This thing can be picked up anywhere on the roadside, used for cuttings, composting and insecticide...it solves all problems and saves 10 years of shopping money!

Self-watering flower box

1. Prepare two foam boxes of the same size, used as soil boxes and water storage tanks respectively, as well as burnt honeycomb coal and two PVC pipes of different diameters.

2. Cut the large diameter PVC pipe to 5-7 mm shorter than the foam box, and then place it upright in the center of the water tank. Place 4 5 mm thick small tiles under the pipe. The total height of the large pipe after padding cannot exceed the inner diameter of the water tank.

3. Crush the honeycomb briquettes, put them into a large tube, and pour 5-10 cm thick water into the water tank.

4. Align the soil box and press it on the water tank, then press hard to allow the large tube to leave an imprint on the bottom of the soil box, and dig a hole at the bottom of the soil box along the inside of the imprint.

5. Dig a small hole in the corner of the soil box with a diameter smaller than the small PVC pipe, and place the small pipe on the hole. The small hole is used to observe the water level in the water tank, and can also be used to add water and fertilizer.

6. After the two boxes are processed, place the soil box on the water tank and fill it with soil. You will find that the water is slowly absorbed. Friends who are often not at home can try using this method to care for flowers or grow vegetables.

Compost Bin

1. Chop up all the kitchen waste or leaves you picked up, and then add a little soil and mix them together.

2. If you have pets at home, you can put some pet feces, not too much, as this will help speed up decomposition.

3. After finishing, if it feels very dry, add some water. Finally, cover with a layer of soil to keep out insects and odors.

4. The humidity is high in summer, so make sure the compost bin is in a relatively dry state. It is best to place the bin in a well-ventilated place. In the summer, the fertilizer will be piled up in about a month. It is rich in nutrients and does not attract insects!

Cuttings

1. Prepare foam board, scissors, tape and mineral water bottle for cuttings.

2. Taking gardenia as an example, cut a few fresh and strong branches, and keep at least 1-2 buds on each branch.

3. Cut the foam board into a circle, poke a few holes in it, and then put the trimmed gardenia in it.

4. Use scissors to cut open 1/3 of the mineral water bottle, but do not cut it through. Pour in half of the water, put the gardenia and the foam board into the mineral water bottle, poke a few holes in the bottle cap and tighten it.

5. In about 10 days, the gardenia will take root!

Pest control

1. Cut the foam board into a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the flower pot. Cut a hole in the circle that is just big enough for the flower stem to pass through.

2. Pass the round foam board through the trunk of the potted plant and put it on the potted plant that needs to be killed.

3. Place an upside-down washbasin or a small stool on the ground and place the flower pot flat on it.

4. Turn on the faucet and scrub the leaves with insects with your hands. It didn't take long before the bugs on the leaves were cleaned away.

5. After cleaning, place the flowers in a ventilated place to dry, and then maintain them normally!
