Your outdoor living spaces are where you have spent a lot of time making that pathway, deck or patio a comfortable place to spend time relaxing or entertaining guests. You want to enjoy them at dusk and after dark. The right solar decorative outdoor lights and solar lamp posts make a big difference in your outdoor living areas including security and visibility to your home.
Electric deck/patio and pathway lights have to be wired and connected to switches which mean hiring an electrician and expensive electric bills. Because traditional outdoor deck/patio and pathway lights are always on at night they use an enormous amount of electricity causing higher electric bills. Beautiful and bright solar LED lighting helps reduce your high energy costs and protects the environment. Solar powered LED outdoor lighting is perfect for all areas around your home.
Our outdoor solar lamp posts are a great solution to those high energy costs. No wiring needed and easy setup allows solar power to work by daylight hours and enjoy, at no cost, bright outdoor lighting at night.
We offer the best solar powered LED deck/patio and pathway lights that are decorative and made to last. Your eco-friendly solution to secure, beautiful and decorative outdoor solar night lighting may not be the cheapest way to go, but by spending a little more upfront on quality solar powered LED lights you get the security, durability and style you want without high electric costs, saving you money in the long run.
Visit our website and view the many ways to make your home, garden, landscaping, camping and entertainment a safe, solar powered bright LED lighting way of life.

School is just about ready to let out for the summer and the students will be ready for ‘fun in the sun’ instead of homework. According to the latest studies, K-6th grade children will drop 8.3 - 9.0 months in their reading skill over the summer vacation. That is an amazingly high. That is the equivalent one grade level. With the busy summer schedules of work, summer camps, sports, and vacations it is almost impossible to keep 5 - 12 year old minds in an educational mode after school is out.
One of the problems is trying to find something they will enjoy but still be learning. An easy way to do that is to have them keep a log of the different species of birds that frequent your yard and garden. You can purchase a handmade birdhouse observatory nesting box that attaches to the outside of your window. When the birds start building their nest, the children can watch from inside the house and the birds are not aware they are even there. They will be able to watch and record every step, from building the nest, laying the eggs, hatching the babys, and mom and dad feeding the young until they are old enough to leave the nest.
On our website, you can purchase authentic handmade birdhouse for just about any type of bird that you want to attract. Each one is handmade one at a time by the Old Order Amish Community right here in Ohio. May are made from reclaimed barnwood that has weathered the elements for over 100 years.
Stop by and check out all of our Amish products, we know that you will be amazed at the quality of there wood crafting ability, also you won’t find any better prices on the web. Enjoy browsing through our web store.

Do you have window boxes, containers and planters? It’s spring and it’s time to replant them. Start by enriching the soil with worm compost. It is the richest compost there is and it is a slow release fertilizer, which is better for your plants that chemical fertilizer that released quickly into the soil, plus it is all natural!! The worm compost can also be added to your house pot plants by adding a handful or two to the soil. When you water, the minerals will slowly be released.
We have worm compost in bags for sale and you can also purchase the Worm Factory 360 and make your own worm compost.
Visit us and purchase your worm compost today. Buy it today and watch your plants florish in the weeks to come!!

Allergies: They Could Be Coming From Your Home
Yes, it is definitely allergy season! Pollen flying around, all over the cars, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, etc. But the pollen is outside—why am I still sneezing and coughing inside my house?
If you are still sneezing, coughing, have watery eyes on a regular basis inside your home, even outside of allergy season, there are usually two main factors: allergens that get tracked in / blown in from outside, and those particles that get remain floating in the inside air from dust, pollen, pet dander, etc, that isn’t caught by your air conditioner filter.
Household dust is a normal by-product of living in a house. Every time we walk on floors, scuff our feet on carpets, bump into a wall, plop down on couches / chairs / beds, we’re releasing tiny particles into the air—particles such as mold spores, tiny pieces of dirt, pet dander (if you have a pet), skin cells, fabric particles, even dust mites and their waste material and other insect parts / materials. All of these particles are foreign to our body systems and treated as an ‘intruder’ with allergic reactions following shortly thereafter.
Dust mites, in particular, are tiny living animals that are present in almost every case where dust is present, as they feed off the other particles found in dust, especially dead skin cells that humans and animals constantly release. It has been estimated that there are about 200 of these animals in every gram of household dust. And their body parts, waste material are some of the strongest known allergens on the planet. All of that ‘dust mite stuff’ is part of what is floating around that causes our allergies, even asthma. In fact, it also been found that around 60% of allergy and asthma cases are directly related to dust mite exposure. Yuck!
But it isn’t just dust mites that cause a problem. In addition to particles, there are often chemical residues from cleaning supplies, paints, solvents, dryer sheets, ‘fragrances’ of different kinds, etc., floating around as well, and many people do not know that they are allergic to these things.
So what can you do? Other than increasing cleaning efforts, you can test your air quite inexpensively with an air test kit designed to test for allergens as listed above. This type of kit is fast and easy to use, and you get lab-quality results in just a few days. No more guesswork—you’ll know what is or isn’t floating around in your air.
You can also consider getting a quality air purifier that is designed to remove 99.97% or more of these particles, and chemicals, odors from the air. One of the brands we have found most effective for allergies is Austin Air. Their Allergy Machine model features a powerful medical-grade HEPA filter and enough activated carbon / zeolite (15 pounds!) to absorb chemical residues. The company founder Richard Taylor developed these air purifiers for his wife, who has severe respiratory issues and only found relief when they began using one of these air purifiers in their home.

With Easter just around the corner, parents and grandparents will be shopping for their loved ones Easter gifts, which is usually some type of Easter basket filled with an array of Easter candy and Easter eggs. Also, there are many places holding Easter eggs hunts that you children and grand children will be attending, so they will need something to gather all their finds in. You could, as many do, just purchase your Easter baskets at the local chain stores or shopping malls along with the candy and Easter grass and have your Easter shopping completed. They down fall to this, is those Easter baskets are very cheaply made mass produced, and shipped in from other countries. You could, however, purchase a handmade Amish basket that would last for years and could be passed down to the children when they have their own homes, and instead of all the sweet candies, which we know have few nutritionally values, try adding a unique Amish solid wooden toy that will last them long after East is gone.
The Amish community has been hand making baskets for centuries; each is unique and handmade one at a time. After Easter the same basket can be used to add to your unique home décor, or add your own special items and make a gift basket for any occasion.

Just 1″ of rain yields 600+ gallons of rainwater fir each 1,000 sq/ft of roof area. That’s a lot of water that you can collect to water your garden or yard!! Think of the $$ saved by doing this. That is worth doing!
Two of our 300 gallon tanks will do the trick. They can be connected together. If you want to start small. we have several different sizes and styles of rain barrels. Our rain barrels are built to last. We also have stands for them to get them higher up off the ground. The larger tanks have two spigots. A higher one for buckets and a lower one for hoses. We have decorative ones made to blend into your landscape.
Try our soaker hose for slower release of water exactly where you want it.
Good designs. Good service. Good prices.

