Tips for Creating a Gardening Wall in Your Garage

If you are planning on having a garden during the spring and summer months, why not use your garage as a storage location. Many use their garages to store lots of junk that they no longer need to use. Instead of letting items pile up, why not create a gardening wall in your garage. This is really very simple to do.

Organize All Your Garden Tools

The first things you will want to do are clean out the garage and organize all of the items. The best way to do this is to take all of the items out of the garage and then place them back into the garage in an organized fashion. Set up one wall to hold all of your gardening supplies. I would recommend that you visit your local Home Depot Store, and purchase some hooks. Hang up a nice amount of hooks so that you can store your supplies this way. This will give you more floor space for the larger items such as the planting soil, and additional supplies.

 

Put Your Garden Design Drawing on the Wall

Another item which you can add to your gardening wall is a diagram or picture of what you want your garden to look like. Some usually find pictures inside of a magazine and will use this as your guide. You can also draw your own sketch and use this. Having a drawing or general idea of how you want your garden to look is certainly a good idea. Hang this up in the center of your gardening wall. It can be the main focal point of the wall.

Add A Work Surface

A small desk for the area near your gardening wall is also a good idea. If you don’t like the idea of a table which will take up more space, then why not instead put up a simple shelf. You can purchase a long shelf that will run the entire length of the gardening wall. Be sure that when you install it, you make sure that it is secure. This is the perfect area to place all of your seeds, and your pots as well. Basically anything that can not be hung up should be placed on this shelf. I would recommend that you first draw a sketch of how you want your garden wall to be. This will help to keep everything neat and organized when you are ready to get started. Remember that you don’t want to go overboard but instead do your best to keep things as simple as possible.

How to Give Your Bathroom a Deep Clean in 15-minute Segments

Bathrooms can be a haven of relaxation, however if mildew is growing, counters are overflowing, and hair and dust balls line the floor, the idea of lingering in this room is not appealing. Even if the idea of a clean bathroom is appealing, the idea of a three or four-hour cleaning regiment might not be the motivation needed to complete the bathroom’s spring clean. Instead of trying to complete the cleaning project in one day, spread the chore over several days in 15-minute segments.   Daily Bathroom Cleaning Schedule The first day Clean out any drawers, cabinets, or closets in the bathroom area. Usually items are found that are unnecessary, outdated, or no longer used. Throw away or recycle any material, products, or linens that fit one of these categories. The second day Take items off of the countertop and decide what should be kept, thrown out, or recycled. Try to store most items in the drawers, cabinets, or closet in order to eliminate the clutter. If it is too ...

10 DIY Winter Home Repairs

The winter months can become very hard on your home. Problems always arise during the winter months, and always seem more expensive. Start at the first sign of winter, so you will have fewer repairs to make yourself through them cold winter months. Doing this yourself can save you a lot of money in the long run. Tip #1- Clean Gutters / Fix Cracks You should make sure all debris are cleaned from your gutters right before winter starts and then once in the middle of winter. I have found the easiest way to clean these if with a small set of garden tools. Use the shovel to scrape the leaves out of there. Then use the small rake they give you to help. Once you have removed it all, take a garden hose and spray it off, making sure the water drains correctly. If you have cracks in your gutters then purchase some putty to fill in these cracks. Water damage can cost a lot of money. When it snows, that water needs a place to go. If your water has no place to go, then its going to sit on your h...
