Considering a Greenhouse For Your Backyard

landscapeliving — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:16:53 +0000

Do I need a greenhouse? Deciding is as simple as considering the climate zone in which you live and the number of warm weather plants you have in your landscape. Most people think of a greenhouse as a large transparent structure like those used by lawn and garden stores that would take up the majority of a normal sized backyard.

This simply is not the case. There are a variety of do-it-yourself greenhouse kits now available that range from small 6 x 8 coldframe greenhouses to large 20 x 50 structures. Before you delve into making a major purchase of a greenhouse simply because the winter is coming, it is best to determine whether you truly need a greenhouse for your backyard garden area….

The truth is, string trimmers are not that difficult to use and they are very handy to have around the yard. String trimmers can be used to trim grass next to trees, walls, fences and other items that you canâ€™t get too close to with a conventional lawn mower…..

Simple Methods For Lawn Aeration

landscapeliving — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:08:46 +0000

No matter how well you maintain your lawn throughout the years, it will still need to be aerated in order to maintain good water and air flow to the soil. In order for water and air to penetrate the soil properly, there should be small pockets, like pores, that allow for the air and water to flow properly. Over time, though, foot traffic, grass clippings and debris will begin to close off those pockets, making it harder for water and air to penetrate the soil. When this happens, the soil and grass will no longer be able to breathe properly.So how do you go about lawn aeration?
