Using Tic Tacs To Manage And Store Your Seeds

I use these all the time to manage my seeds, these containers are so cheap but good to store and carry your seeds. Carefully close the containers and store in a dark cool place.

This image of course is not only limited to tic tacs but can be applied to a wide arrange of seeds. The idea behind it is that you should avoid contamination at all cost.

In one of my next posts I will explain the easiest way to sprout and plant them. Many people don't know this but actually the easiest way to grow your plants is to first sprout them

Make Your Own Water Slide under $5

Kids just love it, yet its so simple to make: Just buy a plastic foil that can be found in any hardware store and spray it with your water hose :).

For more fun you can buy brown soap and apply it with a brush, using this technique you don't even need to place the foil at an angle, it will be so slippery that you will slide anyway

If you want even more fun you can apply brown soap, plant oil and foam to the foil, your slide will be so slippery and foamy you will have loads of fun, if you are concerned about your kids accidentally swallowing some of the soap you can choose to use only the vegetable oil. Using brown soap is recommended for easy cleaning


Your kids will love it!

Use Your Roof As a Garden

If you are lucky enough to have acces to your roof you can use it to make a little green space on top of your house. Not only does it benefit the environment its also loads of fun! Before you start with your green garden roof you should first calculate the amount of weight that the roof is able to support. If it can't support an abundant amount of weight it is best to only use some small plants. Especially small trees can grow up and increase in weight.
