Baking soda makes flowers bloom and fuller? 10 best garden hacks most don’t know

## 4. Banana Peel Fertilizer

Banana peels are rich in potassium and phosphorus, two key nutrients for flowering plants. Simply chop them up and bury near the roots or soak in water to create a nutrient-rich spray.

## 5. Epsom Salt for Greener Leaves

Magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salt, can improve chlorophyll production, resulting in lush, green leaves. Dissolve 1 tablespoon in a gallon of water and use as a foliar spray.

## 6. DIY Natural Pest Repellent

Mix garlic, cayenne pepper, and water to create a spray that wards off aphids and other pests. Spray on affected plants weekly for best results.

## 7. Water Ice Cubes for Succulents

Surprise your succulents with ice cubes instead of regular watering. It’s a slow, controlled way to hydrate without overwatering.

## 8. Use String to Train Vines

Train climbing plants like peas and beans by tying them gently with string to supports. This prevents tangling and encourages better air circulation.

## 9. Mulch with Newspaper

Lay down sheets of newspaper under mulch to prevent weeds from growing while allowing water to seep through easily.

## 10. Rotate Crops to Maintain Soil Health

Avoid planting the same species in the same spot year after year. Rotate crops to prevent nutrient depletion and reduce pest buildup.
