Let Them Fall

Gardeners are being shown how to use hollowed-out pumpkins as natural planters, a seasonal twist on container gardening. The idea is to fill carved pumpkins with soil and plants, letting the shell compost into the ground over time. It is being promoted as a fall-friendly, low-waste gardening project for the autumn season.

A developer has released Magic Switch, a utility that lets users share an Apple Magic keyboard, trackpad or mouse between two Macs, switching control between them with ease. The tool echoes Apple's Universal Control but targets setups where that feature falls short, and it is drawing attention among Mac users and developers on tech forums.
