Yard Garden Outdoor

I was just given a new metal firebowl for my back yard. Is it OK to burn old treated fence wood?

(Yes, it is OK to have a covered outdoor fire in my city, between 7am and 11pm, and with the garden hose close by and operational!)

actually it is against the law to burn treated wood...

Is your backyard area in the garden doesn't get the use that it should? Are you planning to get a cover for the backyard so that you can use? And now your problem is with such a variety of choices on the bazaar, which one do you pick?

The right and less expensive solution is a shade sails. A shade sail a cover that is used in the outdoors. Usually they are tensioned from three or more corners to provide shelter from the sun and protection from the rain also.

Shade sails are popular in countries like Australia and South Africa. Their popularity has increased in such a way that you can purchase a shade sails that are not only functional but stylish, in different shapes from triangular to square to polygons and with different fun.

These stylish covers are so flexible that they can be long-drawn-out over your terrace or garden or backyard, fixed to patio columns, or to trees. If you don't have a support to attach they can be simply hold up with additional stuff like few posts or steel columns and you can place anywhere in your yard or terrace or in the garden.

In the ancient times people in the Egypt used huge sheets of fabric as sun shelters and this was later followed by the Greeks and Romans. The Coliseums in Rome also used big canvas sails.

What makes difference between modern shade sails and older one is that the earlier versions are manufactured from modern high density polyethylene which are very strong but flexible as well. The modern polyethylene fabrics were developed for outdoor use to provide protection from the sun and in addition they are manufactured with UV protection ratings. They offer unbelievable flexibility and are suitable to most locations and weather conditions.

At present there are a growing number of manufacturers in the market and many are self-taught. You need to be cautious while purchasing, know about the material they are using, the grade, UV rating and about waterproofing. There are many wholesale suppliers in marketing shade sails at low prices but be cautious that they are often of poor quality material. Select the right shade sail that offers instant shelter from sun and rain and enjoy the cool shade in the yard, on a deck and at picnics.

Whether you plan on "borrowing ideas" or plan on creating your own landscaping design, you should have at the very least a basic understanding of the principles of landscape design.

This doesn't mean that you have to apply every principle to every part of your plan. But just having an understanding of these principles will help you generate ideas and increase your creativity.

Great landscaping lies in the eyes of the its creator. So, while the principles of landscape design are great guidelines to follow, don't feel like they're the "have to rules" of landscaping. Abstract and creativity are allowed.

Unity should be one of your main goals in your design. It may be better understood and applied as consistency and repetition. Repetition creates unity  by repeating alike elements like plants, plant groups, or decor throughout the landscape. Consistency creates unity in the sense that some or all of the different elements of the landscape fit together to create a whole.

Unity can be achieved by the consistency of character of elements in the design. By character, I mean the height, size, texture, color schemes, etc. of different elements.

A good example would be in the use of accent boulders. If you've ever seen a landscape design that had one large white round boulder here and another large red square granite boulder there and so on, then you've seen that unity wasn't created by this specific element.

This is just one example but the principle applies to all other elements such as groups of plants and materials.

A simple way to create unity in your landscape is by creating themes. And one of the simplest ways to create themes is by using a little garden decor or garden statues. Creating a theme garden is easier when it's related to something you're interested in or have a passion for.

If you're into butterflies for instance, you could create a theme using plants that attract butterflies as well as using statues, ornaments, and other decor that are related to butterflies.

Unity should be expressed through at least one element in your landscape and preferably more. Using elements to express a main idea through consistent style and a specific theme is what creates harmony.

Simplicity is actually one of the principles in design and art. It’s one of the best guidelines you can follow as a beginner or do it yourselfer. Just keep things simple to begin with. You can do more later.

Simplicity in planting, for instance, would be to pick two or three colors and repeat them throughout the garden or landscape. Keeping decor to a minimum and within a specific theme as well as keeping hardscapes such as boulders consistent is also practicing simplicity.

Balance in design is just as the word implies. Equality. There are basically two types of balance in landscape design. Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.

Symmetrical balance is where there are more or less equally spaced matching elements of the garden design. With a garden equally divided, both sides could share the same shape, form, plant height, plant groupings, colors, bed shapes, theme, etc.

You may remember creating something like this when you were a kid in art class at school. Where you take a piece of paper, splash paint on it, fold it in half, unfold it, and then it magically creates an interesting symmetrical design. So symmetrical balance or design is somewhat of a mirror image or reflection.

Asymmetrical balance on the other hand is one of the principles of landscape design that's a little more complex. While textures, forms, colors, etc. may remain constant to create some unity, shapes and hardscapes may be more random. This form of balance often has separate or different themes with each having an equal but different type of attraction.

A good example of this would be where bed shapes or paths differ on both sides of the dividing line. One side could be curvy with a sense of flow while the other side is straight, direct, and hard.

This can also create a neat contrast. Flowing lines are pleasing to the eye but the bold contrast of a curve with a straight line can be very interesting.

