When planting your garden, a ruler comes in handy. Sure, you could dirty up your good ruler or yardstick. Here’s what to do instead…

You need to calculate distances and depths when planting seeds or bulbs …or at what height your beautiful plants should be harvested. So, turn the handles of your tall tools into rulers. Account for the number of inches from the tip of the tool to the start of the handle and, at the start of the handle, mark off and number each inch with a waterproof pen. Measure your small tools as well, and assign each a number for its length in inches. Use colorful poker chips to mark the measured spots where you plan to plant or to indicate rows or whatever you need to mark in the dirt.
