Enhance Your Yard by Adding a Pond

Author: StefanHyross

For an instant focal point to your backyard, think about building a pond. The soothing music of water erupting from a fountain will be sure to help you relax. However, before you begin digging, there are a few things to remember to create the perfect backyard oasis.

The first thing you should do is to call your municipality to make sure that there are no gas or electric lines buried underneath the area you have selected for your pond. Older trees will have significant root systems so try to stay away from them. For everyone’s enjoyment, select a spot that can be seen from most of the garden. Alternatively, you can tuck it away in a corner and profusely landscape the area so that it becomes a little retreat.

Contour the size and shape of your water feature with a string. Shapes are restricted when using a pre-formed pond. When using a liner you can allow your creativity run wild. When you begin digging, keep in mind the plateau for the plant terrace which will be about eight inches down and one foot wide for liners or determined by the size of your pre-formed pond. Now would be a good time to double check that the pond’s edges are level. Unless you have a power source near the pond, don’t forget to dig a shallow trench to bury the PVC pipe that will house the electric cord.

To prepare the base of the water feature, line it with about one inch of sand. The terraced steps should also be covered by sand. If using a pre-formed pond, place it in the pit. Otherwise, begin laying down the liner. Trim four feet longer and wider than the actual water feature will aid. Push the liner down and smooth out any creases.

You may now begin to fill the pond. With a pre-formed liner, you want to begin backfilling the space underneath the pond and time it so that you are finished at about the same time the pond is filled. In the option of a liner, keep in mind to continue pulling the liner taunt. If you are utilizing a pump to work a fountain or waterfall, place it at the bottom of the pond and hide the cord.

Decorating up your pond can be great fun. Begin by laying down flat rocks around your pond and stagger a second layer for a natural look. Hang over the rocks a bit over the water. Lay the cord for your pump in between rocks and camouflage it with another flat rock.

Landscaping around your water feature should not be rushed. Is your goal to have the pond blend in with the rest of the garden or do you want it to be highly visible? You should keep at least one side clear of plants to make it accessible. Designing a feature on one side and one end while leaving the rest of the pond clear is a popular landscaping option. Also remember to choose plants that will do well in a moist environment.

Now is the time to appreciate your hard work. In most cases, water features can be one weekend projects. Take the plunge. Include one to your garden and be ready to receive lots of compliments.

The key to planting beautiful, bountiful planters that will make your neighbors jealous, we have a few basic rules to follow:

1) The Bigger, the Better! Select a large decorative container. 18” – 24” works best.

2) Plant the container where you would like to keep it, or put it on a plant dolly. It will be heavy.

3) Make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. If there are none, drill a few in a triangle pattern. The planter should also have a saucer.

4) A drainage medium should be placed in the bottom of the pot, about 2” deep. Recycle broken terra cotta pots or Styrofoam peanuts as your medium. Pebbles work well also, but are heavy.

5) Choose a quality blend of soil. Your plants are only as good as the soil they are planted in. The soil should be loose and light. Fresh potting soil should be used each year for best results.

6) Choose your plants. You will need a variety of plants in different heights, colors and textures for the best effect. This is where you need to use your creativity. Don’t think you have any? Have a child help you. Or, plan ahead. Look in magazines or on the web and write down the names of the plants before you go shopping.

a) First, choose a centerpiece. A tall plant with interesting foliage work best. Suggestions for sun: Canna, Ornamental Grasses, Mandevilla on a trellis, tall flowering perennials (Coneflower, Black Eyed Susan, Penstemon Husker Red) or a shrub such as Sky Pencil Holly. For shade: Calla Lillies, Caladiums, Day Lillies, Spikes or Hydrangea.

b) Next, choose trailing plants. More than one variety works best. Choose three: Two flowering and one foliage variety and alternate them around the planter. Proven winners are always a great choice, and are easily available at garden centers and nurseries. Be sure to look for varieties that will do well where you plant them. Sun or Shade.

c) Last, choose your filler plants. Medium height, bushy plants. Choose one flowering and one foliage variety. Pick colorful plants. Hosta and coleus are great fillers for sun or shade. There are some varieties of Hosta that will tolerate more sun than others, so read the label.

d) When putting all this in your planter, install the plants as they are listed. Fill the pot about half way and place your centerpiece. Then fill around it until the planter is about 2/3 full and install your trailing plants. You may need to adjust the amount of soil depending on the size of the pots you purchased. Place all the plants and then gently fill in around the plants with soil one handful at a time. Be sure to press down between the plants to avoid air pockets. Water thoroughly and re-check the soil levels. Settling may occur, fill in wherever necessary.

