Boost The Light Your Plants Get

If you've already lined your garden area with foil to keep insects away, then this hack is just another added benefit. But, you can use aluminum foil to increase the amount of light that your plants get from the sun. There are two ways of doing this. You can simply cover the ground around your plant with aluminum foil and use rocks to hold it down, or you can line a shoebox with foil for small seedlings.

The shiny foil will reflect any surrounding light that hits it back onto your plants and keep sunbathed and happy. Of course, you might want to be careful that they don't get too much sun.
