Everyone knows about the harm of plastic utensils, but for some reason summer residents collect plastic forks with genuine enthusiasm.
They found three ways to use this trinket in the garden. Disposable plastic forks protect against pests and help keep the beds tidy.
1. This is the simplest. Forks help keep uninvited guests out of the beds.
Many gardeners stick forks in with the tines facing up. Such a "picket fence" can prevent cats from making a bed in the soft and fluffy greenery or deter them from making a toilet in the garden bed.
2. You can support low-growing crops. For example, strawberry branches, which often fall to the ground under the weight of berries.
To avoid having to wash the berries off the soil later, it is enough to make a support from a plastic fork or several.
Cleaning up and throwing away this junk at the end of the season won't be too difficult.
3. With the help of these useless objects you can set the direction for the growth of creeping plants.
An example could be the tendrils of the same strawberries or the creeping vines of cucumbers and zucchini, as well as watermelons, melons and pumpkins.