7) The final and most important steps for Beautiful, Lush planters are food and water. For large luscious, stunning planters…water, water! Do not let your planters wilt between waterings. The best time to water is early morning, before 10 am. This will keep them stress free during the heat of the day. Planters in full sun will require more frequent watering (often daily) than those in part sun or shade. Plants that are stressed from lack of water will not bloom well or flourish.

A good quality organic fertilizer will keep your plants happy and healthy. Some organic fertilizers are slow release, so feedings are less frequent. Read the label for feeding schedule. A water soluble fertilizer we recommend is Merrill’s Compost Tea. Just drop one tea bag into one gallon of water, let it steep for 20 minutes to one hour and then water your plants as normal. Feed with this product every 2 weeks throughout the growing season and your planters will amaze you!

This process is how the professionals do it. Design and build your planters as early in the season as your area will allow for maximum enjoyment.

Protecting Your Corn From Weeds

Author: MatthewKepnes

Weeds are often present in corn fields that are lacking in pre-emergence herbicide. If weeds are present, it’s likely that the cause could be attributed to weather constraints, and it is important to control weeds in order to protect the corn yields. In areas such as Louisiana, the farmers are burdened with overwhelming weed control problems. Their yields have slipped due to weeds and they are facing losses. Many fields have excessive amount of weeds and no amount of herbicide can get a good yield. This has been a cause for concern for most corn growers, who are afraid to lose their crops. The most difficult part is that weeds grow very rapidly, and removal methods don’t prove to be helpful. They grow again even before a corn plant has the change to thrive.

The term critical period is utilized to determine for how long the weeds will be allowed to compete with the crop till the corn gets damaged. To obtain maximum yield, all weeds must be removed before they reach the critical period. Timely weed management to protect the corn plants is a fundamental feature for all crop growers and is majorly undertaken to maximize the corn yield potential. Killing the weeds is an essential step to achieve the goal of weed management.

If any weeds grow within the patch, hoe between the rows. Make sure you don’t hoe too deep or you may damage the stalks and roots. You can also spread mulch around the base to control the weeds and help to conserve the moisture. The concern for timely weed management in order to protect your corn yield becomes crucial in the post emergence herbicide corn systems. Most research universities recommend the use of herbicides in the earlier pre plant and pre-emergence period as an excellent option to reduce weed management risks. One important result of soil applied herbicides is that they promote good plant posture by reducing the pressure applied by the weeds.

Toxic fungi affecting corn is another issue that agriculture researchers are taking seriously. If a bacterium is found then it’ll be a boon for farmers to protect their corn against weeds and other pests. Corn growers can sigh of relief now that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently approved Balance Flexx herbicide from Bayer CropScience. These chemicals help farmers control over 50 varieties of weeds. This protects corn from weeds. These herbicides eliminate kochia, wooly cup grass, and other more resilient weeds, while still providing excellent crop safety. It also works through the roots and shoots of weeds to provide exceptional burn down and enduring control.

A 100% weed control is the ultimate goal of a soil applied herbicide treatment. The weeds that are generally targeted include giant foxtail, woolly cup grass, small seeded annual broadleaf weeds, and giant ragweed. Similar to the pests that attack and ruin the corn, the presence of weeds is very unpleasant. You must do everything you can to prevent these pests that will harm the yield of your corn.

Matt has been growing corn for years and finds it an easy but time consuming crop to grow. For more information on growing corn, check out his website for corn growing tips and about how to fertilize corn plants.

Growing Plants in a Garden

Author: MatthewKepnes

When you buy a house you want to have a wonderful garden where children can play and you can sit back and unwind. A garden is one place where we feel we are one with Nature and enjoy the small pleasures of life. But without potted plants and flowers, a home garden is incomplete. Before you choose the plants to grow in your home garden, walk around the neighborhood and take note of what kinds of plants are being planted. That’ll give you an idea of what grows in your area.