“Wind Chimes” A musical instrument with highest quality of frequency!
Wind chimes have long been used for a variety of reasons over the years. This ranges from warding off evil spirits to creating positive energy in a particular area. They are also known for the pleasing sounds that they create and were one of the world’s first musical instruments. Numerous musicians have utilized them to influence their compositions.
Wind chimes are similar to various other percussion instruments such as tam-tams and cymbals, in terms of creating and leading to inharmonic sounds. Each chime will play at a different pitch, whilst none will play a specific note. Whenever highest quality wind chimes tube is struck the overtones do not occur in integer intervals from the fundamental frequency and consequently are thought to be inharmonic. To make up for this phenomenon highest quality wind chimes makers will hang the tubes around 1 fifth of their length, which dampens the inharmonic overtones and brings out the fundamental frequency.
With wind chimes coming in different sizes, shapes and materials, the sounds created can vary significantly. The frequency produced will rely heavily on these particular factors. High quality wind chimes add stunning decor and also soothing sounds too many back yards across the world. They are available in many types; they can be made from bamboo, glass, metal, as well as combinations of the above mentioned. These come in a number of sizes, from three-inch long designs which make a twinkling sound to contraptions three feet long that complete the yard with deep and bold ringing.
The majority of top quality wind chimes are made by means of suspending a group of tubes in a circle with a central clapper in the middle. Makers will suspend the clapper and the pipes to ensure the clapper will hit each and every tube in the center, producing a higher quality sound. The tubes can be made of metal, or of wood, and the thickness of the tube walls will affect the sound quality. Other high quality wind chimes utilize strong cylinders rather than hollow pipes. The pitch is actually controlled mainly through the length of the tube or cylinder which is normally suspended by a string from a piece of wood that holds all of the strings in place.
As opposed to other tubular devices like the pipe organ, the actual notes made by highest quality wind chimes come from the tubes themselves, instead of a column of vibrating air like in the pipe organ. Because of this the thickness of the tube, or cylinder, and its material has such a fantastic impact on the note produced by highest quality wind chimes.
Comes and visit us at Amish handcrafted metal Wind Chimes and see our large selection of very high quality Aluminum Wind Chimes. Each “Chime” comes with a “life time mfg.warranty”.

Seeing is believing. About a month ago, I planted beets. Half the beets were planted with oir Coco Fiber and the other with none. I have been amazed at the difference in growth and also in germination. The beets without the coir came up here and there and are about an inch tall and the beets planted with the coir coco fiber came up thick and I had to thin them out. They are twice the size of the beets without the coir. What can Coir Coco Fiber do for you? Well, It has been proven to me that you will have twice the crop!! with much stronger growth. We all want maximum growth for our plants. You will also be watering half as much and will be saving on your water bills! Coir is something that will pay for itself!!
Coir Coco Fiber will aerate the soil, loosen the soil if it is a heavy soil and will hold moister in by acting as a natural sponge and not just running through your soil. It also enhances
decomposition which builds and holds the nutrients in the soil. It will remain in the soil long after you put it in. Coir Coco Fiber also an alternative to peat moss, so your are saving precious peat bogs that take thousands of years to form and years to recover. Peat bogs are part of a sensitive ceology that supports unique wildlife.

Compost will help your garden in many ways. The humus in compost feeds the micro-organisms that keep the biological process that starts the decomposing process going to build soil. Compost helps create open spaces that allow air and water to circulate through the soil instead of running off the surface. It loosens clay soil and unites the particles in sandy soils. Therefore, your plants get a steadier flow of nutrients and water for growth.In addition, compost aerates the soil creating natural plant habitat for earthworms ,beneficial microbes, and beneficial bugs to thrive underneath your garden. This helps build phosphorous - promotes strong root system that helps flowers to grow and develop ,Potassium - important for overall plant growth , Nitrogen - helps plant foliage to grow strong , and many elements such ans carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and copper to name a few. The Three numbers listed on fertilizer labels represent the Three key nutrients -Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. These are found naturally in compost and are released slower into the soil than chemical fertilizers which promotes stronger more disease resistant growth.
Composting Tumblers come in many shapes and sizes. Our Compost Wizards are designed for convenience. The are low to the ground for easy access and they won’t be toppled by wind. The spin bin design turns easily to aerate the compost for faster decomposition. The tumbler is easily removed and rolled to wherever you want to put the compost.

Fertilizing your crops the organic way is healthy for the plants, which in turn is healthy for you. Enhancing your garden with nutrient rich compost will make your crops stronger and more resistant to droughts and disease. You won’t have to water as often, saving water, and you won’t need to use chemical fertilizers as often if at all. Organic compost releases it’s nutrients at a slow pace throughout the growing season, while chemical fertilizers tend to release all the nutrients at once which can over feed plants and exhaust them.
We have the best there is to offer in organic compost. Our Wiggle Worm Soil Builder (pure worm castings) is the ultimate in building rich compost for your soil. Worm castings are without a doubt the ultimate in organic fertilizers. We also sell nightcrawler worms and worm cocoons to add directly into your compost pile and garden. Worms aerate the soil as well as fertilize it with their castings.
You may purchase your Wiggle Worm Soil Builder, worms and cocoons , and for the more adventurous gardener a Worm Factory 360 at http://www.greenraingro.com . Visit us often as we will be adding more gardening supplies to fill your needs. We strive to bring you the best!

Drop for drop, rain water is by far the most beneficial form of water for your plants. Whether you’re watering an outdoor garden full of plants or water house plants, hands down, rain water is the best. There is just now comparison. Before I got my rain barrels, I collected my rain water in buckets so that I could water my house plants with it to prevent the calcium build up in my potted plants and the plants seemed much happier. Now, rain water collection is much easier and cleaner. I use rain barrels to capture my rain water. The buckets system was okay, but they always captured leaves as well. Then there was the problem of the mosquitoes!!. Capturing your rain water in rain barrels is a much better system. You can also dispense the water much easier or even hook a soaker hose directly to the rain barrel. Our rain barrels are not only functional, but also eye pleasing and even decorative (the Urn and Rock designs) Check out and purchase your rain barrels, soaker hoses, solar pumps and much more at

Rather than sending your trash to the landfill, help the environment by recycling. I’m amazed at how much paper and cardboard I collect over a couple of weeks. Imagine a years’ worth of paper and cardboard. By recycling that waste into my composter I have I have kept quite a bit of trash out of the landfill and on top of that I have done the earth a favor by adding nutrient rich compost back into the soil. I won’t need to use as much, if any, fertilizer, which can harm our rivers, streams, and ground water. It’s just one small thing I can do for our Earth.

Why collect rain water? Ever noticed how much better your plants look after a rain? The reason for this is that rain water is soft water – It is void of the chemicals found in treated water and has a neutral PH. Along with being highly oxygenated, it is high in nitrogen. If lightning strikes through the atmosphere, it gives the oxygen and nitrogen molecules enough energy to form nitrates, which are NO3-ions. These ions react with the water and form a weak solution of nitric acid. The plants then take it up, via the water.
Rain barrels are a necessity for any gardener. They also are money savers!
Our rain barrels are built to last! They are easy to hook up and because of the amount of water you can collect you will certainly want to buy more and connect them with our easy system or check out the 300 gallon tank we offer . We have a line of traditional rain barrels and also decorative ones. Stop by our site and purchase your rain barrels today! Great prices and service. Shop at

Composting tumblers a wait your attention. Now is the time to get your Compost Wizard started working for you. The nutrient rich compost it will make is like adding gold to your soil. You will reap the savings in more than one way. Your garden will flourish. I couldn’t believe the difference in vegetables and flowers when I started adding the compost. I use to buy a truck load of compost once a year and now I make my own in my Compost Wizard for a fraction of the cost. The Compost Wizard is built to last out of recycled polyethylene plastic and makes compost in two to three weeks, which is less than half the time of a composting pile or bin. The wheeled base design is made for easy turning. Unlike the backbreaking work of shoveling or cranking, just spin the barrel once a week or after adding material. Air vents in the sides aerate the compost which is essential for decomposition. to Another feature of the Compost Wizard is that it may be lifted off its base and rolled from place to place. The Large lid is easily removed once transported and the valuable compost can be dumped or shoveled out. The Compost Wizard holds 12 cubic feet of compost. It is made to be close to the ground so that the wind cannot knock it over like some of the taller tumblers on the market. We also have a Compost Wizard starter kit that includes The Compost Wizard Jr. (7 cubic feet Capacity) coco fiber(to help your soil hold moisture) A 5 gallon stainless steel pail ,and 2 16 oz. enhanced compost accelerator pouches.

