Pretty flower arrangement

Add marbles to the bottom of a vase to keep your flowers well arranged and make your vase to look playful and attractively gorgeous.

Recycle an old hose

Cut off a section of your old garden hose, make a slit down its length, and put it over a skinny bucket wire. Now you can comfortably handle your container.

Recycle a birdbath

Fill your birdbath with soil, reusing it as a planter, and you will have a pretty display. The lack of drainage will keep the soil moist, so you will need to water even less frequently than usual.

Preserving your fresh cut flowers

Add a few drops of bleach to the water in the vase to prevent bacteria growth and keep flower stems from mildewing.

Lubricant for garden shear

Rub a little amount of car wax paste on the hinge of a pair of garden shears so they do not get jammed.

Keep flowers fresh

Use a leftover party balloon to prevent freshly cut flowers from wilting when you have to transport them. Fill the balloon with some water, then slip the opening over the stems.
