When traveling, bring along a large binder clip. It works extremely well in closing the curtains of the hotel room & keeping the sunlight (or street lights) out.

plant treats

Give your plants a shot of potassium this quick and sooo easy way. Once you've had your banana for the day, take the peel and cut into 1-3 inch pieces. Drop into your blender with a couple of cups of water and whip for a few seconds. Strain into your watering can and finish filling up with water. Give your leafy friends a nice drink.

Aquarium Cleanup

I use the water that I drain off my aquarium on indoor plants instead of chemical fertilizer. When a tank needs to be competely stripped down, I recycle the aquarium gravel into the bottom of indoor pots to enhance drainage.

Grow Your Own Veggies

Here's an easy way to get a home vegetable garden started. Take one large, clean, empty jar and put 2 SCOTT® Towels inside. Add seeds, such as green beans, cucumbers or squash. Add 3 tbsp water and put the jar in an east-facing window. When the seeds sprout in one to two weeks, transplant them to large flower pots. When it gets warm enough, place them outside in a sunny area and water regularly.

Bundle up for Halloween

Avoid tears about having to wear a coat over trick-or-treat costumes. Make Halloween costumes 2 or 3 sizes too big so that you can dress kids in layers UNDERNEATH the costume. They'll have fun and stay warm!

Who's That?

When going through family pictures with an elderly parent, ask them if you can note on the back who is in the picture, the date, place and occasion. Don't wait until they have passed away -- the time you take today is priceless later!
