A quick mosquito repellent

Homegrown basil rubbed on the skin can repel mosquitos. If you're having a barbecue throw a little on the coals, it will keep them away better than a citronella candle.

A Budget Camper You Build From Plans

Here is a interesting idea . . .

Keep Garden Tools Clean

Keep you garden tools clean and rust free by keeping a bucket of sand handy. Brush off excess soil, then plunge your tool into the sand. The sand alone will scrub your tool clean. You can add a bottle of oil to your bucket of sand to lubricate and protect your tool. Many people use old motor oil. I like to use a cooking oil, but this isn't practical if you're bucket is accessible to wildlife.

Gardening Tip

If you'll be planting seeds left over from last year, you can test their viability before planting. Sprinkling the seeds you want to use in the bottom of a glass or jar and then fill it with water. The seeds that float to the top are probably no good. Plant the seeds that stay on the bottom. (Once the seeds are wet, you'll need to get them in soil ASAP.)

PRESERVE NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS
