Reuse Peroxide Bottles

By likekinds

A recycled hydrogen peroxide bottle with a Clorox label.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.

Pre-season Planting

By judy

Planting seedlings in a small container.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.
