How to hacks: Store (damn near) everything: Fertilizer bags

How to hacks

How to hacks help keep me sane. And maybe from becoming a hoarder. Maybe. They also make it so I don’t throw away things I already paid for, like fertilizer or grass seed. That’s the thing about stuff. No matter what it is, it’s going somewhere.

How to hacks can help you from becoming a hoarder. Maybe.

But not just anywhere. PLEASE! That is hoarding! (Or at least kinda sloppy)…I’m going with hoarding. Anyway…

When it comes to storing stuff, I take what I call a SWAT team approach, which means: The measure of a good storage hack isn’t how well something is secreted away. Hell, I can hide anything. It’s more of an equation.

How well it’s hidden + how readily I can get it when I need it = __________

So here’s one of my how to hacks for storing leftover lawn fertilizer or grass seed until its needed again.

-Open bag. Cut the bag open with a sharp knife. Cut evenly across the top. 

-Leave it. Leave an inch or so attached to form a tab.

-Use it. I usually end up with about half a bag of fertilizer or seed left.

-Tie it. Scrunch (not sure I ever typed that word before) the top of the bag. Take a wrap with the tab, then tie a knot tightly around the top of the bag. This seals out moisture and helps prevent spills.

And this is one of those how to hacks that can mollify your inner cheapskate. No need to use or buy other things to save money.
