Just poke a hole in the bottom of the peel for drainage, fill with potting soil, then add two seeds and some water. Voila! After thinning to one seedling per peel, transplant the whole ding dang thing into the garden. The peels will compost directly into the soil to nourish the plants as they grow.

Line flowerpots and planters with coffee filters to stop soil from falling through the drainage hole.

I'll use this to keep my art pencils accessible!

To reduce static cling, all you need is a safety pin! Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and TA DA! … static is gone

Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

The only SPOT REMOVER you may ever need ~ Mix one part Dawn dish washing liquid with two parts hydrogen peroxide; pour or spray it directly on the stain, and watch it disappear like MAGIC.

Cut open toilet paper rolls and use as a cuff to save your wrapping paper. Brilliant!
