She revealed her creative, nifty, and most importantly, effective gardening hacks.
Jen (@organizedandsimplified4u) shared her tips and tricks with over 130,000 TikTok followers.
The professional covered her plants with a bowl and sprinkled cinnamon around them for a natural ant repellant.
For another creative ant and pest repellant, she doused some pantyhose in sunflower oil and tied the garment around a tree.
Next, she took paper tape to gently remove bugs from the leaves of her plants.
To stop slugs from crawling up her pots and into her garden, she applied a layer of Vaseline around the pots to stop them in their tracks.
The same worked for baking soda and coffee grounds as well.

Others shared their own tips in the comments.
“I use garlic water on my plants and that’s helped the slugs to stop munching on my plants,” said another gardening enthusiast.
