Hanging Baskets Are The Greatest Addition To The Hanging Garden D

June 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Most people that are engaged in doing up their gardens tend to use pots as well as tubs at ground level in order to decorate their gardens. However, to add another dimension to the garden, why not consider hanging garden decor in the form of hanging baskets that help to add charm to the garden and to also make a noticeable difference to the appearance of the garden.

Hang From A Pergola

One of the best places to affect hanging garden decor is to hang the baskets from the cross-beams of pergolas that of course must be strong enough to bear the weight of the hanging baskets. Another way of adding to the hanging garden decor is by constructing a series of uprights as well as cross beams in the shape of the letter L and use this construction to hang the baskets from.

With the help of hanging baskets you can create an interesting scenario that will please the eyes, especially when the rest of the garden seems to be very flat. You need to simply add a number of hanging baskets that you can then place at varying levels so that there is a random pattern created that will prove to be the eye-catching feature of the garden during the summer months. And, during winter you can plant pansies as well as evergreens as too dwarf conifers that will ensure that the hanging garden decor suits every weather condition.

It is also possible to vary the hanging garden decor by using wall brackets from which to hang the baskets, which can prove to be an especially striking addition when used in the vicinity of the porch and balcony. Fortunately, there is a lot of variety when it comes to choosing your hanging baskets and you can in fact, easily opt for simple wired meshes or go for plastic pots or even pots made from clay.

Once you have decided on using hanging baskets for your hanging garden decor, you will then need to address the issue of planting the baskets. You need to also ensure that the plants are positioned in the proper manner, especially in basket’s top portion and you can also think about having some of the plants poke out of the sides of the basket. The bottom line with proper hanging garden decor is that you can experiment and mix and match various different types of hanging baskets and bells as well as bird baths to create a more stunning garden.

For those people that have a particular fondness for the outdoors, and gardens in particular, there are many exciting options when it comes to choosing a garden decor gift. You can choose items to suit a housewarming party or a birthday or even an anniversary. If you choose your gift wisely, the recipient will appreciate your thoughts and will be able to add something useful to their garden.

Unique Garden Planters ? Outdoor Decorating W/container Gardening & Garden Planters

May 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Container Gardening and Garden planters are a warm and inviting way to add interest to your outdoor decorating spaces. You can spruce up your outdoor living spaces by adding decorative planters that give your plants “pop”! Let’s face it, outdoor decorating is “in” right now – it is the hottest design trend going. There are diverse ways you can add your own personality to your outdoor design space. One of the easiest is to use decorative planters for your garden.

With more and more people spending time indoors working, the desire to return to the outdoors has really hit big. Even if you live in the city, you can bring the outdoors to your home with garden planters or may be a nice trellis or a set of wind chimes! Yesterday’s plastic industrial flower pots have given way to the beautiful and practical decorative planters of today. So thinking big, is not out of line when you think outdoor decorating. You can have style and functionality in something as practical as outdoor flower, plants, herb and vegetable pots! 

CONTAINER GARDENING: More and more people are enjoying the benefits and joys of container gardening. You can have the pleasure of growing your own herbs or food in vegetable planters. There is no doubt in where your food came from or how it was grown when you produce it yourself in garden planters.  Control of soil and soil type is one of the first realized benefits. Plants can be rearranged for optimal sun exposure. Lightweight vegetable planters can be easily moved indoors or under cover during sudden rainstorms. Garden planters give the added benefit of your organic gardening when you arrange them to repel insects or cross pollinate.

AESTHETIC APPEAL: Garden planters can add aesthetic appeal to your patio or poolside area. When you use decorative planters to grow your vegetables, plants and flowers, you can mix and match the potted plants for beauty as well as functionality. Tomato plants look exotic in outdoor urns; red peppers are almost whimsical in decorative planters. Your guests will probably not even notice that your outdoor garden decor is so practical. The lightweight nature of some outdoor planter pots makes it easy to avoid a late frost by bringing your potted plants under cover. Tho the plastic pots of yesterday are still available: beautifying your garden using decorative wooden vegetable planters gives it more of natural look!

CONTAINER INVADERS: When you grow your produce in wooden planters, weed control is much easier. By starting out with container soil, you eliminate unwanted seeds from the beginning. Some travel in the air or by birds, but pulling those unwanted weeds out of outdoor planter pots is much easier than pulling weeds out of beds, and your back will love it too. If one of your vegetable planters has some weeds in it, chances are your other vegetable planters won’t since it is harder for weeds to travel across outdoor planter pots. Mint and rosemary are examples of herbs that will easily take over a garden plot, but can be controlled and managed if grown in vegetable planters

Garden pots and planters

May 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Trap crops aren’t often used in the home garden, even though they can be very effective at keeping pests away from the more desirable fruits and vegetables.

While there is quite a few trap crops, I’m only going to be talking about two, Sunflowers and Nasturtiums, which can both be grown for food themselves.

Home Garden Trap Crops

1. Sunflowers are best known for their beautiful flowers and the great tasting seeds.

Growing as little as 2 feet tall to 10 feet plus with a variety of colors, there’s a lot of diversity among these beautiful flowers.

The thing that makes them a good plant for the garden is the fondness that aphids and stink bugs have for them. This fondness for sunflowers provides these pests with a nice diversion, any aphids that are on a sunflower aren’t on your tomatoes.

2. Nasturtium, the flowers of genus Tropaeolum, not to be confused with the watercress with the genus name Nasturtium. Don’t worry about these scientific names, walk into a nursery or garden center and ask for Nasturtium, they’ll show you the right ones.

These plants are most often used as an ornamental flower, yet they are entirely edible with the flowers most commonly being used in salads, adding quite a bit of color and a slight peppery taste.

Nasturtiums can be used in the garden to draw aphids, whiteflies and cabbage worms away from your more desirable fruits and vegetables. They also repel quite a few pests and may even attract beneficial insects.

These two trap crops are both edible and beautiful, making them a nice addition to any home garden.
