Rather than throwing away sponges, the gardening expert urges that they're ideal for nurturing plants.
The leaves are coming back to trees, the flowers are starting to bloom and I, personally, a certified Garden Goblin, am looking for any tips I can find thisThe idea we have of gardening is that it’s a zen-like experience, filled only with peace and love towards the life that we’re bringing into the world.However, for Garden Goblins like myself that love our gardens but can’t always keep them entirely healthy and have almost entirely given up on houseplants, we need a little extra help.
First, we should soak the sponge in disinfectant for an hour because plants are fussy and don’t want our dirty dish water. I know, I was confused too. They then repotted a plant on top of the layer of the sponge and filled in the pot with more soil. They assured that this will go on to retain moisture and keep plants hydrated for a longer period of time.
