 LIFE HACK #286

If you have a basil plant take the small fresh leafs first and not the big old ones. The big leafs act as the main power source of the plant, taking all of them weakens the plant and it will slow down its growth.

LIFE HACK #287

If you live in a house that's constantly getting new wasps nests each year, you can easily stop them using a brown paper bag. Wasps are territorial creatures and tend to not start a hive that's too close to another one. 

So by blowing up some brown paper bags and stapling them around the perimeter of your house and where you would normally find a nest, you can discourage them from ever moving in again. 

LIFE HACK #288

Google Assistant has a feature called “Google Lens” that will tell you what kind of flower, plant, insect, or animal you’re looking at. It’s basically like Shazam, except for nature.