“Wind Chimes” Be Careful; they are known to reduce stress and relax you!
At the end of the day we all want to relax and enjoy our space, whether it is on a backyard porch or an urban balcony. We all want to feel relaxed and recharged.
Nature has provided us with many ways to relax-the beautiful landscape, the wonderful lakes and beaches across the country. One often overlooked element of nature that is available right in our own space, is the soothing sound of wind. The gentle sounds of wind chimes or the silent graceful movement of a metal wind sculpture.
Wind chimes have been part of different cultures for centuries. In earlier times, they played an important role in traditions and customs. The origins of wind chimes date back to prehistoric times when they were used to scare away evil spirits and birds. Over time, they were used by emperors and other high leaders to create inner peace. Throughout Tibet, Bali and Japan, it was common to see highly intricate and decorative chimes in sacred places. In China, the pitch of chimes helped to determine astrological and climate changes. China and Japan were also the first to introduce wind chimes as decorative art in homes.
Listening to wind chimes is known to reduce stress and promote relaxation and calmness. The sounds are considered to have a healing effect on body and mind. They relieve fatigue and encourage listening, creativity and upbeat feelings. The tones that reverberate through the chimes are believed to unblock emotional stress and bring a feeling of inner peace and conscious awareness. Listening to chimes also creates a sense of balance to one’s life.
In the same way that waves crashing on shore soothes us, so can the movement of wind. The sights and soothing sounds produced by the wind are thought to affect our energy and bring us calm and balance. The problem is: most people are unaware of the powerful influence on our wellbeing, and the profound effect it can have on our health. All that is necessary is to utilize wind chimes sound is to become attuned to its healing effects. Not only is it readily available, but capturing its delights is also very inexpensive.
Whether you’re relaxing with a good book on your porch, sunning yourself on your lanai or doing a little gardening in your backyard, it’s not only the look of the chime that’s important, but also the melodious sounds that enhance the tranquility of your natural outdoor setting.
Imagine yourself on a tropical island as you listen to the sounds of a bamboo chime, or lose yourself in the harmonies of the traditional aluminum chimes, or just have fun with one of the whimsical affordable chimes. What better way to relax on a lazy afternoon than to listen to the tranquil melodies of your favorite wind chime.
There are hundreds of options when it comes to using the wind to provide us with comfort, relaxation, and health.
Why not come and visit us at Amish handcraftedWind Chimes and listen to the sounds of are large selections of Aluminum Wind Chimes hand made by a local Amish Craftsman. Each Chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg. Warranty”.

Wood structures that enhance your back yard!
There are many wood projects that may be tackled in a backyard. These wooden structures can help to give a yard some interesting features. There are garden sheds, decks, gazebos, wooden seats and planters as well as kid play structures and tree houses. There are lots of ways to turn a backyard space into a project area.
When a garden has been created in a yard, where there are pathways and garden beds, placing wood seats can be a nice finishing touch. Having seating placed around a garden area, can allow people to venture out and sit down. There may be a favorite area in the backyard where some new seats could be placed.
Sheds are great places to store garden supplies or outdoor kid’s toys. When a shed is needed, instead of buying one, some people will attempt to make one.
Wishing well planter plans can also be accessed in the same way. There are different sizes and shapes that these units can be found in.
A Cedar Wishing Well is an attractive accent to any backyard. The perfect remedy to hiding those unsightly water pipes, well heads, drain covers or other unattractive area in your yard!
A Garden Wishing Wellcan also be a wonderful gift for the bride and groom as a Wedding present. It can be given at the bridal shower where it can serve as both the “gift” and the “gift center” for the smaller gifts that are traditionally purchased with a certain theme in mind, such as small kitchen or bath items. After they are married and buy their first home, they can place the Wishing Well somewhere in their yard and always have a reminder of that very special day.
Constructed of clear grain unfinished Eastern Red Cedar, it is naturally decay and insect resistant. If left in its natural state, it will weather over time to a silver-grey color.

The hospitality of your home can easily extend to your patio or garden area. One of the handy items in providing hospitality is a bistro table that seats two to four people. The Bahama 35” square teak table can be used where space is limited, or in a café or restaurant. The table stands up to all kinds of weather, so it does not have to be brought inside. It is there and ready to use when the occasion occurs.

Anyone that loves to be in the kitchen and loves to cook can really appreciate the holiday season.
Cooking for family and friends can only bring a smile to your face. The only draw back is cleaning
up from all your favorite recipes. One thing that you can do to help with this is to have your own
special kitchen apron.
There is nothing worse than to have your meal ready to put on the table or to start dishing it up to
take with you to a family dinner or church social and to splatter or spill something on your clothing.
It is much easier to put on your apron before you start. If you have a young daughter or granddaughter,
she can even have an apron just like yours. You will want to purchase a kitchen apron that is made well
enough to last and sturdy enough to keep the splatters and spills from your clothing.
The Amish women have been hand making quality stitched aprons from vintage quilts patterns for children
and adults for years. Each one is hand stitched and is made of top quality cotton and they are washable
for easy cleaning. You won’t find the Amish aprons in your local mall or chain stores where their products
are cheaply made and mass produced in other countries and then shipped to the USA. There is just no comparison
to the quality you will find in our handmade kitchen aprons.
Our website carries several handmade quality stitched kitchen aprons that are of their famous vintage
quilt patterns. We have them in adult and children’s sizes. Also, if you find a print you would like
or a special design, you only have to contact us and we can make arrangements to have your apron made
especially for you. All of our products are authentic Amish made right here in the USA.
They all come with a money back guarantee, if you are not completely satisfied.

Fall is finally here, with all of its vibrant colors. Yards, trees, and porches are dotted with corn stocks, pumpkins, gourds, scarecrows, and of course, we can’t leave out the skeletons and ghosts. As great as all of this looks, within a month or so most of it will be taken down and stored in basements, attics, and garages. Then we will proceed to bring out our bins, totes, boxes and bags of Christmas décor. This would all be much more enjoyable if all of our seasonal decorations were more readily accessible and we didn’t have a need to be going up and down stairs or in and out of the garage several times to retrieve everything. There is good news, it can be.
The Amish community is noted for their ability to hand weave beautiful and unique hamper and chest baskets, with attached or unattached lids. Their unique designs are great for storage of all your seasonal décor, and they can be left out in view to add an extra touch of class and beauty to any room. The Amish families have passed the art down for generations. Much of their income depends on their basket sales. Because the Amish live very simple lifestyles, without electric and vehicles, their only advertisement is a sign at the bottom of a driveway and word or mouth repeat customers. Their finished products will far surpass the quality of anything that you can purchase at the local mall and craft stores, many of which are mass produced and shipped in from other countries.

