Imahe
Plants don't normally require a lot of care and are great to have around for numerous reasons. However, there's a problem. What will you do with your plants if you have to go away for a few days or more? They're like quiet pets which you can't take with you on trips and which have to be watered on a regular basis. The solution is quite simple: DIY self-watering planters . Yes there are quite a few fancy self-watering planters available in stores as well but they tend to be pretty expensive whereas these ones are super cheap and easy to make.

Keeping Your DC-Area Home Rodent-Free in 2019

He had been in business for eight years in our local Chattanooga market. About this time, I found myself doing something that wasn't really my place to do. You see, I'm a coach and a problem solver by trade. It's how I make my living and I'm really good at getting positive results for painters. So, before I knew it – almost reflexively – I'm quizzing Brian about the things that matter most for 20...
