Want some clever gardening hacks? Let's face it, gardening takes more than just putting the seeds in the dirt and pouring in a little water then leaving it. It takes so much more than that and while it can be a lot of fun, it can get a little frustrating too. However, when you research and use the right tips and tricks for gardening, you will realize it gets easier and actually works out the way you need it to. There are many tips to making the whole gardening experience easier and much more exciting. Among the most challenging elements of the gardening experience, the weeds are the most annoying, especially when they get entangled in your delicate plants and flowers.
Incorporating everyday objects and materials into your gardening, such as a plastic fork for warding off animals is more than enough to make the activity much more fun. Below we will outline a few tips you can add your hobby.
Here are 12 clever gardening hacks that you are going to love.

1. Make It Easier to Identify Where You Planted Each Seed
Sometimes when you plant a few different seeds, you may not always remember where they are sown. One way to make this easier and get more creative is to use stones that you can paint the name of each seed on. You can source a stone cutter and shape the stone and then add the names to them. This is my favorite of these clever gardening hacks!
2. Use Plastic Forks to Ward off Animals from Your Garden
Animals can be another annoying factor in your gardening experiences. You can easily keep them out by sticking used plastic forks in the soil between plants. They won't want to get hurt so they'll stay out.
