5. Keep your garden boots fresh
When your work shoes (or sneakers) start to smell, put a little baby powder in your insole. The powder will draw out the moisture, which will prevent mold and odors from forming.
6. Keep rabbits away
Try adding a little baby powder to young seeds to keep rabbits from hitting the plants. (For older plants, try garlic powder.)
7. Beetle
If Japanese beetles are infesting your garden and making a buffet of your favorite plants, sprinkle the leaves with baby powder. Love to Know suggests reapplying the baby powder after it rains until beetle season is over.
8. Keep Visitors Away at Night
Rabbits and beetles aren’t the only animals that fear this magical white powder. Raccoons and opossums will avoid their vegetables if you surround them with baby powder. The feeling of gunpowder on their paws irritates these creatures, so they stay away.
9. Coating Tools
Keep your hands free of blisters by cleaning your tools with baby powder. The powder also keeps your hands from slipping while you work.
