Vacation Plant Watering with Wine Bottles
Don’t have a house-sitter to take care of all your house plants and container plants outside? Don’t panic! Grab a wine bottle (if it’s not empty, drink that wine up!), rinse it clean, and fill it with water. If you’re feeling extra motivated, you can even mix in a little plant fertilizer. Then quickly flip the bottle upside down and jam it into the soil. Voila! Your plants will receive a steady soak from the bottle while you’re gone. Just don’t vacation too long, or your plants might chug all the bottles dry!
Instant Trash Liners
Replacing trash liner bags can be a real drag, so we’ve got a hack to minimize the hassle. Rather than replace liners one by one, load up a half dozen or so liners in one shot. When it’s time to take out the trash, you’ll have more liners ready to rock. As an added bonus, the additional liners can also catch any trash goop if you happen to use a bag with a rip or tear!
Slicing Strawberries with an Egg Slicer
Summer is a great time to eat strawberries ala carte, or as part of a fruit salad. However slicing them can be a pain. Use a standard egg slicer to slice strawberries to make your prep time more “fruitful!” For optimal results, make sure you cut off the stem prior to slicing.
Use a Pool Noodle as a Faucet Hose Attachment
Use a pool noodle as a faucet hose attachment in order to fill your mop bucket. Pool noodles are not just for floating in the water anymore! To use these polyethylene foam tubes as a hose extension just hook the faucet through one of the openings of the noodle. Position bucket at the other end of noodle, then you are ready to turn on the water.
