Make Your Own Houseplant Trellis
By 15mhhm15
From a sad droopy plant to a happy structured plant - easily make your own plant trellis with a piece of simple plant wire and plant tie ribbon. This is an inexpensive solution for your own plant trellis and you're still left with lots of wire and ribbon left for other uses!

I brought my love for nature into my living room since our summer season will be going really busy. I just imagined myself going to this pearly wonderful waterfall while making this craft.
Vinegar as Natural Kettle Descaler
By attosa
I used to manage a coffee shop where we had to use expensive chemical descalers to clean our hefty coffee machines and boilers. At home, to clean my kettle thoroughly, I add equal parts water and white vinegar inside and let it sit for an hour.

Peroxide is a great disinfectant with a lot of applications. It also removes a lot of stains, particularly organic stains such as blood. I buy the larger bottles as I use it quite often.

Start your seeds in plants already growing in the house instead of using many small cups for starting your plants ahead of the growing season. Just plant them right along with other plants you have growing in the house. When they get big enough to transplant, you can move them into other containers or directly into your garden.
Do you have a small corner space in your home that you have trouble making use of? Making some custom fit shelves for the area can be a great functional solution.