You can visit your local nursery and ask for their advice, which will help you select the type of plants you will grow in your home garden. The most common plants are flowering ones, such as roses. To add a cheerful look to your garden, consider getting some sunflowers. Flowering houseplants, like Clivia or Kaffir Lily add vibrancy and a touch of the exotic. The most popular exotic house plant and garden favorite, Sambac, brings the most wonderful aroma into your home garden. Cactus is one tropical plant that doesn’t need any special care. It can grow in any weather and is easy to care for.

If you are an avid gardener then you can have a patch in your garden for vegetables. Grow tomatoes, broccoli, luscious rutabaga and green vegetables in your home garden. Greens and lettuce, cumin plant and mint can also be grown as an herbal patch in your garden. If you are living in an apartment then have a few pots on your window sill of mint, tulsi, bamboo, aloe vera and curry leaves. Apart from flavor, these plants also have medicinal traits.

If you wish to plant trees that can give out fragrance then silk mimosa will be an ideal choice. This fast growing tree has attractive fragrance and its pink flowers add beauty to its fern like leaves that are shaped like a dome. Bamboo is another tree that can be grown in your garden. The Chinese say that bamboo has mystical properties that allow it to attract wealth and prosperity. Who wouldn’t want to attract those qualities?

Quality soil and sufficient water are essential to a garden for plants, flowers and trees to grow. Organic gardening is one of the safest and healthiest options out there. One of the most important secrets in organic gardening is tending to the soil. Soil is the main key to growth. A manure-rich soil will ensure that your produce will be thriving and healthy. If you add too many chemicals to the soil, it won’t be as fertile anymore. Allow earthworms and other creatures to naturally aerate the soil. These worms while moving around, ‘till’ the soil that allows air to enter beneath and allow the soil to remain fertile. Use organic pesticides if you want to ensure the health of the soil and the plants. Adding dead leaves, grass and plant material will enhance the richness of the soil. This is called mulching. Manure that is rich in soil nutrients is cow dung. Many gardeners and farmers use it.

While watering your garden, see to it that it is evenly spread. Drip irrigation is one of the most important aspects of watering a garden. Nature balances itself beautifully. It is our duty to keep nature intact so that it can help us to lead a healthy and joyful life on this planet earth.

Hardscape Design

Author: admin

The term hardscape refers to landscaping structures constructed from inorganic materials that work toward sculpting the overall landscaping design. These structures include many things such as driveways, patios, walls, fencing, and drainage. The design of hardscape must always be treated as a very critical and precise art. Since the human mind naturally gravitates toward a sense of order and system, manmade structures on the landscape must be carefully engineered so as to give form to organic essence and compliment to architectural style. They must always work to develop the aesthetic of the home and the terrain in a way that magnifies its true essence. They must never clash with their surroundings in a way that diminishes aesthetic for the sake of mere pragmatic function.

Materials selection is very important to hardscape design. Different materials allude to different states of mind and contribute individual aesthetic elements unique unto themselves. The feeling we get from a brick walkway is not going to be the same as the feeling we get from a concrete sidewalk. Depending on the theme of both home architecture and the surrounding landscape, hardscape materials will ultimately be chosen that will unify the home with the landscape in such a fashion as to clearly establish a corresponding theme between the two. Wood may be chosen to create a simple, traditional sensibility in even the most meticulously constructed of outdoor rooms. Concrete patios may be built chosen to establish the stark contrasts that predominate contemporary design. Stone work ranging from cut stone to limestone and tile can be used to create any number of thematic connotations ranging from a formal Old World entryway to a wilderness fa

Looking for some thrifty living tips to get your spring started? Spring is the time of renewal and growth. Everything seems fresh and new. It’s the perfect time to renew your plan to live a more thrifty life. Here are 5 tips to get you started:

Gardening: It’s gardening season – time to prepare your soil. One thrifty gardening tip is to begin working in the compost you have been making all year. Take the rich dark compost soil, put around 2 inches of it on the garden and work it into the top 5 inches of the garden.

