Choosing the Right Riding Mower

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 0 comments

For most homeowners in the United States, the classic rotary lawn mower is more than enough for them to get their yard looking picture perfect. However, there are some homeowners who have yards that, simply put, are far too big for them to cut with the conventional rotary motor. Back in the day, before the advent of the mechanical lawn mower, homeowners who had lots of land on their property turned to nature's creatures to keep their grass nice and tidy. By letting their livestock graze on their land, property owners would keep their animals well fed while keeping their lawns looking presentable, with only minimal effort required to clean up any messes left by the animals. However, in this new day and age, there is a far easier and much cleaner option to livestock: the riding mower.

The riding lawn mower is an especially popular device with farmers and owners of large chunks of land that require mowing. The most popular of these riding mowers, as well as one of the oldest models of riding lawn mowers is the lawn tractor. Taking several design cues from its unofficial older brother, the classic farm tractor, this particular mower has survived for nearly fifty years.

The other overtly popular model of riding mower is what is known as the "z-turn" type. Like the riding mower, the Z-Type has the blades between the front and rear wheels, and has a seat. That's really about it as far as similarities go. Once you can get used to the driving style of the dual levers to control your turning, people who use the Z-Type of lawn mower swear by it for its ability to make sharp turns and cut around trees and bushes.

You may also want to take note that most riding lawn mowers are also able to be outfitted with snowplows, snowblowers, vacuums, and a bevy of other lawn care items.

Creating a Raised Bed

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 0 comments

Recall that acid soils contain a pH measurement below the normal 6.5-7.5 range. Depending on which area of the country you live in, the chances are good that at least a portion of your planned garden may contain acidic soils.

Of course, there are many more, but that will serve to give you an example of some. Also remember that acid soils tend to retain moisture, so you may need to work in a good amount of organic matter to assist drainage.

If you have determined that your soil is highly alkaline, and you really want to plant those azaleas or those rhododendrons, about the only way you're going to get successful results in your garden area is if you make them a special bed, called a raised bed. Typically, this structure is created from any number of woods, such as posts, railroad ties or stacked 2x4's. People also make raised beds out of brick and slump stones, but to keep costs down, wood is your best bet.

Gardening in raised beds has been practiced in the United States since the colonial days. It made a big comeback during the 60's, and then faded again, though the 21st century has seen a growing resurgence of popularity among home vegetable growers. In parts of the world with greater population densities or less tillable land, yard gardening is still heavily practiced.

"Raised" means that the soil level in the bed is higher than surrounding soil, and "bed" implies a size small enough to work without actually stepping onto the area used. A raised bed should be no more than 4 feet wide, while length can be whatever suits the site or individual gardener's needs. Wider beds can be subdivided into sections accessible from pavers, stepping-stones or planks if desired.

There are several different reasons for creating a raised bed, many of them practical, others more aesthetic in nature. Some of the most common reasons are:

Higher Yields: A raised bed provides more production per square foot of garden. In a traditional home garden, good management may yield about 0.6 pounds of vegetables per square foot while a raised bed may double that amount. In addition, raised beds do not require the usual space between rows, because no walking is done in the bed to cultivate or harvest.

Improved Soil Conditions: Typically, soil compaction reduces many crop yields by up to 50 percent. Water, air and roots all have difficulty moving through soil compressed by tractors, tillers or human feet, but gardeners can avoid the problem by creating beds narrow enough to work from the sides. Soil organic matter content can be increased greatly without getting bogged down.

Raised beds also help in problem soil situations where gardeners must deal with low spots unsuited for conventional gardens because of erosion from runoff. Raised beds, using frames as a foundation, avoid this issue and soil acidity can be maintained in the 5.8 to 6.8-pH range, which is preferable for most vegetables.

Easier Working Conditions: The most important benefit of gardening with raised beds is the increased ease of planting and harvesting. Many people avoid working traditional gardens in rainy weather to avoid compaction and muddy feet. Because raised beds are designed to avoid trampling, gardeners avoid muddy feet. Spaces between beds may be mulched or even paved with stone or brick.

Better Pest Control: Pest control also becomes less difficult in raised beds. If burrowing rodents are abundant, the bottom of the bed can be lined with poultry wire or hardware cloth. Placing favorite foods in a framed bed with a low fence can deter rabbits and groundhogs from raiding your vegetable garden. The narrow dimensions of raised beds make it easier to spread bird netting suspended on frames to keep them from pecking at leaves and vegetables, and weed control with plastic sheeting is much easier, as the width of the bed can be spanned by one roll.