Light - Can Be Too Much of A Good Thing
All plant life has some basic fundamental things needed to survive.
1. Nutrients / Water
2. Media - To stablize the plant and hold the seed
3. Light
Light, although very important to the growth of the plant itself can be very harmful to the root structure. If the nutrient solution in your hydroponic garden system is exposed to too much light, algae begins to form. That is why it is very important to select commercial food grade plastic for your hydroponic grow system. To protect the young seedlings and roots it is best to cover as much of the surface as possible to only expose the seeds to the light while protecting the fragile root system.
We have a variety of net pots and lids to protect your plants from algae and root rot.

The relaxing benefits of Wind Chimes!
Wind chimes have been part of different cultures for centuries. In earlier times, they played an important role in traditions and customs. The origins of wind chimes date back to prehistoric times when they were used to scare away evil spirits and birds. Over time, they were used by emperors and other high leaders to create inner peace. Throughout Asia, it was common to see highly intricate and decorative chimes in sacred places. In some Countries, the pitch of chimes helped to determine astrological and climate changes. Asian Countries were also the first to introduce wind chimes as decorative art in homes
Listening to wind chimes is believed to reduce stress and promote relaxation and calmness. The sounds are considered to have a healing effect on body and mind. They relieve fatigue and encourage listening, creativity and upbeat feelings. The tones that reverberate through the chimes are believed to unblock emotional stress and bring a feeling of inner peace and conscious awareness. Listening to chimes also helps build a sense of balance to one’s life.
The size of the wind chimes is determined by what kind of musical tones you want to make and visual preferences. If you want small tinkling sounds, mini chimes are perfect.
Extremely large chimes will deliver a rich, deep vibrating tone. The visual effects depend on what size you find pleasing to the eye.
Gardens are known for their visual beauty, but many garden owners miss out on providing the inviting allure of sound! No matter how beautiful your garden may look, it won’t feel complete until you add a unique wind chime to it.

Creating a great home for your Plants w/ Garden Planters
Garden planters allow you to enjoy plants in areas where a traditional garden is awkward or impossible. In my tiny backyard, growing plants in planters allows you to provide the right conditions for different plants. There is a wide range of the types of garden planters that can be used to grow plants as long as it holds soil, can drain water, and is large enough for the plant you’re growing. They are available in a wide range of materials and styles to match the style of the house, garden, or planting scheme. Take into account the mature size of the plants and their growing habits. Ideally, the pot should have a diameter equal to 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the plant.
You will be better advised to going with strong, sturdy materials and some of the better options include woods like Redwood, Chorea, Northern White Cedar, Eastern Red Cedar,
Pressure Treated Pine and Teak along with some synthetic choices like resin and recycled polymer. Plus, along with holding up well under the different outdoor elements, like rain and hail, these materials also have a fantastic look to them, ideal for adding a awesome decorative touch to your outdoor space.
Whatever kind of pot you choose, make sure there are drainage holes on the bottom of it so that excess water can run out. Beware of garden planters that lack drainage holes. You can put your plants in a regular flower pots and place them inside decorative garden planters. You can place pieces of broken pots or rocks on the bottom of your pot around the drainage hole to ensure free drainage.
Plants depend on you for water and nutrients. Water serves as an important transport medium, allowing nutrients to travel from soil to plant cell. Caring for plants can be a delicate balance as plants can perish due to insufficient or excessive watering. Since plants in pots do dry out faster than their counterparts in garden beds, they also use much more water. A good rule of thumb to follow in watering plants is to fill the entire root zone with water, and then allow the soil to dry out partially before the next irrigation.
A good planting medium is important. Most plants will adapt to the potting soils being sold today. The soil mix will become compacted over time, so if your containers seem water-logged and heavy, you would want to replace your soil mix with a fresh mix.
Plant roots grow most actively in the spring, which means the plant, will be able to quickly overcome the shock associated with repotting. An over-potted plant will focus on root growth at the expense of new foliage and flowers.
So, what are you waiting for? If you want to keep on planting, the best way to do it is by purchasing some lovely garden planters.
They’re a great addition to any outdoor area and are perfect for planting just about anything. Make sure to purchase some today so you can keep on planting as long as you want.

Sunshine for Your Hydroponic Gardening
Regardless of the type of plants grown they all have the same basic needs.
Sunlight – Although different plants have different light requirements, they do need some light. For indoor hydroponic gardening, artificial light is a requirement.
Water & Nutrients – Hydroponic gardening requires that nutrients be added to distilled water or tap water with the pH balance of 6.3, but will grow in a range of 5.8 to 6.8.
Medium (media) – Hydroton, rockwool, higromite, perlite, peat moss, and sawdust are all examples of possible media used in hydroponic gardening.
Since hydroponic gardening can be done indoors or outdoors all year round, you as the gardener simply need to provide the basic grow elements for your plants to thrive.

Let’s Talk Medium
For the avid hydroponic gardeners or hobbyist, there are a few choices for grow medium (soil replacement) which are most common, all of which have their advantages or are favored for specific systems. Perlite, (form of volcanic glass) hydroton (expanded clay pellets), rockwool (minerals spun into fiber), coco coir (coconut shell) are just a few.
There is another medium fairly new to the market called higromite silica stone. Higromite, like some of the other media mentioned is completely reusable and has properties which may be better suited for plants in need of better moisture retention. Because the shape of the stone is more like natural rock, it varies in shape therefore improves stem length and stability.
Regardless of which type of grow media you use, we offer the best quality products to produce the best yield. Visit us at HydroVeggies.com for full details about each type of medium and all your hydroponic gardening needs.

Eastern Red Cedar, Makes Moth Run Scared.
A variety of woods are being used today to make outdoor furniture. The choicest of them all have been Redwood and Oak. However, the modern furniture markets are witnessing dramatic changes as more and more furniture made of Eastern Red Cedar is being manufactured and supplied.
Why Eastern red Cedar? Here are some of the reasons why Redwood and Oak have lost their sheen in the outdoor furniture market and Cedar has taken over.
Advantages of Using Eastern Red Cedar for Constructing Outdoor Garden Furniture , Planters & Lighthouses.
Cedar is used in making outdoor garden furniture for two reasons: It’s resistant to bugs and does not rot that easily. To understand the properties of Eastern Red Cedar, you’ll need to get acquainted with a few of its popular species. Here they are:
Eastern Red Cedar
In the eastern United States, one of the most common trees to be found is the Eastern Red Cedar Tree. Though the name implies cedar, the true name of Juniper us Virginiana shows that the plant is actually in the Juniper family! The red in the name refers to the beautiful reddish wood which is popular worldwide for a variety of reasons.
It is one of the most aromatic of all Cedar species and besides outdoor furniture, is frequently used to make closets and chests. The wood is strong and is weather resistant to a great extent. Furniture made from Eastern Red Cedar, if kept out in the open without any protection, will still last you over 5 decades! Eastern Red Cedar is full of knots and is very difficult to work with. As a result, it shows high resistance to termites and moisture which makes it perfect for outdoor use.
The wood of the cedar is used to make furniture and other items thanks to its durability and ease to work with. Moths are not able to stand the scent of the cedar. Other reasons why the wood is so popular is because of its resistance to rotting. Items that are made of the red cedar are often kept as family heirlooms for generations.
The Eastern Red Cedar Tree is a hardy soul. Not only is the bushy, low growing tree able to survive but thrive in thirsty, dry regions, it is also resistant to cold environments as well. Most of the tree’s longevity can be attributed to the deep root system which allows the plant to gain needed nourishment in even the harshest of areas. More proof of this is the fact that the tree can adapt to grow in just about any type of soil, though it prefers well drained areas.
More and more landscapers are finding that the Eastern Red Cedar Tree works exceptionally well for yard screens and as hedges. The column shaped tree can be trimmed and shaped into a wonderfully aromatic hedge which can help to cushion incoming sound and give a fresh scent off in the area. Advanced gardeners have found that by training the bushy tree from when it is small that they may use it as topiary in large areas as well. Since the tree has such dense foliage and grows quite quickly, these uses are becoming more widespread and popular in the eastern United States all the time.

