Tip 9 is especially useful!
Some love gardening and other like to stay as far away from it as possible. Whether you belong to the first or second category; it’s always nice to know a few handy garden tricks that will save you time and money. We have therefore listed 21 garden hacks for you. Here they come:
1. Use a newspaper against weeds

What to do?

This way the weeds (under the newspaper) do not receive sunlight or oxygen, which suffocates the weeds. The newspaper paper is organically degradable too, so you don’t have to worry about pollution.
2. Use cooking spray on your lawn mower
Do you regularly mow the grass and does the grass stick to the blades of your lawn mower? You can easily prevent this by spraying the blades of your mower with cooking spray. As a result, grass sticks to the blades a lot less easily.
