'dill's home?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'dismiss housing price wasted' is the wordplay.
'dismiss' becomes 'sack' (synonyms).
'housing' is an insertion indicator.
'wasted' indicates an anagram.
'price' anagrammed gives 'picer'.
'sack' placed around 'picer' is 'SPICE RACK'.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for spice rack that I've seen is " Storage for cloves, garlic etc".)