Developing your own compost is a huge money savings, so if you don’t already have a compost, get one started. You can purchase a commercial compost bin, or make your own. The size of the bin you will be working with will depend on the space you have available. You can either enclose an area with boards or just decide on an area you want to use, loosen the dirt out at least a foot down, add your kitchen scraps and turn into the dirt on a regular basis. You can also add leaves and lawn clippings from the yard. Be sure to mix the scraps into the dirt well and keep the compost moist.

Planting Another step to thrifty gardening in the spring is getting your seedlings started. A great way to plant your seedlings is in pots made from old newspaper. To do this, get the newspaper moist, using two containers that are the same size, line one with the newspaper and press in with the other container. Remove the second container and let the newspaper dry. Use this to plant your seeds, and when your plants come up and are ready to plant in the garden, you can plant the newspaper pot and all. The newspaper will decompose over time.

Tools, Pots and Planters If you don’t have gardening tools or yours need replaced, start looking at yard sales, thrift stores and secondhand stores. Often you will find near new tools at these venues. For pots and planters, look around to the things you already have. You can use practically anything as a planter, such as an old pair of boots, or an old barrel or metal pail. Use your imagination and use what you already have.

Mulch Old newspaper is a thrifty option for mulch in the garden. Shred a bunch of newspaper and place around the bottom of your plants. This will help hold moisture and heat.

Watering If you are allowed to catch rain water in your area, this is the perfect way to save money on watering your garden and yard. Check your local regulations since catching and using rain water isn’t legal in some areas.

Another thrifty watering trick is to cut the bottom off of liter soda bottles, push the neck of the bottles down into the ground around your plants, then fill with water. The water will soak in slower than just watering with a sprinkler.

We all are looking for ways to get garden crops sooner, or get more of them. One way to get an early jump is to use a cold frame to start your seedlings.

The gardening season can’t start early enough for most of us. For those in the northern states the gardening season seems like it may never start, and it’s just too short for some long season warm weather vegetables like okra or some melons. For those in the south, it would seem that the growing season is long enough, but with the very hot summer months some crops just either won’t survive the heat and dry weather, or even if they do survive they won’t produce much when temperatures get above 80 or 85 degrees. This includes some of the old standby favorites like tomatoes or even bell peppers.

While many vegetables can be started indoors, one problem with doing that is that they get acclimated to either greenhouse or indoor conditions, and can be ill suited to set out early in the season when the night time temperature swings can be at their most extreme, and these tender seedlings can be easily damaged by temperatures close to freezing. One way to help them acclimate is to “harden them off” which is basically a methodology of slowly introducing them to the harsh outdoor environment.

The old standby tool for doing this is s cold frame. A cold frame is similar to a raised bed garden, as it can sit above the main garden, but it is covered with either a poly window or even a glass window.

A cold frame differs from a hot bed in that a hot bed usually incorporates an additional heating source, and doesn’t depend only on the solar heating of the sun shining through the window like a greenhouse. These additional heat sources can be as varied as a simple resistance wire electric heater to situating the bed over a manure pile.

A cold frame can be made from a wide range of construction materials. Probably the simplest might be to stack bales of hay around the bed, and to place a discarded window over the bales of hay. Or instead of bales of hay a wooden box can be constructed to fit the window, and form a tighter seal from outside air. You can improve the performance of the cold frame by adding weather sealing to reduce the air infiltration.

If you are going to be using the frame in some warmer temperatures, it may be best to have the window on hinges so that it can be propped up to allow some air circulation and regulate the temperatures so that the plants inside don’t over heat.

There are many commercial cold frames as well. Some are simple polyurethane tents that fit over just a few plants. Others are large raised beds that actually are designed to stay in place the whole gardening season, with a removable cover that is only there during the colder days of the growing season.

Cold frames can also be used to help perennials over winter in colder temperatures. Cold frames are a great addition to any gardeners set of tools, and can either be made or purchased in a size to fit your specific gardening needs.

