Home & garden in January: 6 jobs worth doing now

Gurgling or cold at the top? There's air in the system – bleeding takes minutes.

Cold walls + moisture = mould risk. Air out after showering; aim for under 60% within an hour.

Sketch beds, plan crop rotation, sort seeds and list what's missing.

Snow usually slides off. Don't scrape with hard tools – you can scratch the glass.

Preheat while plugged in to save range. Charge right after driving – a warm battery charges faster.