It’s that time of year again to start clearing out your flower gardens to prepare them for spring; the irises will need thinned out, the mums will need moved every three years. If you want to put out new perennials this would be the best time of the year to plant them. While you’re adding your final landscaping touches, a rustic garden bench or a unique handmade birdhouse or bird feeder would add an extra of class to any yard and garden theme.
The Old Order Amish craftsman has been hand making unique, rustic yard and garden benches beautiful birdhouses and bird feeder for many years. Many of the Old Order Amish depend on the unique beauty and quality of each hand made product they create for their family’s income. The Amish have always been known for their great wood crafting ability, so you can be sure that you won’t match their building quality any where.

Hydroponics has had a long history and this is the first part in a three part series. Hydros is from the Greek “water” and ponos is “labor”. As early as 1627, Sir Francis Bacon wrote about this technique in his book Sylva Sylvarium, growing terrestrial plants without soil. John Woodward. 1699, researched experiments with spearmint and found plants grew better in less pure water. German botanists, Julius von Sachs and Wilhelm Knop, years 1859-65,furthered the hydroponics study in actually calling this technique “soiless cultivation”. Solution culture became the standard research and teaching model and today it is considered a type of hydroponics where there is no inert medium. Professor Gericke of University of California at Berkley, 1929, promoted a solution culture to be used for agriculture crop production. He created tomatoe vines 25 feet in height using mineral solutions rather than soil. Gericke introduced the term hydroponics but gives credit to Dr. W.A. Setchell, U. of California for the suggestion of it. Reports of Gericke’s work and claims that hydroponics would revolutionize plant agriculture prompted a huge response for more information. He refuse to share his secrets and he left the University of California. In 1940, he published his “secrets” in the Complete Quide to Soiless Gardening.

Gardening is Americas favorite hobby that does not have to end with the warm weather.
Whether you want to grow flowers, house plants, fruits or vegetables, it can be done year-round. Even if you enjoy outdoor gardening, you can use hydroponic gardening to get a jump start on your gardens by starting them indoors or in a grow room in the middle of winter then transplanting them when the time is right.
There are 3 basic elements required to grow a garden:
1. Light, Whether you place your garden indoors where there is a lot of sunlight or if you need to provide artificial light we have just what you need.
2. Medium Outdoor plants use soil for medium and nutrients, but using hydroponics you simply need medium such as rockwool or hydroton to support the plants during growth allowing only the roots to absorb the water and nutrients.
3. Water/Nutrients. Since in hydroponic gardening there is no soil, you must provide the nutrients best suited for your plants. We offer nutrients that have been tried and tested for the best results.
There are many types of D.I.Y. hydroponic grow kits

When it’s time to bring in the hummingbird and oriole bird feeders, it will be time to start thinking about getting supplies ready for our wildlife that scurry through and nest in our back yards. Most of us enjoy feeding the birds and woodpeckers, even the squirrels and occasional raccoon. The truth is because of all the forest fires, logging and constructions, many of these wild creatures will require some type of assistance in the winter months for their food supply. The first thing is to be sure that your feeders are of quality construction and that will last without falling apart in one season. The best way to accomplish this is to purchase a well built feeder from an established wood crafter.
The Old Order Amish community have been hand making quality, unique bird feeder and birdhouse for centuries. Many of them are crafted from reclaimed barn wood that as stood natures elements for 100 + years. You can be sure that they will last for many years to come.

They are crafted with primitive tools and are make here in the USA, with only materials from the USA. You won’t find them in any store that has mass produced cheap
plastic or wood products shipped in from other countries.

Show your individuality in garden designing.
If you want to show your creativity, your home garden design can be as individual as you are. When planning the gardens around your home, there are benefits you can gain by considering unique designs in the types and colors of plants you use, or the planters and features you incorporate.
There are a few things that can be done that will make this wish a reality. And nearly everyone wants a yard that is not only beautiful and manicured, but also one that stands out, draws attention and is the envy of all the passer bys.
The first thing to consider is that your gardens can include a mixture of flowering plants, colorful vegetables or herbs. When you are thinking about your individuality in garden designing, consider grouping some colors, types of flowers and vegetables or foliage you like the best. Some people like to group plants that are in the same color family, and that is perfectly acceptable and can be an interesting home garden.
Also, choose flowers that are suited to your level of skills. Some flowers, while very beautiful, require a lot of time and care to keep them looking beautiful. If you don’t have the time to constantly care for your garden, choose flowers that are self sufficient and require little to no care. While your garden may look beautiful when you first plant it, if you don’t maintain, it will just look sad and unkempt.
When thinking about your home garden design, it might be that there are certain herbs and vegetables that are much cheaper to grow on your own and a home garden is a great way to raise your own organic food.
Another great addition to make your yard stand out is to choose a great lawn decoration or two to make yours unique. Visiting a garden center, you will see just how many of these great lawn ornaments are available. Start by choosing something that relates to your garden and your gardening style. If you are looking to have that secret garden look of a cottage, you may choose something like a gazing ball, small, whimsical fountain or a wishing well. They are available in many different sizes as well. Whatever you choose, your yard will become the envy of your neighborhood if you just take the time to plan it out correctly.
Other things to consider, when designing the gardens around your home, might include natural looking features to add interest. Whether you have a dry gravel creek-bed, small pond or you devise a natural looking fountain with stones, and you can make your garden more unique and take advantage of natural parts of your land that might be a nuisance, otherwise. Creativity is the key to a garden that is unique, but you can construct trellises from many things and turn them into an attractive feature that bears grapes, tomatoes or peas, for example. It is a matter of utilizing things you already have and turning them into an attractive part of your garden that can offer the benefits of thoughtful garden design and allows you to show your creativity and individuality, as well.
Here at Amish Handcrafted Wind Chimes we carry a large selection of very unique handmade wooden container garden planters handcrafted by a local Amish Gentleman.

