Tips and tricks
By Paul James
• To remove the salt deposits that form on clay pots, combine equal parts
white vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle. Apply the mixture
to the pot and scrub with a plastic brush. Let the pot dry before you plant anything in it
• To prevent accumulating dirt under your fingernails while you work in the garden, draw
your fingernails across a bar of soap and you'll effectively seal the undersides of your nails
so dirt can't collect beneath them. Then, after you've finished in the garden, use a nailbrush
to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.
• Turn a long-handled tool into a measuring stick! Lay a long-handled garden tool on the ground,
and next to it place a tape measure. Using a permanent marker, write inch and foot marks on the
handle. When you need to space plants a certain distance apart--from just an inch to several feet--
you'll already have a measuring device in your hand.
