TY! New here. What's the top planting software? Also, what's the best budget software?
The water bottle trick. Will that work in the ground as well? I really like that idea.
Good tips thanks.

Micro climate. My favourite hack doesn't seem like much of a hack, but if you have too much sun for a particular plant, you can plant it in the shade of another plant. The soil will be a few degrees cooler, and sometimes that is all you need.
My favorite hack right now is after my prayer. I have planted lemon trees. Temperatures dropped and will be dropping in zone 7 during the night. I have a green house but the trees can't be moved nor the greenhouse. I said oh my God what am I going t I do? HE said use the plastic bags I have in storage that sheets and curtains came in. I found them because I used the bags to store other items . They fit very well over the trees and I was able to zip them.
Same plastic structure as a greenhouse with zipper. My greenhouse looks like the one in your video behind you. This answer just has a different shape.
I encourage folks to save those types of bags even the small ones for stater seeds. I also have clear plastic tarp that is used for sealing drafts. A roll over this wrapped around chicken fence is also a inexpensive was for a quick greenhouse for frost. Use to make a lid for it. God still hears.
I have never done so much pulling of weeds this season. I was testing soil for mole crickets and have found many nest. Watched videos on how to do. Now with all the wholes and weeds attached to them, I didn't want to waste the soil. Oh my God, what do I do to separate these dirt balls. Answer for me was to use a office waste basket I was going to toss. I put the balls of weeds with dirt, let them dry in the sun. The mesh from the waste basket shifted the weeds, rocks and bugs. Now I have powdery soil for replanting.
Along with this season I noticed I've been doing more home recycling and the trash folk asked why I only have one week of trash? Hahaha, told them after using all the hacks I been learning, they can have the left overs
Bottomless gallon jugs make nice mini greenhouses.
Write in pencil then can remove with rubber erasers

i used these things since 2020 and my veg n herbs grow extremely healthy,
Why is using sticky tape to get rid of aphids less wasteful than using water?
What an excellent, helpful set of tips – thanks!
Measure stick makes a good dig stick and planting stick.
Some plants I found tolerate wind less than others. I rearranged my grow bags to better shelter them from wind and got a great boost in plant health and growth. The microclimate is as important or even more important than I thought.
Brilliant ideas xx
I use my crushed egg shells to add to the soil in spring and to keep snails away. Coffee goes to the plants, too, as are tea leaves. Everything is in pots (with tiny holes to let out the surplus of water, so that yhey can be moved around, allowing to follof or avoid the sun during the day. My strawberries are against the wall in tubes: decorative and easy to collect. I'd put holes at tgexside, though, so that the plant got the time to enjoy the water!
