The little dibber
It’s fun to swizzle some FixIts into these dibbers and get the kids involved in planting seeds. The dibber helps give you a bit of depth in the soil before plopping the seed in.
It's Mental Health Awareness week soon (11th-17th May) and we're reminded how good it is, for all kinds of reasons, to go outside and get your hands dirty.
Pruning, digging, fixing things in your garden or on your balcony or windowsill. That's all part of it, isn't it? Plus, get the kids involved. Start 'em young, we say.
We've got some fab FixIts garden hacks for you to try. Are you a dibber, spoon, or fork kind of person? You choose. They're all fantastic fun to make and easy to use.

Create your own mini-trowel for you or the littluns to use. These little scoops are perfect for getting just the right amount of soil over the seeds. (And they’re easy to make!)
Once the seed has been dibbered and spooned, it’s important to loosen and turn the soil to aerate it and help it absorb water better.
Sometimes you need to do an emergency fix. Like this shed roof fix. The key thing is: it buys you time. Sure, you might need to fix it properly in the long-term but a simple blob of FixIts like this can help keep an expensive roof going for another year.
With Father's Day coming up, what better time to watch the father of FixIts, Chris Lefteri, doing a quick FixIts fix? This one is super simple and helps you save on the hassle, time and money of replacing an otherwise perfectly good chair.
See how Chris uses a hairdryer to merge two bits of FixIts? That's a useful tip if you can't pop your FixIts in boiled water.
Check out Ali's boots. The laces were really frayed. Always getting soggy and wet, always flipping this way and that. Really annoying.
Never fear, FixIts is here and works really well on fabric. Give this a watch and then give it a go!