Asymmetrical balance isn't necessarily limited to just the shape of your garden.

An example might be where one side of the garden is mostly large shade trees while the other side is predominately a lower growing flower garden or even a mix of both examples. This is only limited to your imagination.

Contrast and harmony can also be achieved using plants. Fine foliage verses coarser foliage, round leaves verses spiked leaves as well as color compliments and contrasts.

Plant height, color, and texture may be varied from one area to the next but each area should stay consistent within its own theme.

You'll hear me talk about "themes" a lot. Many successful do it yourself designs follow a basic theme to achieve most of the principles of landscape design described on this page. The proper use of plants and garden decor or a mix of both is a simple way to achieve themes.

Color adds the dimension of real life and interest to the landscape. Bright colors like reds, yellows and oranges seem to advance toward you and can actually make an object seem closer to you. Cool colors like greens, blues, and pastels seem to move away from you and can make an object seem farther from you.

Grays, blacks, and whites are considered neutral colors and are best used in the background with bright colors in the foreground. However, to increase depth in a landscape, you can use dark and coarse textured plants in the foreground and use fine textured and light colored plants in the background.

Colors can also be used to direct your attention to a specific area of the garden. A bright display among cooler colors would naturally catch the eye.

Natural transition can be applied to avoid radical or abrupt changes in your landscape design. Transition is basically gradual change. It can best be illustrated in terms of plant height or color but can also be applied to all elements in the landscape including but not limited to textures, foliage shape or size, and the size and shape of different elements.

In other words transition can be achieved by the gradual, ascending or descending, arrangement of different elements with varying textures, forms, colors, or sizes.

An example of a good transition would be a stair step effect from large trees to medium trees to shrubs to bedding plants. This example is where a little knowledge of proper plant selection would come in handy.

Transition is one of the principles of landscape design that can be used to "create illusions" in the landscape. For example a transition from taller to shorter plants can give a sense of depth and distance (like in a painting), making the garden seem larger than it really is. A transition from shorter to taller plants could be used to frame a focal point to make it stand out and seem closer than it really is.

Line is of the more structural principles of landscape design. It can mostly be related to the way beds, walkways, and entryways move and flow.

Straight lines are forceful and direct while curvy lines have a more natural, gentle, flowing effect.

Proportion simply refers to the size of elements in relation to each other. Of all the principles of landscape design, this one is quite obvious but still requires a little thought and planning. Most of the elements in landscape design can be intentionally planned to meet the proper proportions.

For instance if you are creating a small courtyard garden, an enormous seven foot garden statue placed in the center would be way out of proportion and a little tacky to say the least. Or a small four foot waterfall and pond placed in the center of a large open yard would get lost in the expanse.

Don't misunderstand this to mean that if you have a large yard you can't have smaller features or garden decor. Proportion is relative and elements can be scaled to fit by creating different rooms in the garden. The goal is to create a pleasing relationship among the three dimensions of length, breadth, and depth or height.

A small water feature can be proportionate if placed in a corner or on the edge of a large area and becomes a focal point of the larger area while creating its own distinct atmosphere. An entire room, sitting area, or theme can be created around it. Other rooms and themes can be created as well. See small gardens for ideas on creating rooms and creating illusions.

Also, special consideration and study should be given to proper plant selection to avoid using plants that are out of proportion.

Repetition is directly related to unity. Its good to have a variety of elements and forms in the garden but repeating these elements gives variety expression.

Unity is achieved by repeating objects or elements that are alike. Too many unrelated objects can make the garden look cluttered and unplanned.

There's a fine line here. It's possible that too much of one element can make a garden or landscape feel uninteresting, boring and monotonous.

However, unity can still be created by using several different elements repeatedly. This in turn keeps the garden interesting.

How should i reseed this lawn? rototiller?

I'm re-seeding my dads commercial property (just a long narrow stip along a sidewalk with a few trees). I can rent equiptment to do this. The lawn is far gone... It's in the ghetto, dumped on etc. About 1/3 of it is dead and about 40% of it is weeds. Some of it has tire ruts that i cant mow over because of the irregularities.

Hey Glenn,

You could just fill in the ruts with some top soil. Be sure to scratch the surface of the dirt where you do plant, and you must water every day during germination. It would help if you continue to water after the seeds to start also.

You might consider dressing the top uniformly with some compost and top soil, that way you will get a uniform germination. Depending on where you live too, the type of grass you want is for high traffic, something that will resist wear and tear.

Anyway, here is a website from Clemson Master Gardeners of South Carolina. It gives severl options depending on where you live. It is worth reading about.

I am in Ohio and I till. I do not get involved in chemicals, 'cuz I don't have soil tests. That's up to the customer. I charge $25.00 per hour, with a one hour minimum.

After last year's totally bombed harvest in my backyard garden, I am determined to improve the sandy, nutrient deficient dirt in my garden for the upcoming growing season. I've been gardening forever it seems, but apparently I've got a few things to brush up on and wanted to be sure it was done the all natural organic way.

