1. Try using spices to prevent your seedlings from developing serious illnesses

In order to increase your seedlings chances of reaching maturity, it’s a great idea to sprinkle spices such as turmeric or clove onto the soil surrounding your seedlings. Which will significantly decrease your seedlings chances of developing illnesses as most common household spices contain natural antifungal and antibacterial properties.

2. Pre-germinate your seeds instead of purchasing new seeds

If you don’t want to have to go to the hassle of purchasing new seeds every year, it’s well worth finding out what types of plants you can pre-germinate. As an example, did you know that you can pre-germinate peas, beans, and corn by placing them in water overnight and then drying them out until new roots emerge? Once there are roots simply plant your peas, beans or corn the same way you would go about planting seedlings!

3. Place your coffee grounds in your soil

5. Hang up a spice rack in your bathroom

If you never have enough counter space for all of your bathroom related products or medicines, it’s well worth hanging up an inexpensive spice rack in your bathroom as a makeshift shelf.

If you love getting creative, you may also be interested in painting your spice rack to give it a bit of personality.

6. Use a rubber glove to get rid of unwanted pet hair

There’s no need to purchase a special vacuum cleaner in order to try and get rid of unwanted pet hair. Instead, simply use a rubber glove to quickly get rid of pet hair off your sofa, blankets, and carpet.

7. Don’t try to clean your windows when it’s sunny
