But what happens when you want to trim a branch that’s 10 or 12 feet in the air? You can’t easily reach it with the loppers, but you can extend the handles with a PVC pipe.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go out and buy a 10-foot-long PVC pipe and cut it in half. Then simply take the handles of the lopper and slip them inside the pipe. I used a 1¼-inch diameter pipe and it fits perfectly. Now, with five feet of extra reach, you can easily trim high branches without using a ladder.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Clean and Disinfect Cutting Boards</strong> — Cut a lemon in half crosswise, then sprinkle coarse salt onto the cutting board. Use the cut side of the lemon to scrub the salt into the cutting board. Scrub for 2 – 3 minutes, adding more salt, if necessary
