It turns out that a matchbox can make life much easier for the owner of a country house.
Many gardeners complain about this problem: they need to measure out a certain amount of fertilizer, but they don’t have scales or a measuring spoon.
Of course, you can use a teaspoon or tablespoon, but these tools do not allow you to measure the weight of the feed with an accuracy of up to a gram.
But an empty matchbox can help you achieve the desired result.
An interesting dacha life hack was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
