| − | Take the time to remove weeds. Unwanted weeds fight for the same nutrients that more desirable plants do, and they also are unsightly. To help with weed destruction, use white vinegar. White vinegar kills weeds. Use a spray bottle full of white vinegar and you won't have to use your hands.

| − | A handy trick is to turn the handle on a tool that you use often into a makeshift ruler. Handles of things such as rakes, hoes or shovels make excellent measuring instruments. Lay the handles onto the floor and place a measuring tape beside them. It's a good idea to label distances with a permanent marker. When the need arises to measure something while in your garden, the measuring tool you need will literally be "on hand," sketched into the handles of your tools.

| − | Go slowly as you plant the seeds. Begin by adding moisture to the dirt. Your seeds should be spaced out evenly so they aren't overcrowded. This will ensure that they can grow. The seeds should be buried to a depth that is equal to three times the diameter of the seeds. Also keep in mind that there are some seeds you should not bury, as light is essential for their growth.

| − | When autumn has arrived, you must plant everything you want to eat before winter. Clay pots are boring, so replace those ordinary lettuce and kale pots with pumpkins. Cut an opening in the top of your pumpkin, scoop out the inside, and spray the entire thing with Wilt-Proof. This will prevent rotting. Once you have finished, you can begin planting.

| − | Using pest-resistant plants or natural materials in your garden is a good way to keep pests away. Slugs are repelled by bordering your vegetable garden with either onions or marigolds. Wood ash, when used as mulch, can help keep insects away from trees and shrubs. These are methods you can use to get rid of the need to use pesticides.

| − | A useful gardening tip is to use vinegar and rubbing alcohol to remove salt deposits from clay pots. Salt deposits may form on the exterior of any pot that is left outside for an extended amount of time. Mix water, white vinegar and rubbing alcohol in equal parts, and spray the combination on the pot. Scrub it down with any brush you happen to have handy, and the salt will come right off. Rinse the pot, and dry it for a while before starting to plant anything else in it.