Water Conservation: The narrow dimensions of beds make them ideal for water conservation. Canvas soaker hoses and drip-type irrigation hoses direct water to the soil where it is needed most and reduce disease problems which occur from watering with overhead sprayers or sprinklers.

Acid Loving Plants: It may be that your soil is acidic and you find yourself having to adapt to the plants and shrubs you have chosen for your garden to suit acid-loving plants, or you may also find that your soil is nearly perfectly balanced in pH levels and that you don't have acidic soils. You can choose some common plants that prefer acidic soil, such as:

1) Rock rose

2) Azalea

3) Rhododendron

4) Witch Hazel

5) Camellia

6) Bearberry

7) Dogwood

8) Trumpet Vine

9) Wisteria

Typically, this structure is created from any number of woods, such as posts, railroad ties or stacked 2x4's.

Weeding Tools, Tips and Techniques That Work

0 comments

Weeding tools are one piece of the solution. It's no secret that weeding consistently ranks as most individual's most unpopular gardening chore. But there is some good news in the battle over weeds: Homeowners tired of spending backbreaking hours in the yard pulling dandelions can rest a little easier thanks to proven procedures, clever tips and innovative weeding tools. Here are some pieces of advice from garden and lawn experts designed to make weed removal and prevention less of a problem, including:

Build up the lawn. Cultivating a strong lawn is one of the simplest ways to force out weeds. Dandelions and other common broadleaf weeds can't keep up with vigorously growing grass plants. The healthier and more lush your grass is, the less room there is for weeds.

Develop the soil. Conditioning the dirt is an easy way to cut down on weeds -- and make the ones that do sprout up easier to pull. Using peat moss is a very effective technique of getting the soil into shape. Sprinkle a layer of peat moss over the lawn and lightly spread it around with a rake. This procedure, called "top dressing," slowly conditions the lawn over the duration of a season so it's more resistant to thatch and disease - and helps keep weeds from growing. Peat moss also reduces the amount of fertilizer and water a lawn requires. It is also an effective addition to the garden. Till two inches of peat moss into the top half a foot of dirt to help loosen the soil and make it easier to pull weeds.

Aerate. Many weeds grow after the dirt has gotten compacted. You easily can reduce the probability of weeds taking over a compacted area by using an aerator, a garden tool that removes small plugs out of the ground and allows water and air to reach grass roots in frequently walk on areas. If you've got a big yard, think about renting a power aerator. They are often expensive, though, so it might be cheaper to gather a group of neighbors to rent one together. For small garden or isolated problem areas, hand operated aerator that removes plugs as you step is a good selection.

Be aware of timing. Go after weeds early in the season before they can have a chance to get to seeding and spread through a wider area. And removing weeds in late fall is a great way to get a jumpstart on spring yard care. Autumn weeds are more vulnerable as they store up nutrients for the winter.

Wait until it's wet. Pull weeds after the soil is damp Don't bother trying to yank weeds out of dry turf. It is much easier to pull weeds after a light rain, when the dirt is moist.

Choose ergonomic weeding tools. Manufacturers are developing ergonomic, stand-up weeding tools that don't put stress or strain on the body. One tool we especially like is the Rocket Weeder (www.yardbutlerstore.com), which will let you extract weeds while standing upright. You just step down on the foot pedal, tilt the tool and out comes the weed, root and all. Then press a button to expel the weed, and move onto the next one. It's actually fun to use, and you will be able to use it to pull dozens or even hundreds of weeds without much effort at all. Multi-use garden tools like a Rotary Cultivator or Twist Tiller will also be good additions to your arsenal in the war against weeds.

Get the roots. Whichever technique you use to pull weeds, make sure to get out every last bit of root, or you'll run the risk of having the backyard pest grow back even stronger than before.

How to Design a Japanese Garden

Sunday, March 28, 2010 0 comments

A Japanese garden is a traditional Japanese style, and can be designed and installed in the nearby park and private homes. Western gardens occasionally reproduce some characteristics of a Japanese garden.

When designing a Japanese garden, I remember that was the real or symbolic elements such as water, an island, a bridge that connects the island, near the lantern and a pavilion or a teahouse.

