14. Reduce static cling in your dryer. Crumple up a ball of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil, and place it in the dyer with the clothes.
15. Frighten wild birds away from your vegetable garden. Run a string across your garden just a few inches above a row of plants.

Use Scotch Tape to attach the strips of aluminum foil along the string of string every few feet. The strips of reflective foil flapping in the breeze will scare away any birds.
