• 0 comments There is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cool
drink of water straight from the garden hose. Beware though; garden
hoses can contain lead products. This means that while you are enjoying
that refreshing water, you may also be ingesting lead contaminants.
While letting the water run through the hose can reduce lead
contaminants, a drink safe hose is the best option. A drink safe garden
hose from Gator Hyde is lightweight and its industrial strength makes is
durable.

• 0 commentsChildren love the wonders of nature found in a garden, from the bugs to the scent of flowers. Encourage your child to learn the art of gardening by giving him a plot of his own where he can plant flowers and vegetables. When a child is taught something at a young age, it stays with him for life. He'll take those lessons with him as he teaches his own children how to garden.
Gardening with children is fun. You'll see the plants through their eyes. Be prepared to answer questions about where seed comes from, why worms slither back into to soil the way they do, why you have your hands in cow poo, and why the leaf of a particular herb smells like roast chicken.

• 0 commentsRoses should be pruned using the correct tools to ensure the canes
are cut cleanly. Hacking away at the canes with an axe may actually
destroy the plant, rather than encourage good healthy growing habits.
When doing any gardening chores, it's always wise to use the tool
designed for each individual job.
Secateurs should
be used on canes that are no thicker than one inch. Using secateurs on
very thick canes will result in a choppy cut with strands of bark loose
around the cut end.

It’s a comfortable summer time day time and you are outside watering your garden or perhaps your own plants in pots and hanging flower plants. Water appears inviting as well as refreshing, but in the event you take a drink from the actual hose? It is extremely suggested that you do not. Many premium backyard drinking water hoses are created along with polyvinyl chloride (Pvc material) which frequently utilizes guide like a stabilizer. And that we are all aware how dangerous lead could be.

All that rotting food generates millions of tons of methane – a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The answer to this is to make your own compost.

• 0 commentsGardeners and those interested in living a "green" lifestyle understand the benefits of composting. Composting turns kitchen wastes, garden debris, newspaper and cardboard into soil brimming with fertility. Composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills. Composting eliminates the need to bag or burn garden debris such as leaves, grass clippings and weeds. But composting using the traditional bin method is a slow process, taking up to a year to fully decompose materials. Keeping the pile aerated involves backbreaking work turning the mass of organic matter with a shovel or spade weekly.

EnvirocycleTM Composter / ComposteamakerTM - General Information
What is Composting?
Composting is a process of transforming organic matter into humus
under specific conditions. It speeds up the natural process by using a
varied mixture of organic matter with ideal conditions, thus allowing
large numbers of microorganisms to thrive and transform the organic
matter into humus. Compost is the foundation of organic fertilization.
It improves soil structure by making it light and porous.

Q1. How exactly does the EnvirocycleTM Composter/ComposteamakerTM work?
A. All you have to do is open the lid, throw in the waste, close the lid and rotate
the unit to mix the contents well (at least 3 times/week to maintain active
composting) and there you have it!
The EnvirocycleTM Composter/ComposteamakerTM requires no mixing tools other
than your hands to rotate the drum ‐ without getting them dirty!
One cycle of the decomposition process takes a period of about 30 to 40 days, but
the maturing time of a composting cycle varies depending on how often the
composter is turned and the size of the original ingredients.

of the most time consuming tasks a gardener faces. Because manually watering a garden is an inefficient use of
time, many gardeners choose to employ a tool, such as a sprinkler or hose, to
water their garden. While these
tools can save the gardener time, they are inefficient at properly distributing
water and, depending on your location or the season, can ruin your garden by
either over or under watering your plants. A more advanced solution may be to invest in a

Drip irrigation is “an irrigation method which saves water and fertilizer by

This in turn will keep your pond healthy and the water clean. One of the most serious problems connected to low oxygen levels is fish kill. Fish need certain levels of oxygen to survive. When oxygen levels lessen, a break down of organic waste can result in the production of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen Sulfide has a very foul odor. It is colorless, flammable and very harmful.
