Lawn care - Why It Is So Important To Remove Thatch And How To Do So
2008-01-06 02:57:00 One of the conditions required to grow a beautiful lawn is the periodic removal of thatch. Thatch is the layer of the lawn's roots and stems that builds up above the soil's surface. A high percentage of organic matter in the soil is desirable when that organic matter has broken down to the black and crumbly state known as humus. However, thatch is composed largely of matter that breaks down so slowly that if left untreated just grows and grows.Problems associated with thatch*A thatch layer forms a fairly impenetrable mass severely retarding both the infiltration of water into the soil, and the all important exchange of gasses from it. A poor rate of gas exchange means that carbon dioxide builds up while insufficient oxygen is available to the grass roots.*The higher the layer, the more difficult it becomes to mow the lawn correctly. As the layer grows, the lawn mower sinks into the grass causing it to scalp instead of mow the lawn. In some species, especially those particularly se... More About: Care

The Wonderment Of Breeding Your Own Worms
2008-01-03 05:46:00 I stand in awe at how amazing the humble worm is. As a keen fisherman I only ever used to look at them as bait for my fishing exploits until one day it was pointed out to me just what this little creature provides for our planet.It all started with another planned trout fishing trip with some guys I worked with. We decided we needed worms and we all knew instantly where we could get a ton of them.Across the road was a vacant paddock that couldn't be built upon and in fact large sections of it you couldn't even walk on. Apparently in the bad old days before environmental controls were enforced on companies the local abattoir had used this paddock to dump all of its fat.So we had this whole paddock filled with buried lard and the end result was millions of worms. So off we'd go with shovel in hand and dig up the fat and bust it open and gather the worms. The biggest problem was the worms usually stunk pretty badly because of the stuff they were living in.It was during one of these ... More About: Worms , Breeding , Breed
Bonsai, an alluring Japanese Art form

Japanese , 'shin zen bi' combines the three forces, beauty, truth and essence, as part of the philosophy, behind their form of bonsai.In their endless for perfection, the Japanese aim for a perfectly natural, though miniaturized look to the tree, or plant. Their bonsai look as though they grew that way, without mans help. That is the aim.The Chinese tend toward the artistic and more imaginative with their bonsai, growing them into Chinese lettering and mythical lifeforms, as well as living creatures.

Backyard Bird Feeding - Suet vs Vegetable Fat
2007-12-28 04:49:00 Many animal care professionals have frequently maintained backyard-feeding sites for wild birds. Our approaches to this activity were rather nonchalant at best. Our feed choices were based on cost and effectiveness in attracting birds for personal pleasure. The nutritional value of the feed was irrelevant. If we were too lazy or indifferent to refill the feeder, so what? After all, birds have the unlimited largess of Mother Nature for their free choice foraging; they can meet their own nutritional needs. Doesn't sound very professional does it?The first thing professional animal keepers do is research the natural history of the animals in their care. What are their nutritional, habitat, and behavioral requirements for optimum health? In regard to nutrition, our attention was first drawn to suet cakes. They didn't seem like a very healthful option--all that fat, and even worse--saturated fat. Nearly all, if not all, commercial fat cakes are made with suet (beef fat). The suggestion...

Mulch In The Garden - The Different Types And How To Use Them
2007-12-18 07:12:00 There are many reasons for spreading a layer of pebbles or wood chippings on top of the soil around the garden plants, otherwise known as mulching. A mulch layer is said to retard weeds, regulate the top-soil temperature, save water by reducing evaporation from the soil and prevent soil erosion. All this is true in principle, but merely spreading some mulch does not necessarily produce satisfactory results. How then can it be used most effectively?The use of an inorganic material like decorative pebbles, is often part of an overall design, especially in Mediterranean style gardens. They are best employed as a ground cover, with a few sculptural plants dotted within them. If the bed however is to be covered by plants, then pebbles from my experience, end up being more of a nuisance than a benefit, because they make plant feeding and weed removal amongst other tasks, more problematical.Let's take then a situation where a prostrate ground cover species is to be planted at a distance o...

Planting Rye Grass - Protect Your Land
2007-12-18 07:11:00 In many areas the ending of fall and the beginning of winter is a good time to begin thoughts of planting rye grass. Rye grass comes in annual and perennial types and will give you a wonderful green lawn that will grow fast and will be alive while other grasses are dormant. Rye grass is one of the early grasses in the spring and can also be a temporary ground cover or can be used to supplement other grasses.While rye grass is simple to grow compared to more difficult species, it does demand some planning and preparation. The most important thing to remember about rye grass is that it must touch the soil to thrive, so whether you simply hand cast the seeds or use a mechanical sowing device when planting rye grass; you need to water first and prepare the area so that seeds will touch the soil.When there is a great deal of ground covering that is not wanted, it should be dealt with by cutting it close, killing with herbicide, or burned off.

Soil Salinity - The Creeping Menace
2007-12-11 05:28:00 One of the most difficult problems found in many parts of Australia is the presence of excess salt in the soil. Soil salinity is an indication of the level of soluble chemical compounds present.Salinity And Natural SaltsSalts are released naturally when rocks break down, the most predominant being sodium chloride or common salt. Other salts include compounds of magnesium, potassium and calcium. When salt levels become elevated soils are damaged and crop production is diminished.Salt problems occur naturally in the landscape, but many areas become saline due to excess clearing of vegetation, over cultivation and poor irrigation practices. The end result is that plants find it more difficult to absorb water from the soil; plants wilt more readily, produce less growth and in severe cases tissues are damaged. Eventually sensitive plants will die and salt affected areas show a greatly reduced variety of plant growth.Salt Crystals And Soil TestIn extreme cases a white crust of dried salt ...

Spacing of Plants in Hydroponics
2007-11-30 05:48:00 All living things need space in which to live, grow and reproduce and plants are no exception to this rule. But unlike other living things that can move from place to place to make the best use of other available essentials like water, air and light, plants have to get these from the limited space in which they grow. Plants are therefore more vulnerable to deprivation of essentials if they are not provided enough living space. Therefore it is important in hydroponics cultivation as in conventional cultivation to carefully assess the space your plants will need and plan ahead keeping in mind their increasing space requirements as they grow.Spacing of plants is an important aspect that needs to be carefully considered and properly addressed for successful hydroponics cultivation. In the event of plants being grown too close to one another, they will most likely receive less than the required amount of light. Depending on how close they are grown they may even receive less air than the...

How to Keep Indoor Plants Healthy

Thousands of words have been written on plant diseases and blights; we can read books on insects and plant insect infestation but the number of house plants that fall prey to these ills is infinitesimal when compared with the tremendous majority that die from neglect or from the gardener's lack of knowledge of the habits of the plants themselves.You have a green thumb. Everybody has. We want to help you put it to work successfully.By far the major cause of failure in the home garden is neglect.
