Affordable Landscaping

An affordable way to landscape your garden is as follows;

Rake and level the sand, removing any unwanted stones & rocks

Cover the area with shade cloth, then purchase from your local hardware, solid coloured slabs (terracotta, limestone etc)

Position them stepping distance apart and then cover the entire shade cloth area with either blue metal, pea gravel or quartz

Garage Sales

Visit garage sales …

After all, one person's trash is another person's treasure, and you often find pictures and prints at really cheap prices which will help cover a few of those bare walls.

Easy Cleaning

Do you have baked on food inside your microwave?

Fill a bowl with warm water and add a couple of slices of lemon. Put in the microwave and set for 5 minutes. Not only will tough food stains be removed in one easy wipe, but your kitchen and microwave will have the fresh smell of lemons.

House Warming Party

When you throw your house warming, make it a plant party where your guests bring you a plant as a house warming gift.

You can amass yourself a whole new range of plants that you can plant wherever you want – just for putting on a slab of beer and burning a few snags.

Spindly Plants

When Plants grow tall and spindly with only a few leaves, it means they have too much food and water for the amount of light available. This happened mainly in spring, so cut down on food and water during this time.

Poisoning Noxious Weeds

The safest way to spray weed killer on noxious weeds is to use and old food tin with the top and bottom removed. Sit it over the weed and spray inside it. This also stops the weed killer, killing your plants.
