CHEAP GARDENING. In September, October, and November, nurseries and garden centers typically reduce prices by 50 percent or more. They need to make room for Halloween pumpkins and Christmas trees. Pattye S., Washington

CANDLE WICK TRIMMER. As a long-time lover of jar candles, I was often frustrated with the manufacturer’s instructions to keep the wick trimmed to one fourth inch to ensure efficient burning. How was I supposed to maneuver a pair of scissors inside the narrow jar? My solution? Fingernail clippers. They are slim enough to fit inside the jar’s mouth, and easy to manipulate using only two fingers. Katrina B., email

LEMON TRICK. I usually use a little lemon juice in my stainless steel pots when they get stained from deposits. Just put a little lemon in the bottom of the pot, swoosh it all around, rinse with water and dry! Your pot will look as good as new. L.M., Michigan

CLEAN CEILING. After climbing up and down a ladder to clean my kitchen ceiling by hand with a sponge, I decided there had to be an easier way. I pulled out a new sponge mop that I had on hand, filled the sink with hot water, some dish soap and some vinegar and mopped my ceiling. I just rinsed out the mop in the sink, so I didn’t need a bucket. Since I have a white ceiling, I used a new, clean mop head. It only took a fraction of the time! Jacki B., email

COFFEE POT CLEANING. Sometimes cleaning the inside of a coffee pot can be challenging. Unless you have really small hands you can’t put your hand inside the pot. So put some salt in the bottom of the coffee pot and add some ice cubes. Swirl the mixture around and the salt will act as an abrasive. Your pots will sparkle like new! Sheila B., Illinois
