilizer in your garden! Dilute in water and water your garden!

    1 liter of water a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a few drips of washing up liquid blended with a soup wand or blender and use in a spray bottle for aphids spidermite caterpillars it will kill all insects so don’t spray beneficial insects, some plants are sensitive to it so it’s best to wash it off with water after a few minutes.

    My top gardening hack: get a chicken. Sheโ€™ll eat every aphid, slug, and pest in your garden in no time. Happy chicken, happy garden.



  18. Ana Larson on August 28, 2021 at 12:39 am

    great tips.



  19. NRG Ltwrkr on August 28, 2021 at 12:40 am

    These were some great hacks. I am going to mark my garden hoe handle, and I already cut up a plastic bottle for my tomatoes. Love the soaking peas and then putting them in toilet paper rolls! Thank you! Here’s one: I could never get the hang of composting. Then, one day, my neighbor lady with the beautiful garden suggested this: Once a day, take your veggie and herb trimmings, egg shells and tea and/or coffee grounds from the day and put them into a blender – fill with water and blenderize. Pour this mixture over your garden. Great for the soil and the plants love it. No more need to compost. Has worked for me ever since and I have never "burned" a plant from doing it this way.

    Guttering works better with ends fixed on them

    Nice video!



  25. Gail's Potpourri on August 28, 2021 at 12:45 am

    If you boil eggs, like for potato salad, use that water to water plants. I also practice companion planting and have a pair of Guineas Hens, AKA The Ladies, to keep my pests at bay. ๐Ÿ™ƒ



  26. Chantej Singh Bedi on August 28, 2021 at 12:46 am

    Use a paint brush to remove aphids, it works well.



  27. Concordia Lumanlan on August 28, 2021 at 12:46 am

    Great info…



  28. Carol Leach on August 28, 2021 at 12:48 am

    To gay for me.



  39. Deb Fryer on August 28, 2021 at 1:06 am

    Thanks for this and the great tips on using veg and washing up water. Here in Yuma Arizona this video will be a great reference as I begin my gardening journey this autumn. ๐ŸŒด



  40. Leslie-lynne Sinkey on August 28, 2021 at 1:07 am

    Isopropyl alcohol will remove permanent marker ("Sharpie") from plastic plant stakes.



  41. Trinmulin9 on August 28, 2021 at 1:08 am

    Thank you for the gardening tips. But, never boil your vegetable you want to eat. You wash out all the nutrients. Cook them slowly in butter or just steam them!



  42. Dal Cloud on August 28, 2021 at 1:11 am

    Awesome, thank you!!!! My best tip today is soak seeds in yoghurt or other probiotic such as kefir overnight, or even longer! This really gives a boost to older seeds especially!!!!



  43. DD O'Brien on August 28, 2021 at 1:13 am

    Great video…

    dude’s kinda creepy though.



  44. Loopy on August 28, 2021 at 1:13 am

    Or you can use egg cartons for seeds



  45. Bernardo Pandolfo on August 28, 2021 at 1:13 am

    Olha o tamanho dos dedos desses cara kkkkkkkkkkk



  46. Mary Watkins on August 28, 2021 at 1:14 am

    2:16 The water reservoirs work well. I have also used this method to add compost tea and fish emulsion to my tomato plants.



  47. Rhoman Mason on August 28, 2021 at 1:14 am

    Grow potatoes and carrots in hanging buckets to keep carrot fly and slugs n snails away from your growing veg ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

    You can use the absorbing material from a clean diaper in your soul to keep it hydrated. They hold a lot of water which will be released when the soil is too dry and absorb extra water when it rains.

    My 2 cents / tip: Instead of planting spring onions and garlic in one area, I tend to spread them out in amongst other plants, or place single-rows between other plants. Supposedly, the chemicals given off my the onion/garlic family are a deterrent to aphids and other pests.
