Do you have a habit to eat on your computer keyboard?

Do you have tons of the crumbs and whatever  else happily accumulated there?

You are not alone!

After you bought a new keyboard – clean and new (which will look exactly like a twin of the old one in a less than a couple of month), what are you gong to do with the old one? Why not give it one more chance of green life? It definitely deserves it simply due to the fact that if you don’t clean the keyboard regularly, it becomes five times as dirty as a toilet seat!

By using a little bit of your time and creativity, you will get a green out of box looking office workspace.

1. Take some grass seeds and sprinkl them on the keyboard in between the keys.

2. Spray water on the sprouts once per 3 days. Don’t use tap water immediately, let the chlorine settle at the bottom of the water container.

3. Put the keyboard close to a window to let the plants get plenty of light.

4. If the temperature in the room is lower than 20C, put some plastic food wrap on top of the keyboard. You just got a real mini green house! Congratulations!

For the next 2 weeks you will get a beautiful green keyboard lawn. Doesn’t it look great? Just make sure you experiment with your own keyboard…and make sure you won’t need it again…at least not for typing!
