1. Sprout the pit of a used avocado
Open up and enjoy a delicious avocado, but this time, don’t toss the pit. Instead, grab 4 toothpicks and pierce them into the sides of the pit so they can hold the pit over the top of a glass of water. No need to stick them too deep, just enough to hold the weight of the pit itself.
