Great Gardening Hacks for 2021
As we move into 2021 and hopefully, see the end of the pandemic, we can all get back to some form of normality and if you would like to spend time on improving your exterior living space, here are a few cool ideas.
Artificial Grass
Like most things, artificial grass has got better, to the point where you can choose between a sports field type grass to a golf-green, smooth finish. Once you replace your lawn with artificial grass, you can sell that lawnmower that takes up too much space and your grassed area always looks spot on. You might have a quiet corner that could be turned into a small grassed area and the turf can be cut much like real grass.
Organic Vegetable Patch
Search online for compostable dog poop bags and add all your food waste to create rich compost that you can use with the veggie patch in the corner of the garden. Eating home-grown organic produce ensures that you have all the vitamins and nutrients for a healthy body and the seeds can be procured online, which is an eco-friendly way to grow your own food.
Pet Excrement
If your pet soils in the garden, you can order some dog poop bags that decompose naturally, so just add these to your compost and the problem is solved. Some people say that sprinkling pepper on flower beds will keep cats away and there are other home remedies to deter animals from defecating.
Light Sensors
If you install light sensors, the lights automatically come on when someone approaches, which is more than a little cool. Great for safety and security; an intruder would leave if the lights came on in the garden. Install some floor-level LED lights that are solar powered, which really does look amazing and with LED strips, you can create a Disney-style ambience. Indeed, aside from providing illumination, landscape lighting enlivens the area for entertaining friends or spending quiet evenings by yourself. Light up your outdoor scene with stylish and quality fixtures that combine function and beauty. You can find lighting products and accessories that are within your budget and are easy to maintain so you can enjoy this lovely night scenery for a long time.
Crate Furniture
If you have yet to see the amazing garden furniture made from crates, search with Google Images and you’ll be amazed at what can be done with a few old pallets. If you are a DIY enthusiast, this would make an excellent project, failing that, you can buy this kind of outdoor furniture online.

If you are spending a lot of time at home, there are many projects you can implement to improve your outdoor living space and we should all stay abreast of the latest Covid-19 situation before planning any trips.