Christmas shopping, as exhausting as it is, will be over for another year; only to start back to the stores for returns and exchanges and to wait in more long lines. Instead of this being ‘you’ again this year, you could purchase special handcrafted, one of a kind gifts and never leave home.
The Old Order Amish Community have been making hand woven baskets, solid wooden toys, children’s furniture, and much more. Each item is made one at a time so it is unique and crafted here in the USA. The Amish products are made to last for generations to be passed down to your children’s children. The Amish rely on word or mouth advertising and repeat customers, so they are aware that each piece they create will be looked at very closely.
Our website carries over 500 + Amish products, all handmade with primitive tools, that are priced much lower than the massed marketed products that are shipped in from other countries. Even though many of the US companies have relocated elsewhere to make a larger profits for themselves, the Amish, however, living plain and simple lifestyles are still more interested in the quality of their craftsmanship and the satisfaction of their customers. That is the very reason we handle only authentic handmade items that we know our customers will be proud to purchase as gifts and for themselves. Check out our Amish line of products, and stay in for your Christmas shopping this year. http://www.amishcrossroads.com

With the economy being so uncertain today, most of us find it challenging to stay with-in our budgets and still provide healthy foods for our family. The large produce growers have loaded down their fields with harmful pesticides and hormones to produce larger and faster growing products; that even when you spend the extra money to purchase their items, they really aren’t as healthy as you think. Therefore, many families have turned to planting their own gardens and their families are receiving more essential vitamins and minerals with out all the added growth hormones. (and the government wonders why the American people are so overweight. Many of the gardens are now ready for harvesting, which means you will need a cool dry place to store many of the vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, and even some fruits when they are ready to be picked. One great way to accomplish that is with storage baskets and vegetable bins.
The Amish have been hand making vegetable bins for your kitchen and large baskets which can be used for storage with style. They are handcrafted on at a time and will last for years of use.
Our website has beautiful hand made vegetable bins and over 200 baskets to choose from.
You won’t find a better selection, better quality or better priced items any where. They are all made in the USA. Stop in and browse through our products; you’ll be amazed at the craftsmanship and quantity to choose from.

A Garden Paradise on your patio!
Whether you only have a small garden area or if time is an issue, patio gardens are a viable option for many garden lovers and there is no reason why you cannot turn your patio into a garden paradise.
You will want to look at several factors before creating your patio garden such as how much space you’re working and how much sunlight your plants will be able to get. Thinking about plant variety, size, shape and color will help make your garden stand out as a real showpiece.
You can create a hardscaping element in your patio, with your own materials, e.g. stone or brick, or you can enlist the help of a professional and choose from a number of other materials, e.g. concrete, tile, gravel or a wooden deck. Try sticking to something that suits the rest of your home’s design and helps create a simple, but attractive, look. But remember that the focus in your outdoor area should mainly be about the plants and you don’t want anything else to be too distracting
To create a distinction between your patio and lawn: You can do this by adding raised planters around the edge or creating a border with containers. Be creative with your plants here. Choose plants that will spill onto your patio or select plants of different heights.
Your patio garden could have plants growing directly in the ground or in containers or be a combination of both. This will depend on what type of patio floor you have.
Patio gardens are like an ever changing work of art. If you don’t like something or if it doesn’t work out, simply remove or replace it. Container plants give homeowners the chance to experiment with different plants, which can also mean less maintenance for the homeowner.

AS the weather’s heating up! those family reunions can really leave you baked, sitting in direct sunlight.
Trying to cool that pool deck, can be a challenge.
It’s proven that to much direct sun exposure can lead to skin cancers and dehidration. Minimizing the amount direct sun exposure can curve this greatly…
Doctors recommend spf30 to stop harmful uv rays and over exposure to direct sun light, for long periods of time…
While we cannot move our favorite maple trees where there needed, at differant times of the day, we can pre-pare in advance.
Creating artificial shade and drinking lots of water can make that family reunion,get together, or evan wedding. Much more un-eventfull and a memorable experience.
Our SMART SHADE SERIES CANOPYS, can simply create that shade and keep you, your family and the cooler, 15-25% cooler and make that family outing memorable…
With paha que 10×10 canopys, swiss gear 10×10 canopys, changing rooms, pet canopy tents and easy to setup screened zipper camping shelters.
We’re sure you’ll find what your looking for @ http://www.tentsfamilycamping.com

During the spring and summer months, most people enjoy time spent outdoors. All the top home and garden magazines now have decorating tips for our outdoor spaces. Extending your living space by having an outdoor living area is very popular in today’s society. As we all work together to protect our environment, good quality, attractive recycling containers and bins are a must for the outdoor living area. Many recycling bins are made to stay outdoors with tight fitting lids to keep out moisture and dirt.
An attractive recycling container that uses regular household trash bags means you have no special equipment to purchase. An outdoor recycling container often comes with stickers that can be applied to preserve the attractiveness, but still let everyone know what goes in that bin.
At my on-line retail recycling store, you will find a plastic recycling bin that uses 13 gallon kitchen can trash bags, is made from 25% recycled material, has a tight fitting lid and comes with recycling sticker logos and labels.

Red Cedar Planter/ Soil Recipes = Beautiful Plants
A Red Cedar planter box can create a beautiful ambiance in your backyard. A well cared for red cedar planter can convert your garden into an exotic peaceful meadow.
However, it’s not the planter’s job to produce the feel of your yard; it’s the healthy, beautiful flowers inside your planter. Sickly or malnourished flowers turn your backyard into a repugnant dump instead of a beautiful getaway. The secret to growing a lush and healthy planter box full of gorgeous flowers is in the soil and placement of planter.
Getting your plants to grow up to be as healthy as possible, you can’t just use whatever soil comes in the bag. To create the good soil for the plants you want to grow in your red cedar planter, combining different types of soil and other ingredients will help you achieve the best results possible.
It’s important to first learn the meanings of different potting soil terminology. Here is a quick reference guide which defines some common terms used in potting soil recipes.
SHARP SAND: “Sharp” sand has angular grains, instead of round grains like beach sand would. This sand helps to improve the drainage in your soil.
LOAM: Loam is a very popular potting soil. This mixture is composed of clay, sand, gravel, silt, and other organic matter.
HUMUS: Humus is decayed animal or plant matter. This substance is often formed from compost, and works as a natural fertilizer for your plants.
PEAT MOSS: Peat moss is a dark brown organic material that is made from the partial decay of vegetation in the wetland environments. The benefit of peat moss is its high carbon content.
There are many different potting soil “recipes” green thumbs have created, which each benefit certain types of plants. By using the best soil combination for the specific plant you want to grow, too ensure that your flowers will grow in your red cedar planter box as quickly and healthy as possible.
There is a basic general potting soil recipe that is excellent for garden geraniums, fuchsias, chrysanthemums, Sansevierias, Pandanus, and palms. This soil is made of one part sharp sand, two parts loam, one part leaf mold or humus, and half a part dried cow manure.
If you desire plants such as begonias, most ferns or primulas in your red cedar planter, these flowers need more humus than the basic soil mixture will provide. So, you can change the basic potting soil recipe to help these plants as much as possible. Combine a soil that is two parts sharp sand, two parts loam, two parts leaf mold or humus, and a half a part dried cow manure.
There is also another soil mixture used for many hardwood plants such as azaleas, Erica’s, Daphne, and certain ferns. This soil is composed of two parts sharp sand, two parts loam, two parts peat moss, one part leaf mold or humus, and one third part dried cow manure.
Of course, there are many other soil recipes available online, and you can find the ideal soil for whatever plants you want to grow in your red cedar planterbox.
Come visit us at Amish Furniture Crafts and see our large selection of very unique red cedar garden planters handmade by a local Amish gentleman.