Properly designed Japanese gardenscan be used as gardens, which can be received with joy to be classified, from a building or sitting on a porch, the gardens of a buoy and garden, which can be viewed from a walk in a hut tea ceremony are available.

A "dry landscape" (Karesansui) type of Japanese garden does not contain water and some plants, or call a climate of water, which is full of pebbles and sand or gravel raked created. Rocks, with their fascinating shapes and patterns, mosses, and small andLow shrubs are widely used in developing this type of Japanese gardens.

Moreover, Japanese black pine and other evergreens, bamboos and related plants are part of the Japanese garden. Mosses and ferns are also used to create an atmosphere to mimic the water.

Japanese gardens are designed for different purposes, offers space for relaxation, entertainment and an exhibition of unusual rocks and rare species of plants designed.

The observers are taken on eachArea of the gardens to stroll along a deliberate path, which is one of the styles of Japanese gardens. To check the stroller at certain points in some areas that are uneven surfaces. If you watch the strollers, are appealing decoration at a party. This type of design and decoration is to hide when the Japanese landscape, "and reveals" the principle of note. The mind of the observer is illuminated and animated by the element of surprise.

In the design ofJapanese gardens, walkways, bridges, roads play an important role. If a stone mountain is not actually present or visible, are the Japanese Gardens in a position to represent the mountains.

The grouping of stones in the Japanese garden in a way that reflects the triangular shapes. Source of water in a Japanese garden should be part of the natural and lanterns are with them in a position of both sexes of the elements that represent the fire andWater.

A visit to buy plants at the nursery and seed store, a stop in hardware to buy gear gardenand choose a trip to the store garden furniture and barbecue. Stepping Stones, and lawn ornaments would be bought in a specialty store, while mulching the soil and would be purchased elsewhere.

The garden center offers all this and much more. Of course, the main concern is still available for plants and flowers, in the form of seeds, plants or mature plants and trees. Every garden center often has its own school, offers a variety of Plants and flowers. All basic needs can be easily collected gardening, including soil amendments, fertilizers, mulch and decorative stones. Stepping Stones, pavers and borders are also available.

All types of gardening is a garden center and available, from hand-cut blades for lawn mowers and trimmers. Pale, Weed Whackers, rakes, hoes and can be found, along with a garden hose, sprinklers and watering cans.

> Garden centers offer outdoor equipment and furniture. Here you can buy your barbecue grill, bar and outdoor garden furniture. You can also buy the fences, sheds, pavilions, stages and tents. Outdoor "rooms" have become very popular and many people enjoy decorating their exterior as a single compartment. Garden Center, this need that we have made mobile set of high quality, decor and collectibles, to create the atmosphere of living in gardenRoom.

Since gardening and lawn care can be complicated and time consuming, many garden centers also offer landscape. These services may require the design of gardens and outdoor life, the order for staff to complete all the landscaping work. You can also offer to cut the regular weekly or monthly services, such as landscaping or lawn care.

Some garden centers also offer seminars and workshops for the home garden or series of conferences andBook signings by authors of gardening materials. A laboratory can provide something as simple as the best time to plant in your climate, or as extravagant as they like to plan a wedding garden.

Snow blower for every need

Friday, March 26, 2010 0 comments

Manually remove the snow from the way U.S. and other places of work is hard work and can endanger your health if care is not taken. To prevent both health, we recommend, is called a snow plow or a snowblower how to use them.

Follow these tips before buying a snow plow given for you.

1. Assess the nature and structure of snow you're with. In particular, its density and it is difficult to move o. Also take into account the number of days and theInches of snow in one day

2. Always prefer the car for a test drive. With the help of a demo to get to know each other better on the car. Some shops have the opportunity to experiment in the courtyard.

How much does a snow plow?

Basically, it is difficult to give the exact amount of a snow blower, since the costs are constantly changing market conditions.

The cost of snow is firmly in the rule, based on the launch and the capacity of the machine. In a single stageMachine can not be loaded, where about $ 350 to $ 800. A two-stage machine can cost around $ 1000 or more.

The types of machines on the market

Blower machines are classified in two main ways. In addition to being well-known single and two stage snow blowers are more than gasoline-powered blowers and electric fans off. Basically, the gasoline engine-driven blowers are very noisy, since they have a two-stroke engine and cause a lotpollution. Whereas snowplow electrical machines are generally single-stage is electrically operated and not overloaded.

