Corralling pets takes creativity sometimes. This homemade safety gate creates enough of an obstacle that you can usually keep your little critters from the hazards of stairways and other forbidden areas in your home. Create a frame with 1″ PVC pipe and four corner joints. Cut two PVC pipes to the width you desire and two pieces to the height you’d like. Join them together, and sew a gate sized pocket to slide the frame into. Stitch up the forth side of the pocket (or sew in velcro or buttons), and you’ve got a safety gate to keep those four-legged friends from running amuck and getting hurt.
Banana Peel Rose Fertilizer
Banana peel rose fertilizer is a great hack for growing beautiful roses. The peels decompose quickly and release nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium into the soil. The simplest way to take advantage of the nutrient rich banana peel is to bury them six inches from the base of your rose bush and one inch deep. You can also cut them into smaller pieces if you wish.
Vinegar Fabric Softener
I know, if you have not tried it, it sounds a little bit crazy! But, white vinegar works great as a natural Diy fabric softener. Just add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, and your clothes come out soft. In case you wondered, there is no vinegar smell when all is said and done. It’s natural, safe and inexpensive!
