Hack 1: Create a Garden Sifter for Soil and Compost
Transform your torn window screen into a garden sifter to help you refine soil and compost. Simply cut the screen to fit over a wooden frame or an old picture frame. Secure it tightly using staples or nails. This DIY sifter can be used to separate rocks and debris from soil, ensuring a finer texture for planting. It’s also perfect for sifting compost, allowing you to remove larger, undecomposed materials. This hack not only recycles your screen but also enhances your gardening efforts.
Hack 2: Craft a DIY Pet Door Screen
If you have a pet that loves to roam in and out, consider using a torn window screen to create a DIY pet door. Cut the screen to fit the size of your pet and attach it to the bottom of your existing screen door using adhesive Velcro strips. This allows your pet to push through the screen easily while keeping bugs out. It’s a cost-effective solution that provides convenience for both you and your furry friend.
