Revivng a Thinning Garden

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 13:02:43 EST

The Garden looks old, It is time for some new plants and attention to bring it back to life. Start By Cutting away dead branches and leaves and trimming to shape the plants that you want to keep. Mix up the soil in bare spots and add mulch or compost to the soil and mix well. Now add Bulbs, Flowers and other plants to fill up about half of the empty spaces. Give the garden plenty of water. After about a weeek look at the garden again and see what you like most, which plants and features. Add more of these plants and consider a stone or small statue as a highlight.

Advantages of Raised Beds

Mon, 6 Feb 2006 07:04:47 EST

With raised beds it is easier to achieve a greater depth of good soil in areas of poor soil quality.

Raised beds offer better drainage with heavy soils, so beware with sandy soils

Raised beds warm faster in the spring

By setting your garden up in a bed-and-path system, you make optimum use of the space; and, by keeping foot traffic confined to paths, you avoid compacting the growing beds

Raised beds can be setup for flood irrigation methods.
