DO you have a garden and lots of spare time? If so, then spruce things up for less.
Here is how you Sun Savers readers are doing it. And if you need a new lawnmower, enter my great gardening competition.
SALLY HAYWARD, Shrewsbury: “You may have packets of seeds at home. Now is the time to sow them to give you a colourful display.”
JANET ROGERS, Hornchurch, Essex: “Don’t throw away ice-lolly sticks. Write on them with a thin marker pen and use them to label plants and seeds.”
JOHN STACEY, Henley, Oxon: “Growing geraniums? Save used tea bags, dry them out then cut them open and sprinkle around a plant’s base for better blooms.”
JAYNE BRADFORD, Cramlington, Northumberland: “Use white vinegar on weeds. It’s cheaper than weed killer and just as good, if not better!”
MARIAN THORLEY, Manchester: “Your used coffee grounds can be recycled in your garden, they make good fertiliser.”
MARGUERITE THOMSON, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire: “To get rid of toadstools, spray water on them and then sprinkle with sugar.”
JAMES HEALY, Chatham, Kent: “Once a week, add a denture-cleaning tablet to water features. The water will stay clear.”