So I thought if I want to turn my sandy soil into rich loam I had better do it right this time and I started with doing some research. To make a long story short, this is what I have found out; both of what I need to do and how to go about doing it.

• Organic matter improves the texture of sandy soil by filling in the spaces between the tiny stones which in turn increases the water holding nutrient holding capacity of the soil allowing the dirt to hold both water and fertilizer for the plants so they can get to it instead of it running off or seeping too far down.
• What is organic matter? Organic matter consists of plant materials like shredded leaves, grass clippings, horse, cow, sheep, goat and poultry manure, peat moss, pulled weeds, kitchen scraps like egg shells, vegetable peelings, coffee grounds (no meat or fish scraps though), sawdust, wood chips, and seaweed/kelp. FYI - most weed seeds will be killed off by the heat of the decomposition, but I'd still want to stay away from any invasive or noxious weeds (i.e.: bitter sweet, poison ivy, etc), just in case!  
• It is best to build your organic matter up in a compost pile of some sort. This pile could be any where that you find to be out of the way but accessible to add to it and to be able to turn the materials over periodically to speed up the decomposition. Your pile could even be a fancy specially made bin that turns - that would really speed things up, turning your yard and kitchen wastes into magical dirt in a few weeks.
• Compost doesn't smell if done properly. All organic matter should be composted first (already well rotted) before adding to the existing soil. Compost is called humus once it has turned into the rich colored dirt. It will improve the moisture retention, soil structure and fertility of your sandy soil.
• How do I add the finished compost or humus to my garden? You can just place the humus on top of the existing soil like you would mulch at about 2"- 4"deep (this works well in already established perennial beds or around trees and shrubs) or perhaps scratching into the top layer of soil lightly or you can work it completely into the existing soil with a spade, fork or roto-tiller. You can even do both working it into the existing soil and then placing some on top as mulch. This will need to be done every year from now on.
• Test the soil to find out the pH level of acidity and alkalinity. Most plants do well when the pH is between 6 and 7, which means that the soil is slightly acidic. A pH that is less than 7 means the soil is acidic - the lower the number the more acid it is. You will need to add some agricultural lime to make the soil sweeter or to make it less acid. A pH that is higher than 7 means that the soil is alkaline. If the number is very high you will need to add agricultural sulfur to reduce the pH level.
• Here's a bit of info if adding fertilizer is desired. Complete fertilizer contains 3 major elements - nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Nitrogen encourages leaf growth, and phosphorus and potassium assist in flowering and fruit production.

That's a lot of information, but I hope that it helps you out too and is easy enough to follow. After all, we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into our gardens and have such high hopes for them that we deserve to have our visions come true to life. Good luck and happy organic gardening!

The flames on the tiki torch dance in the warm, evening breeze while the thick, rich scent of island flowers fills the night air and gentle sounds of quiet waves lap the beach. Ahhhh . . . paradise!

And what would paradise be without tiki torches?  They just go together so well.  A backyard garden or deck wouldn't be complete without at least one tiki torch!  Maybe because they've been around so long....

Not so long ago tiki torches were still the primary source of light on many islands.  They were constructed of bamboo and fueled with oil. Today, though, tiki torches are made of many different types of materials and even the fuels are varied.  Want to know more?  Just keep following along!

First decide what style you want.  For example, if your tastes are more eclectic or art deco, you might appreciate ceramic tiki torches, usually very colorful.  In fact, they can become your focal point instead of just a subtle side light.  Since ceramic is breakable you'll have to be more careful when cleaning and storing these tiki torches.

Another decision: do you want the traditional in-ground variety, table top, floor standing, deck rail attachments or . . . ?  Yes, tiki torches have come a long way!

What about fuel sources?  Some tiki torches are now battery-operated and have no flame. These torches can be used indoors and outdoors as well. This is an especially intelligent choice when you have a lot of children around, and they look so real it's hard to tell the difference!  And now another choice just in time for the energy crisis – you can get a solar tiki torch!

Oh, but you're feeling a little exotic?  Want to run around your own little patch of "jungle" and sing like Tarzan?  Sounds like you'll want the traditional favorite: the bamboo tiki torch.  They're the original tiki torch and the most authentic . . . you'll be beating your chest in no time!

All tiki torches are easy to maintain and store.  To clean a bamboo tiki torch you just need mild soap, water, and a rag.  When storing your tiki torches, stand them upright if you don't drain the fuel.  You can lay the torches on their sides if you drain and store the fuel separately, but make sure to lay them on tarps or other plastic to prevent scratches to the torches.

Tiki torches are always a fun and entertaining addition to any home or party.  They're always ready for whatever mood you're in.  Kind of like a really good friend, someone you can just be yourself with . . . while you're beating your chest and swinging from trees, of course!

You can know about the different models of tiki torches available in the market at the Backyardbargain. It is a nice place to explore numerous models of home decor items like curtain rods, decorative pillows for your home or restaurant.