Security with snowblowers

Safety is the most important aspect when a snow blower at the company. To perform these simple rules to ensure the security and, simultaneously, the operation of the snow thrower.

1. Keep children away from the turbine. The impeller rotation of the two-stage machine can lead to serious injury and even if the proper care of amputationnot taken in dealing with the car.

2. Maintain the standards of electrical safety when it comes to electric fan.

3. Never allow children to play near the region where the snow is blown off countries like the snow, even if they bear crushed a serious injury as he is thrown with great force.

Secrets of Growing Killer Tomatoes

0 comments

Growing tomatoes has always been my favorite vegetable and eat. I have had success with other standard vegetables like cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, etc., but my specialty has been over the years.

I start my seeds in about 5-6 weeks before last expected frost date. I use a commercially available starting flat that 72 plants will. I prefer the Whopper Tomato Plant Park (TM) Enhanced Cr VFFNT HybridPark Seed Co. These can be purchased, is a big, lush, disease-resistant tomatoes to grow, I saw more than 3 kg. +. These !!!!! for a BLT impressive, like a slice of one of these beauties hanging from the toast of at least one inch or more all the way

The mixture of compost, I use equal parts good loam and vermiculite, light enough that the soil does, so the seeds do not germinate and will have difficulty growing. So you sayYou are right now, WOW, 72 tomato plants, I do not need very well so ... View from 72 that you start to develop some are not, for whatever reason, and if they are planted, some die, the birds get some, get the animals and get some yes, some of the bugs, no matter how hard you try to keep them out . So from that 72 plants, you might end up only with the right number at the end of your garden. Of course it is possible to conclude with 72very healthy, intact, disease or insects, tomato plants, as has happened to me a season, then you can eat tomatoes more than we ever sell or give away! But this is history as a whole it 'is!

Tomatoes are grown in all soils, the rocky, hard packed clay loam dark loose so he could push the arm elbow deep into the ground without any difficulty. And 'my experience that almost all the land with the majority requires only minor work wasChanges.

If you need to add amendments to the soil to fix it, I recommend a mixture of sawdust and sand in old age anyway. The sand can be obtained from the local concrete company for a small fee in bulk, or you can buy in bags from your local hardware store. A note on the sawdust, DO NOT use fresh sawdust, as this release will be too hot, because of nitrogen during decomposition. Plants placed in the sawdust, and the mixture of sand and earth are tooInvitation to withstand the high concentration of nitrogen.

If fresh sawdust all you can get, is stacked in a corner of your garden, and let age for a new season.

Your local sawmill, if you have one nearby, should have a good supply of old sawdust on hand that can be loaded and towed free of charge. If you can not have a sawmill and any kind of assembly plant nearby, such as the Ames Co., which manufactures wooden handles, etc. you with your localCounty extension agent and he or she can tell you where to buy the sawdust. Speaking of a county extension agent if you intend to take to consult with the officials, some soil samples from different places in your garden and ask that they be tested for proper nutrients. This is a free service provided by some countries, while others may charge a small fee, regardless, you can have the results back in a few days.

If you are the sawdust and sand, evenly distributedParts of your garden to a depth of about a centimeter or more, depending on the type of soil has reached. Too much and the soil is too long and drain the water too quickly, not enough and the sun bake in a ortstein during the dog days of summer.

Work this mixture into your soil as deeply as possible with your drill or spading the old way, with a fork or shovel Once this mixture is worked properly then it's time to consider whatType of fertilizer is needed.

Armed with the results of soil analysis, that is a good indication of what type of fertilizer is best for your garden. Known in many cases a good all-purpose fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or triple 10 will do the job well. The results of soil tests indicate the additional features of the necessary nutrients, and the percentage of alerts.

After completing fertilization, give your garden a moderate soakingwith sprinkler or link to dissolve and distribute the fertilizer through the soil.

When the tomatoes begin to fix something that I have a unique approach, I dig the planting hole, approximately 10-12 cm deep with an auger earth, which helps determine the spacing of each plant (2-2 ½ feet apart, or about half the length of your earth auger handle) I use the drill ground for several reasons:

1. Its much easier on yourback, you do not have to bend or kneel to dig the hole.

2. The hole larger and deeper means that more of the tomato plant itself can be placed deep into the soil and the plants can be more effectively put into play the stronger the plant will be, because each piece is subject to the plan, Metro and development in the root system, so that the roots will be deeper and stronger from the outset.

