This inexpensive DIY project makes starting or growing plants a whole lot easier by automatically keeping the soil at just the right moisture level. All you need is a 2 liter bottle and some string.
ASBloom shows you how to make these clever planters on the Skruben blog. Basically, you cut the bottle in half, and thread some string or yarn through the bottle cap. Then invert the top half into the base and add your plants and soil.
The yarn acts as a wick and the plants will take the water as they need it. Even better for those of us with black thumbs: The clear bottles help you see when the water needs refilling.
(Note: If you need a larger planter, you can instead use a milk jug and some foam for your automatic watering needs.)

If you're the type to shave with a safety or straight razor then you probably already know it's best to keep the shaving cream warm for the most comfortable shave. The Art of Manliness points out it's easy to do by storing your shaving cream cup in the sink and filling it with hot water.
The reason most of us lose remote controls is because they don't have a specific place to go. They might end up on a coffee table, an end table, or just slide behind the couch. Redditor actusual was sick of losing remotes, so he stuck them to a coffee table with velcro.
There's no shortage of ways to get most juice from a citrus fruit, but this one is pretty handy if you don't have any other tools available but need to get the most juice out of a pile of key limes: use a garlic press. Half of a key lime fits in nicely, and the pressing action is the same as a handheld juicer.
