1. Use Newspaper To Stop Weed Growth
We have some good news for anyone who has been letting their crumpled old newspapers pile up in a corner of their home. Instead of letting all of that paper go to waste, take it outside to the garden and use it to fight against stubborn weeds.

Newspaper is the perfect DIY home gardening solution when it comes to stopping weeds in their tracks. Just lay out some sheets and layer some soil on top. The newspaper is thin enough to allow moisture to run through it during waterings, but it creates a barrier that keeps weeds from growing or spreading around the garden.
