Toilet paper rolls can be used to create simple bug traps that help control garden pests naturally. Fill the rolls with a mixture of sugar and borax, or another natural insecticide, and place them around your garden. The pests are attracted to the bait, enter the roll, and are effectively trapped. This method reduces the need for chemical pesticides, promoting a healthier garden ecosystem.
7. Watering Funnels: Efficient Water Distribution
For precise watering, especially in container gardens or areas with dense planting, toilet paper rolls can be repurposed as watering funnels. Insert one end of the roll into the soil near the plant’s base and pour water into the other end. This directs water straight to the roots, minimizing evaporation and ensuring that the plant receives adequate moisture. It’s a simple yet effective way to conserve water and promote plant health.
