DIY Plant Support from Old Brooms
Dr Meena Singh, a gardening enthusiast, has found a clever way to reuse old broomsticks.
Instead of throwing them away, she takes them apart and uses the bamboo sticks to make a support for climbing plants.
She arranges the sticks into a square shape and ties them together with wire or rope.
This support can be placed in a pot or garden bed to help plants like cypress vine grow upwards.
The idea came from her mother, Usha Singhal, and shows how everyday waste can be turned into something useful for plants.
After about 45 days, the plants grow well around the structure, making it a practical and creative solution for gardeners.
