DID YOU KNOW?

1. Weeds Away with Newspapers

When you start to put in your plants, work the nutrients into the soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go and cover with mulch. Forget about the weeds! Weeds will get through some gardening plastic and they will not get through wet newspapers.

2. Get Rid of Ants

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home', can't digest it, so it kills them. This may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
