Tips: - Use any kind of plastic cassette tape as plant ties. The tape stretches and won't damage tender stems.
- Drop saved soap slivers into an old nylon stocking. Tie the stocking around an outside faucet for a quick cleanup when you're through gardening.
- Properly treated outdoor wood will cause a spilled glass of water to bead on its surface.
- New asphalt driveways must cure for 6 months in warm temperatures before being sealed.
