Contain Yourself! Or at Least Your Belongings

Edmonton Storage Guy — Fri, 01 May 2009 08:50:14 +0000

Boxes and bags are moving staples-whether you're using plastic tubs and under-bed storage containers, cardboard boxes, suitcases, garment bags, or even trash bags, you'll need to consider which is best suited for your items and how many you'll need; always allow for a few extra. You'll also need newspapers, packing foam or bubble wrap, tape, and a permanent marker to label your containers. Clear bags won't need labeling, because you can see their contents; use name tag stickers to label darker bags.

Right Planting For A Better Plant

Gary Antosh — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 07:35:16 +0000

Too many of us think that the deeper we sow seed and put our plants, the better they grow. Actually the opposite is true. Roots require air just as we do, and the deeper you plant them, particularly in properly prepared soils, the less air they get. As a result the less root growth you will have, and the less growth at the top of the plant. Roots of most plants should be barely beneath the surface. If you are worrying about the hot sun drying out the surface, then a mulch will correct that.

Lawn Ornaments Lawn Furniture and Birdhouses

Gary Antosh — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:55:20 +0000

Noah Webster defines an ornament as "anything that adorns or beautifies." We think our birdhouses and lawn furniture answer this definition, so they are not allowed to become shabby, every fall they are given a good thorough cleaning before being stored for winter. Maybe the clump birch and flowering plum and often other trees, like birdhouses and lawn furniture, are lumped together as "nice to have, but not really ornaments."
