 Terracotta pots are totally on trend right now but their large drainage hole makes them messy accessories to have in your garden. Keep your patio tidy and avoid continuous cleanups by lining your plant pots with coffee filters. They'll stop soil falling out the bottom while their porous nature will ensure water can still drain away.

 Give yourself a break from constant watering by planting an upside-down filled drinks bottle in pots and flower beds. Wedge the bottle near the plant at least a few inches deep and water will gently seep out over a long period of time keeping the surrounding soil damp and moist. This handy hack is perfect if you're away from home for a long stretch too.

 Once you’ve enjoyed your morning eggs, don’t waste the eggshells – they're the perfect addition to your garden. Not only a free fertilizer and a great composting option, they also deter garden pests and even cats. Simply rinse them, crush them and spread them around the base of your plants for a multitude of benefits.

 This brilliant hack uses damp newspaper to smother weeds by starving them of light. It takes a little time to spread the paper around your plants but it means an end to the back-breaking work of pulling these horticultural pests out of the ground and it's pesticide-free. The best part is that the newspaper will decompose into mulch, which also feeds the soil.
