Thrifty gardeners do not like to throw away things that can still be useful in the household.
Socks that have lost their presentable appearance can be useful at the dacha, in the garden or vegetable garden.
Storage of small items
No dacha can do without various small and not so small items: nails, screws, screwdriver bits, ropes, seed packs, etc.
All these small things can be stored in socks. They are more reliable than bags that can tear. If the socks are worn out, they will not be difficult to sew up.
Plant garter
Old socks with holes can be left unsewn. They are cut into thin strips and used to secure the stems of tomatoes, cucumbers or peppers.
For garden shoes
In this case, there are two options. In the first, simply wear old socks under your country shoes.
In the second case, pour soda or salt into the sock, tie it up and put it in damp garden shoes or boots. The shoes will dry out, and as a bonus, the unpleasant smell will disappear.