You can lean more about all types of raised bed gardening, including using cold frames in the garden, and especially starting tomatoes in cold frames at http://raised-garden-bed-kits.com/cold-frames/

Top Tips on Giving a Garden Makeover

Author: VincentNorman

Gardens need makeovers, too, for many reasons. These include changes in the soil conditions, change in seasons, change in lifestyle preferences and even just a change of mind! Whatever the reason, these top tips on giving a garden makeover will help you get the job complete to a high standard and in no time at all.

Plan Before Buying

Plants can be expensive and doubly so when they wither and die unexpectedly, in which case you would have to replace them. Therefore, it is always best to plan your garden according to your preferences such as; colours, seasonality and plant quality before purchasing from the nursery.

Even when you can ask from your family and friends for the plants themselves, you still will have to spend out on containers and fertilisers, not to mention investing your time. Therefore it is advised that you plan and research before planting and growing.

Think in Containers

Often, you only need to transfer existing garden plants to new containers to see them in a different light. Think fun, fashionable and fabulous containers to dress up an otherwise common-looking plant. You can think of this garden makeover activity as changing the look of an outfit with the right accessories.

You can also rearrange the plants in unusual designs, at least in terms of your previous preferences. For example, instead of the usual Shakespeare-themed garden, you can have a Japanese-themed garden makeover.

Speaking of accessories, the right statues, chairs and tables, ornaments, jars and even garden umbrellas can change an entire look and feel to a garden. Find inspiration from the houses architecture itself since you want to complement it with the gardens structure, not clash with it.

Go for Annuals and Perennials

Although some gardeners will not mix the two plant types, when it comes to garden makeovers, you will be surprised at the difference it makes. You can fill your garden with perennials like lilies, daisies and black-eyed Susan’s and then add splashes of colour with annuals like petunias and pansies.

Look into garden design books to find ideas on how to mix and match these plant types to suit your gardening tastes and skills. You will discover new trends as well as classic arrangements that ought to withstand the test of time, or at least until the next garden makeover comes along.

Create Illusions

Gardens are meant to be fantasies come to life, so think of them as your own Garden of Eden that you can play with.

For example, create an illusion of a larger space with flower-adorned ornaments bordering a small flower patch, or an illusion of fairyland with twinkling lights in the trees. Your imagination is the only limit in your garden makeover.

Patronise Local Plants

When you want to save money on a garden makeover, one of the best ways to do so is to purchase from your local nursery. They ought to have more competitive prices and fresher stocks, which will be to your benefit.

Also, try to look for native plants. Not only will you be able to inject local touches into the garden but you will also be saving on cost because these plants are adapted to the environment. More adaptation, less care and less costs.

Indeed, garden makeovers can be easier than you first thought! Now, dig into the dirt and plant.

The most popular grass in the world is the Bermuda. There are many advantages in growing Bermuda grass. Let us know the basics of this unique plant.

Bermuda grass belongs to the Cynodon family. It is almost seen anywhere and that is why this is the most popular grass. Bermuda is a superior type of grass. It is drought resistant compared to other grasses. It can stand the full heat of the sun. It grows in any kind of soils. It does not require much maintenance.

Bermuda grows easily, and his highly resistant to changing weather conditions. It is a very tough plant that it requires little maintenance. A lawn grown with Bermuda can be a very good turf. It leaves a lush green color all year round. Its economical seeds grow on any climate. This is the reason why it grows in many areas.

Most types of grass are sensitive, but the Bermuda is different. It has a degree of tolerance from insects and other diseases. It does not easily wither even in times of drought. Its roots are very extensive underneath, that even if there is drought, the roots are able to sip water many feet under the ground.

Bermuda grass grows best at summer time with 65 to 75 degrees temperature. This is an important requirement next to the soil which should be moist. Make sure the lawn is watered properly and regularly after planting the seeds. Strictly monitor the soil temperature because soil has drastic temperature change and can adversely affect the germination of Bermuda grass.

Toil the area before planting the seeds. This involves removing all unwanted elements may hinder the growth of the Bermuda. Bury the seeds at just the right depth for the grass to start growing faster. Also make sure that the seeds are spread apart uniformly. Do not crowd the seeds too much or they will not receive the appropriate sunlight or water. Bermuda grass takes 60 to 90 days to complete germination.

Weed the lawn once in a while as just a part of your maintenance.
