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.
This idea came to us whilst visiting South Korea, sharing the story of FixIts with amazing people there. We were so inspired every time we sat down to eat, we had to have a go at making these chopsticks rests and trainers ourselves. They're fun to make, unique to you, and a great talking piece.
Give it a go if you fancy it? As ever with FixIts, it's easy to use and endlessly reusable, so unlike the delicious food you are about to eat, you can't make a meal out of it.
We’ve all been there. Something is a bit wobbly and needs a tightened screw. You reach out for the wing nut. It’s gone.
Nightmare.
Don't waste time hunting for a replacement. Just make your own one. It's exactly what FixIts was made for. In minutes, you can use FixIts to make your own wing nut.
Here's the pro tip: dip it in cold water to speed the set.
Simple as that.
We've got your back. Well, your wing nut.
Keep your milk fresh for longer and skip the messy spills with these homemade Fixits milk bottle tops.
They're fun to make, they look good, and you can even colour-code them using different FixIts shades, which is handy if more than one bottle lives in your fridge.
