The gardener (@aussienation) shared her secret in a video with over 10,000 TikTok followers.

She used a mesh laundry bag and an unused tomato cage she had to create a makeshift planter.

She placed the cage over plants that were being eaten by pests, then for the last step, place the laundry bag over the cage to keep pests out.

The gardener explained that she purchased the laundry bag from Dollar Tree for just $1.25, adding the hashtag #dollartreehacks.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her hack.

Some wished that they had found out about her hack earlier: “Why didn’t you tell me this before the caterpillars ate my plants!” said one.

“Well there’s always next year, thank you for sharing.”

“That’s so f***ing smart,” said another.

“Great way to keep the giant tomato moths off your plants,” said a third.

“Haha genius!” complimented a fourth.

Others were excited to try out the hack: “I’m going to try this with my strawberries the birds keep eating,” said one.

“And I will be doing this for sure!! What?” said another.
