Here is something I ran across in a garden book. Use those sticky traps in the garden to catch insects. I have some that I use to catch the rodents and they work really well, so why not in the garden. Take a wood dowel or good size stick and attack a clothes pin to it, I uses a zip tie. Clip the sticky glue trap to it and set it in the ground next to your plants. Also you can use sticky fly tape traps too.
What kind of garden trick can you share?

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

Old CD's - drill small hole, attach swivel and hang from wire near berry and tomato plants. When they swivel and flash it'll keep the birds away.
Plant in a trough, it'll hold water until the plant gets established. As it grows, add small amount of fertilizer to the dirt on each side and rake dirt up to the plant covering the fertilizer and part of the stem. Water in. Repeat again when taller.
This will feed and support the plant at the same time.
I've used old water bottles, cut in half, for plant starters. Make sure you put some holes in the bottom for drainage.
Taz I like that stand. I think I may have to build me one of those this winter. I'm bettin that would make a great stand for some herbs and greens.
OS, I do something very similar with my maters. I'll dig a hole deep about 12" deep and bury the plant up to the top 4 leaves and place a 14" PVC pipe in the hole with the plant. When they need watering, I take a 2L coke bottle full and turn it up in the pipe. It puts the water directly to the roots and there is little to no evaporation. Makes it easy to mix up some liquid fertilizer and apply it to the roots as well.