This is the perfect time of year to be checking your garden each day with the anticipation of having fresh vegetables ready for harvest. When harvesting your vegetables, have you ever damaged the first picked by placing others on top of them or by dropping the container you are using only to find your harvest on the ground?
The Amish community have been planting and harvesting garden produce for generations. Some would consider experts because feeding their families depends greatly on their harvest. You can be sure that the products they use are made for rugged daily use and will be used for years. The Amish hand weave basket’s for every need and any size. Large gathering baskets to harvest produce that won’t damage easily, and smaller ones for more fragile produce. You won’t be able to match the Amish craftsmanship or their prices.
Our website carries over 200 authentic Amish made baskets. Each one is unique to itself and can’t be purchased at the local mall. You will find our prices much lower than that of any department store or craft shop and you even get to pick two accent colors of your choice. Stop by and browse through our pages and enjoy. http://www.amishcrossroads.com

The latest studies from the Board of Education, indicate that elementary age students (K - 6th grade) will lose 8.3 to 9.0 months in reading levels during one summer. That is an amazing large amount of time. Most cases a complete school year. Which means when the child starts back to school, they are already behind. Trying to juggle your busy schedule between work, summer youth sports, and vacations, it is almost impossible to keep youngsters at the age of 5 to 12 years old, in an educational mode after school has ended for the year.
On of the biggest challenges is to find something that will be fun and still educational. One easy way to accomplish both of these is to have your youngster, or grandchild keep a journal (costing $.75 - $1.25 at most stores) on the different species of birds that frequent your yard and garden. You can purchase a bird observatory or nesting box that attaches to the outside of a window. This nesting box can be used in any type of home setting. When the birds start to build their nest, your child can watch through a hole in the back of the box. Because they will be inside, they won’t be detected or disturb the birds at their work.
They can record each step from nest building, hatching the eggs, feeding the baby’s until they are ready to leave the nest. The nesting box can be cleaned and reused year after year.
On our website we offer Amish handcrafted observatories that will attach to you window with ease. All of our Amish products are crafted with primitive tools, one at a time. Each piece will be an original and produced in Ohio. Stop in and visit you will find the “Best of the Amish” at the lowest prices available. http://www.amishcrossroads.com

A Wind Chime Garden/ Arouse your Senses!
Throughout history wind chimes have been used for a variety of uses. According to ancient folklore, hanging wind chimes over your doorway would keep evil spirits away. Today, homeowners can keep negative energy at bay as well as add visual charm to their surroundings while relaxing to the soothing sounds of a wind chime garden.
Wind chimes will add a pleasant little touch to any outdoor area. The gentle music they make when the wind hits them just right is very melodic. The sounds produced by wind chimes vary based on the design and the type of material that makes up the chimes.
A wind chime garden can be created in any size surrounding. Whether you live out in the country and have extensive space, or you live in a smaller area, you can create your own personal and unique wind chime garden.
When hung outside, wind chimes can provide a wonderful addition to any landscape. Select a location that will not interfere with the mood you wish to set in order to receive the maximum benefits.
In a flower garden, they provide a welcome enhancement to water features as well as accessorizing walkways and entry ways. Also producing a number of benefits; including visual and auditory, for a soothing and relaxing way to enjoy the outdoors, there is virtually no limit to the ways in which you can enhance your outdoor living areas with wind chimes.
If you happen to enjoy integrating sound into your outdoors, a wind chime garden might be very appealing. Set your already beautiful view to music by carefully selecting a variety of wind chimes to compliment your garden area. The true beauty of a wind chime garden is that you can design it according to your own wishes and desires.
Why not incorporate smell and even landscaping into your wind chime garden as well? Add some comfortable seating to create an outdoor room. Place your garden near the main seating area to provide soothing background music while you entertain or simply gaze up at the stars. Introduce elements along with your chimes into your garden, which will arouse the senses. By lighting a large candle or burning a fire in an outdoor fire pit, you can create a romantic atmosphere that will be relaxing and intriguing.

It Really Is Possible to Grow Salad Greens in 28 Days and Supplement Your Income
Certainly, by now everyone has at least heard mention of AeroGarden. They have been on many nationally televised news casts, The Today Show, CVS, Home Shoppers Network and many more. What a great way to grow your own tasty delicatable, all natural, vitamin rich, orangic, herbs, fruits and vegetables.
The AeroGarden is what some may call the best indoor kitchen appliance. It is small enough to fit on your kitchen countertop. This tiny yet masively productive indoor hydroponic garden enables you to enjoy all the benefits of all natural food grown fresh continually from your kitchen countertop.
Unfortunately the organic foods purchased from the grocery stores are very expensive and in limited supply. Often times even when purchasing organic foods from the store, it goes to waste because it was picked days eariler and shipped from other areas and is already begining to spoil when you bring it home. Hundreds of dollars wasted on foods that spoil as soon as they are brought home.
It is difficult to purchase just the right amount of vegetables to be cost effective and have fresh produce when you need it. With the AeroGarden you simply tear off what you need, when you need it. The salad greens grow very quickly (28 days) yet produce enough for a beautiful healthy vitamin rich fresh salad a couple times per week. It’s like magic. The more you use it seems the more it grows!
Now to make the AeroGarden even better, you can also use it to supplement your income in a few ways.
Purchase a few gardens and grow enough of your own all natural organic herbs, fruits vegetables even plants to open your own "organic farmers market".
Become an AeroGarden distributor and you will not only save money on your own purchases, but you can earn commissions on sales from your customers, other distributors you bring in to work under you and yes, even on your own personal purchases. As a distributor, AeroGrow Worldwide gives you your own website free of charge! This saves all the costs associated with hosting your own website.
There is now a new garden club where customers can subscribe for auto shipments of their replacement supplies thereby giving you residual monthly income and the customers continue to enjoy their garden.

I am so happy to have a few days without the rain, when the weather is so gloomy I think the most of us lack a
bit of our sparkle and energy. I know I do. But the sun has finally broke through the clouds and it gives me
a burst of excitement and ideas. If you’re like most of us, the first warm days has a sort of magic about them.
My mind races from one project to the next, trying to come up with what I should do first. Should I race outside
for yard work, or try to get my home organized and back in to the summer mode?
With the sun shinning through the windows, showing every little dust particle and disorganization, I’ve optted
to stay inside, at least for a couple of days.
This year I am using handcrafted baskets to aide me with my cleaning
and organizing. They sure save a vast amount of space, and me alot of step. I have a stair step basket at the
bottom and at the top of the steps. This way everything going up, goes in one trip, and the same with coming down.
Several chest type baskets are great to store the winter blankets and clothing in.
All of the baskets are handmade, one at a time, in an Old Order Amish Community in Ohio. They are made to last for
generation. At Amishcrossroads, you will find baskets for any need.
There are numerous baskets to get the inside, not only organized but color coordinated.
There are also baskets for outside use. Fruit baskets, berry baskets, flower baskets and even
woven basket birdhouses.
So stop by and take a look, you even get to pick two colors to accent each basket. They will be hand woven
just for you. You won’t just be purchasing a basket, but organization and adding a touch of class to any home
decor you have,

Folding chairs are practically a necessity as complements to your beautiful deck, patio, garden, even your lawn. While they are often used as deck chairss,wooden folding chairs also fit perfectly for casual dining events, bar-b-ques, casual conversations,etc. Seating seems to be a problem at all most any event and comfortable folding chairs offer wonderful seating to guests.In between events or at the end of the season folding chairs are handy because they can simply be folded up and stored away efficiently. The ease of mobility of portable outdoor chairs also allows for easy transportation to events that friends have invited you to. Wooden folding chairs offer ambiance and elegance to get-togethers and parties, unlike cheap folding chairs such as plastic.
Our outdoor teak furniture chairs are guaranteed against manufacturer defects for two years and are all constructed of high quality teak lumber. The general consensus is that Teak is the “King of Lumber” for outdoor patio products, largely due to its durability, longevity, and low maintenance nature. Outdoor folding chairs are a great amenity and have a multitude of uses.

