Posted by Magda,

You can go into any home improvement store to find plans for Compost Bins Homemade. These are the key factors in organic gardening, they make home grown food much more healthy and it is certainly cheaper than constantly buying fertilizer. I hate to say it but, most fertilizer you buy is made from road kill. It is sad but true. When you want to build a cheap compost tumbler, just refer to the books in the stores.

Patio Mister for Welcome Cooling

Posted by Dayle,

Many choice perennials will not flourish in an area where the soil is perpetually damp. But there is an easy way to reclaim an ill drained plot and that is called a scree garden, so called because its layers of stone chip resemble a real scree, one of those collections of loose broken rocks deposited by erosion at the foot of mountain slopes.  A scree garden is a small, man made rock garden especially constructed to drain efficiently.  It can have much of the variety and beauty of a full fledged rock garden, and offer the same welcome contrast to regular beds and borders.  A patio mister under your patio roof will give welcome cooling during the summer.

Garden Colors

Posted by Dani,

Nature’s first lesson to the flower gardener is that flowers need to be planted in drifts of clumps large enough to make a visual difference when viewed from the farthest vantage point.  Nothings more ineffectual than a few spindly flowers checkering the border with odd colors.  Large masses of flowers are more dramatic and satisfying, and as your plants grow and you divide them over the years, you will be able augment the areas where color harmonies appear and move the plants that detract into a large mass elsewhere. Start small that way your few perennials will at least be massed together.  Expand the gardens as your plants give you divisions, cuttings, or seed.  Get Clumping Bamboo For Sale as a beautiful back drop for flowers.

Raised Garden Beds

Posted by Temeka,

Garden beds that are raised add a new concept to the experience of gardening. These beds are raised mainly to be useful for the gardener that has a limited space for gardening, and is easy to reach for the disabled, those with arthritis, and the elderly. These raised garden beds can be built at a level that reduces aches and pains caused by bending or kneeling on the ground for any length of time. Plants generally grow better in elevated beds than they do in the ground because compacting of the soil will not occur plus the drainage is much better. Elevated garden beds usually get warm quicker in the spring and continue to stay warm during fall which means your growing season will be longer.
