| Pencil Shavings in Plant Soil
|
|
Next time you empty your pencil sharpener, toss the shavings around any any plants that might have bugs. Mix the shavings into the soil at the base of the plant. Most pencils are made from cedar, and the bugs don't like the smell.

I save my veggie scraps, coffee grounds, filters, tea bags etc, in a plastic kitty litter bucket under the kitchen sink, if you add shredded paper or substitute sugar packets in there too, it kills the odor.

| Compost Disposable Coffee Cups
|
|
Do you throw your Tim Hortons' cups in the recycle or garbage? I found out that they can be composted. So I rinse them out and place one at a time, inside my small compost container, and use them for soggy things like tea bags and coffee filters, oatmeal too.
