No need to spend money on a bench press. Just rescue an old broomstick from the trash, cut off the bristles, and tie weighted socks to both ends. Or if you have any old iron pipes lying around cut them to the desired length and use without weights.
Get Rid of Fruit Flies
I’ve used this solution for eliminating fruit flies for several years now. It gets rid of them in a couple of hours. Fill a shallow, large bowl or pan no more than half full with soapy water (squeeze your soapy sponge into the water). Fill a smaller container with a sweet vinegar or sweet wine (dump leftovers from the glasses from dinner). Set this container in the center of the larger container and place them both in the area where fruit flies are congregating.
The flies gravitate to the sweet vinegar or wine and drown in one of the two containers.
Croquet Wickets in Your Garden
If you have an abundance of croquet wickets you can use them to corral your garden hose. Press them into your lawn or garden area to define where you want your hose to be. Then just snake the hose through the wickets and it won’t flop around and crush your delicate flowers.
Easy Cord Storage & Organization
Organize your stray cords by rolling them so that each one fits inside an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll. You can even cut each tube to fit the cord stored inside, although make sure to cut the tube before placing the cord inside. Label the roll and it will be easy to find the cord you need and it won’t be tangled.
