Hedging For Shade, Discover Why Laurel Is A Great Choice By : James Kilkelly Sizes and uses Prunus laurocerasus is commonly known as the Cherry laurel or English laurel. It is quite often confused with Laurus noblis (bay laurel or Grecian laurel), which is the victory laurel of ancient Greece. A hardy evergreen shrub native to Asia and Europe, It is often planted as a large ground cover or under-planting beneath forest trees. I once did some work for Newtown house in Abbeyknockmoy (an old estate house with a forest attached) and witnessed first ... Garden And Patio Decorations For Great Outdoor Living By : Robert Mosse Think about garden and patio decorations just as you would if you were designing a room in your home. We always hear of interior decorating, so now think about exterior decorating! A well-decorated patio can have sitting areas, dining areas, and center pieces. Because you're outdoors, garden and patio decorations let you become creative in really fun ways. The garden decor you select will give your outdoor "rooms" style and character... so go with what appeals to you. Are ... Loving Long Island-Day Trips By : Dr. Richard Churchill If you were to say to someone in Maine that you were taking the ferry to Long Island to visit public gardens, they would look at you and think, “What public gardens?” They would conjure up images of an outpost in Casco Bay populated by people who fish for a living and have little time to garden, and by summer residents who might have a small vegetable garden, flower bed or hedgerow of rugosa rose. But public gardens? There are none to be found. It’s a simple place where the w... How Are Fossils Formed? By : Claudia Mann How are fossils formed? For fossil formation to take place a series of fortunate events must occur. If any part of the series is missing, we will never see the fossil! In fact, fossilization is a rare occurrence. Nature tends toward recycling. That includes just about everything from plants and animals to rocks and minerals. Let’s narrow it down to just animals for a minute. Animals, dead or alive, are food for other animals. From insects to dinosaurs, an animal could be s... Green Grass Cutting: Reel Lawnmowers By : John Francis Many of today's new homeowners are looking for environmentally friendly solutions to yard maintenance. Reel lawnmowers are not a new idea, but they are gaining in popularity. Environmentally conscious homeowners are giving up their self-propelled, petroleum powered mowers for the old fashioned, muscle powered versions in record numbers. Reel lawnmowers differ from typical lawnmowers in several important ways. Invented in 1830 by Edwin Budding, the manual push mower allowed... Garden Swing For Heart And Soul By : Ken Donald Gardens Swing as a gift I read a description for an American eagle garden swing. The words simply captured me and made me feel that this was the exact gift that I needed for my wife’s upcoming birthday - I went out and bought a brand new swing the next day. Not the American eagle though, but a "Santa Fe Rails" Metal Art Railroad Swing. It is strange what happens when you take a seat in it – it is like your mind wanders off in the second you sit back and relax. An amazing gi... Algae vs. Lichens In The Garden By : James Kilkelly What is your opinion on algae and lichens within the garden? Are you trying to discourage them or are you one of the select few who promote their growth. Let me introduce you to these algae and lichens, so you can make an informed decision. Algae in glasshouses and polytunnels Algae are the much-maligned green slimes found on ponds and as a greenish scum on paths and drives. You may be surprised to know algae is actually a garden plant, albeit a stem-less and non-flower... The Peroxide Phenomenon-Gardening Miracle By : Paul Tukey He unabashedly begins his stories in newspapers, magazines and online by proclaiming, “This will be the most phenomenal article you will ever read.” He claims to have cured his own cancer, to have removed his own warts and to be the most robust 82-year-old on the planet — ever since he discovered the miracle solution known as hydrogen peroxide. Bill Munro immediately grabbed my attention with a story titled “Gardening with H2O2” in Acres U.S.A., the highly respected farmin... The Organic Gardener By : Henry Homeyer It’s not always easy to be an organic gardener. Even committed organic gardeners sometimes long to spray herbicide on goutweed or pesky poison ivy. When Japanese beetles or rose chafers arrive in throngs just before your garden party, you may suffer an urge for the good old days — the time before you understood that spraying an insecticide would kill beneficial bugs along with the bad, aggravating your pest problems. But there are also problems that are more easily addressed ... Hosta Heaven: Best-Selling Perennials In North America By : George Africa If you haven’t tried growing hostas yet, now is the time. If you’ve got a few plants in your garden, you ought to have a few more. Trust me. Millions of gardeners can’t be wrong, either. Among the best-selling perennials in North America, hostas range from miniatures less than two inches tall to many with extra-large leaves the size of horses’ heads and flower scapes more than five feet tall. Planted as single specimens, as companions to other plants or as entire hosta gar... American Horticulural Society-Award Winner By : Allen Lessels Past honorees have been pioneers in print, radio and television. Their names have graced campus buildings and public gardens. For a dairy farmer’s grandson from Maine, the news that he was to receive the Ameri-can Horticultural Society’s 2006 Horticultural Communication Award was the most humbling of his career. “To be included among the past recipients of AHS awards is the highest honor of my professional life, and nothing I could ever have dreamed of receiving,” said Pau... Create The Perfect Garden Pond By : Rachael Cleipher One of the biggest privileges in my life is the ability to own my own home and property. My family and I have been blessed to be able to purchase land and create the home of our dreams on it. When I am not busy writing, there are few things you can find me doing as often as tending to my ever- messy home and overwhelming lawn and garden. I have a love and hate relationship with these chores. One the one hand, I love caring for the things I own because I feel a sense of pride ... Learning About Health In The Garden By : Beverly Hartsfield Healthy Plants don't get disease. The same goes for the Human Body. Healthy soil feeds the plants. Just like the body, if the plants get the right nutrients, they will be able to fight off any disease. When you treat a disease with a chemical, you may kill the disease, but the underlying condition that created the weakness, allowing the disease, is most likely still present. It will just manifest itself as another disease or symptom. When you create health through nu... Growing Vegetables By : Ken Charnly I can hear you thinking that you have no idea about growing vegetables. The truth is that you can easily learn enough to be growing useful crops very quickly, and each session spent in your garden teaches you even more. You will learn much that is unique to your own situation, such as local soil conditions, your particular aspect in relation to the sun, and oddities that relate to your local microclimate. You will learn most of this by getting out and giving it a go.
