Do your knees need help??

Category: Organic Tips for your Garden | Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 6:37 pm

I am so fed up wasting money on buying knee pads for my gardening pants . They end up at my ankles or around my feet and I get so mad, I just throw them away.
So, I have made knee pads of my own, and I will share this " fabulous" design with you!!!

Take a piece of fabric ( old blue jeans) and cut it to fit like a large " pocket" over each knee of your gardening pants. Then cut a piece of foam rubber to fit into the "pocket" on each knee and when you are crawling through your canna lilies etc , your knee pads will stay put.
When you want to wash your gardening pants, then just slip out the foam and when your pants are dry, hey presto! you are good to go again!

INEXPENSIVE GARDEN LIGHTS.

I read`this tip and I thought it was worthwhile passing on.
Get any strong glass jar, the bigger the better, and empty it out and wash it well. Could be a mayonnaise jar, pickles etc.
Pour 2 or 3 inches of sand into the jar, then insert a white pillar candle.
They look lovely in the garden at night,down a driveway or grouped together by your favorite garden spot, or to welcome visitors to your home.

Try it, let me know how it works for you.

Great idea for knee pads!! I have a stock of glass jars and plenty of sand in the shed. All I need are the candles which I can pick up at the week-end. Love your ideas so please keep them coming.
