🌱 6. Garden Helper: Support for Plants
Can tabs are surprisingly helpful in the garden, especially for supporting plants and organizing plant labels. Here’s how:
What you need:
- Can tabs
- Garden wire or a thin stick (like a chopstick or skewer)
- Permanent marker (optional)
How to make it:
- Use can tabs to mark your plants by attaching them to sticks with a piece of garden wire. Write the plant name on the tab using a permanent marker.
- For climbing plants or tomatoes, you can also use can tabs to support their vines by hooking the tab around the plant stem and tying it gently to a stick or wire.
It’s a clever and eco-friendly way to keep your garden organized while making use of something you might have thrown away!