3. Recovery loose in the hole allows the development of rootTo maintain the system, a solid grip.

After obtaining all the holes are placed at intervals, and digging, go back and sprinkle a little 'Miracle-Gro bottom of each hole, then add a small amount of water in the hole. Remove and set your house plants as deeply as possible into the hole. We recommend no more than 1 to 2 inches of tomato on the ground. Yes, it will take longer for your tomatoes to produce them in relation to recruitment, they found that at the same depthWere sown flat, but most are plants and plants that are almost never have the water because at this depth are the humidity is fairly constant, unless it is a very dry summer. Believe me, if you set the tomatoes are deep throughout the apartment, shall be paid at least every other day.?

The next thing we face is the method used to control the plant illegal. Some people like to place straw down around the tomato plants and to their proliferationon the ground. I think this opens the door for pest problems, such as the tomato hornworm. The method I recommend is to do with welded steel wire tomato cage. The wire can be purchased in most hardware or do-it-yourself store. The wire is large 6 "openings that are easily pass if it came with a hand harvest time. The cable is about 6 m high, which makes it a very sturdy cage for the biggest tomato plant. To count cages for sevenSquares and then cut with a blowtorch or a pair of pliers studio, cut the bottom of the seventh, which will be six 6 "spikes, which make the cage as stable as a rock when pushed to the ground. I put my cage around the plants once the plants into the ground. As soon as the cages will last for years and years.

Our final concern is pests and diseases, in particular the tomato hornworm end rot and blossom. Tomatohornworm is ugly little creature that surround and chew through your plant just below the ground. To avoid this, insert a large nail into the ground next to each tomato plant. Thus, the hornworm will prevent the environment of plants and food through the base.

When you reach the end of your tomatoes begin to rot, to see how they grow, then it is surely a case of blossom end rot, which can be easily stopped from overtaking your entire crop of tomatoes. Go to yourPharmacy and get some potassium chloride, then place two tablespoons full in a garden sprayer and fill with water, shake to mix well then spray your plants. Do this weekly until the end does not appear in the new red.

If you can follow these instructions and a little 'TLC are some of the largest and best-tasting tomatoes you keep asking.

Will surely be the envy of the neighborhood!

Buying a Zero Turn Mower

Sunday, March 21, 2010 0 comments

If you look at this unit lawn that professional landscapers use you may have noticed that they tend to use as it is called Zero-turn mower. A zero-turn mower, or zero-turn radius mower is a mower that has the ability to rotate 180 degrees on the spot, completely changing directions without losing anything of grass. Zero-turn mower, the height of the edge you need to do is drastically reduced, which reduce the whole time for cuttingGrass.

Zero-turn mowers have been used by commercial landscapers for a number of years, but recently with the owners and imprisoned. Consider a house with a big lawn to cut, reduce the time required to cut the grass is important. It 'also important to reduce the number of different machines that you used during the harvest. Traditionally, large lawns were cut with a lawnmower, then cut with a push mower, and thus more cutting was done with a trimmer.This is very time consuming.

Using a zero-turn mower, cutting almost be eliminated. Zero-turn mowers are able to close the obstacles, navigate without saving and go forward again. This is particularly important for the aging of the population as a cut with a push mower can be very tiring.

Zero-turn mowers work similar to a lever on the bulldozer vary with left and right side of the driver, caused essentially the wheel speedthat rotate in the direction of the causes of the slower wheel.

The glory of the cross coupling occurred for two main reasons. First, dealing with the spatula great bundles was dirty, and it would be more ground with the spread as fertilizer on the lawn. The second reason is that outdated in this era of hand method of diffusion of technology consumes more time and energy.

The speaker is a tow fertilizer quickly and professionally so the interruption, seeds, soil, mud, sand and oil in a fast, clean and plannedWay. Without spreader beams of all of us used for all our clothes and worse still catch around the hand. To see the smallest amount of wind fertilizer all over the place blew up before they can enter the lawn or garden.

Several tow spreaders are assembled so that it can move into full-size tractors lawn.

The customer must properly assess their needs and wants to decide before you buy the exact device on the spatula. Should be a thorough study of the product, its features, specifications and warranty period.
