1. Use Vegetable Vines to Make a Tunnel

Supplies Required: Gourds or other vine-growing plants; wire awning Making Cost: *$100* A lovely addition to any landscape would be this incredible-looking tunnel. The original owner of the garden shown in this picture first made an awning out of wire. If you're not handy, you can always purchase an identical awning at Lowe's or Home Depot. Next, the gardener planted gourds along the edges of the awning.

It took a mere thirty days for lush, green foliage to emerge. If you're not into gourds, you can plant any plant with long vines or tendrils, such as green beans or peas.

2. How to Water Your Tomatoes

Supplies Required: water, compost, drill, and garbage can Making Cost: $20* (Drill Not Included) A mainstay of gardens, tomatoes can be challenging to cultivate in arid regions. Watering is important, but it's not always ideal to use an overhead sprinkler on tomatoes' leaves. In actuality, the remedy is fairly easy and affordable. To begin, take a garbage can and drill holes ten inches above the bottom as well as in the bottom ring.

The Correct Way to Water Your Tomatoes (@kathrinweigeltk) on Pinterest The trash can should be buried so that the openings at the top are just above ground. Tomatoes should be planted near the trash can. Every two days, add two shovels' worth of compost to the can and fill it with water. Keep an eye on the fruit's growth and refrain from watering the nearby leaves.
