RUTH'S SHOOTS

If, like me, you hate wearing gardening gloves; scrape your nails down a bar of soap before you start getting your hands into the soil........you'll find your nails far easier to clean afterwards.

RUTH'S SHOOTS

Keep separate tools for indoor and outdoor plants to reduce the risk of spreading diseases and pests.

RUTH'S SHOOTS

To remove rust from garden tools mix 2 tablespoons of salt with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Apply to the rust and rub hard.