RELAXING IS FOR THE BIRDS
After a busy day do you find you need to just sit quietly and unwind? I sure do,
but with busy schedules at work and at home, I feel like I have to schedule a time
to relax, like I would schedule a hair appointment or a doctor’s visit.
After some research, I have found most experts tell us that as little as ten (10)
minutes of quiet time is ample to refresh us. So as soon as I finish my work day;
before I start dinner or homework with the children, I get myself a glass of iced
tea and head to the backyard, (weather permitting), find a bench near my country
flower garden, there I relax watching the birds with all their little antics.
I have a set of beautiful bluebirds
that stay with me year around. They are great fun to watch. They play like puppies.
Did you know that the bluebird prefers a birdhouse without a perch? The perch
attracts sparrows and wrens, and depending where you live, decides the size and shape of the entrance hole.
At AmishCrossroads you will find many
styles and types of Amish handcrafted bluebird houses. Some of reclaimed barn wood, for a more primitive look, some of burnt pine, but regardless what type of birdhouse you are looking for, you will be able to find one that will be handcrafted just for you.
All our Amish handcrafted items are of top quality craftsmanship and all at prices you can afford. Stop by and browse through the many handcrafted Amish products we have. We know you’ll love them just as much we do.

With all the stress today juggling a job, home, children and finances, we never seem to have enough time to just chill-out and relax. I find that if I start my day out relaxed, I am much more equipped to face a day, even when it is very stressful. I like getting up before anyone else, getting my first cup of coffee, or juice, and sitting quietly on my patio. All the little creatures are waking up also. The birds and butterflies fill the back yard, and the squirrels are scurrying from one tree to another. My handmade Amish rocker only adds to my relaxation.

Hydroponic Gardening Can Be Achieved Using Many Methods
There are 5 common methods of organic hydroponic gardening, which can be achieved many different ways. The method and means you chose is only limited by your imagination and budget.
Ebb & Flow (Flood & Drain)
Ebb & Flow method is one of the most popular methods used in hydroponics. This method requires, a waterproof tray table which is flooded with nutrient rich water solution from a reservoir via a water pump, until it reaches the drain’s height, at which point the tray will be recirculating the nutrient solution until the water pump is turned off and repeating the cycle automatically on timed intervals. This enables the plants to have the moisture, nutrients and oxygen required for thriving growth.
NFT (Nutrient Film Technique aka Continuous Flow Solution Culture)
In an NFT system, a nutrient solution flows constantly past the roots in a table or tube that is angled to ensure continuous movement of the water. Typically the nutrient solution will not be a flood of water, instead it will be a small and light flow of water leaving plenty of room for the plants to receive oxygen.
Aeroponics
In an Aeroponics system, the plants roots are typically suspended inside a bucket or tube. The plant’s roots are constantly misted with a light mist of nutrient rich water solution to ensures high aeration.
Deep Water Culture
A Deep Water Culture (DWC) system is like to an Aeroponics system, the main difference being that the plants roots in this method stay underwater, and a water pump and air stone provide movement and oxygen to the water.
Top Feed Drip
A Top Feed Drip system can be placed in any type of tray, tube, or bucket, and involves feeding the plants from the top, using 1/4 inch drip line, and a watering stake stuck into the growing medium.
Regardless of the method you choose for your organic hydroponic gardening, we are here to provide you with the supplies you need for a successful garden.

Hello from Lagrange, IN. Wind Chimes for Garden look very enchanting hung in the classic places in the garden – off the branch of a tree, from the eaves of a house or from beams on the front porch. Just make sure that if you do enjoy the sight of squirrels or birds in your back yard that you do not hang the chimes too close to where they like to hang out.
When you hang Windchimes in your garden you might want to consider hanging them near enough to your home so that you can also hear them when you are indoors. If they are particularly attractive it is recommended that you hang the so that they can viewed out of a picture window. This way you can enjoy the sight and sound of your Wind Chimes both inside and outside of your home even if they are hanging outside in the garden.
Check out our large selection of high quality Wind Chimes handcrafted from an Amish Craftsman here locally.

The Medium of Choice
Regardless of your preferred method of gardening, the medium used can make all the difference in the success of your garden. Medium for hydroponics comes in a few different options, therefore some pre-garden planning is essential. Some plants require a heavier type of medium along with a trellis system to support the proper growth of the plant others simply need a means to support the seed during the germination then maintain support.
Hydroton is a clay type kiln dried pebbles are very light and maintain moisture. Typically sold in 10 or 50 liter bags they must be cleaned before use.
Pea Stone is simply pea sized stone which is very heavy therefore perfect for using for container gardening of trees and scrubs.
Perlite is a volcanic mineral which is small snow white pebbles which are perfect for holding the nutrients and water. It is very light weight and is used most often in combination with organic potting soil.
Rockwool looks a great deal like a fiberglass, however is actually made from melting igneous rock and dripping it onto a spinning disk to dry (like cotton candy). It is very versitle and can be used alone or in combination with any other medium.
Regardless of the medium you choose, we have what you need for a successful organic garden.

WHY BUY TEAK FOR OUTDOOR FURNITURE?
Why buy teak when other hardwoods are less expensive? There are no comparables to teak for durability when used outdoors. Most other woods require a protective finish that has a relatively short life of a few years. After the finish fails, then what? Refinishing furniture is a tedious expensive process. High quality teak will last for many decades with out a finish. When used outside, the sun will bleach the wood to a silver grey patina that blends nicely with outdoor surroundings. Teak furniture left in this state needs no treatment what so ever, to give many years of service. This is about as easy a maintenance schedule as it is possible to get!

There are a number of options available when selecting what wood to use for outdoor garden planters, and each will lend its own unique color and properties to your project. What choice is best for you will partly depend on what type of outdoor project you are building.
If you live in the Pacific Northwest, Western red cedar will be commonly available, while other species, such as cypress will be more readily available in the Southeastern United States.
Below are several of the more common wood choices for outdoor wooden planters use, as well as some of their advantages and disadvantages.
You must make special consideration when building outdoor wood planters. Unprotected wood, regardless of the species used, will eventually deteriorate when exposed to rain, wind and sun. Some species are more durable than others; they should all be protected in some way to ensure their maximum useful life.
Cedar
Cedar is softwood with very desirable decay resistant properties. The two most common species available are Western red cedar and Eastern white cedar. Both species are easy to work with, and are sufficiently strong for most outdoor applications.
Cedar contains natural oils that resist decay and insects, as well as provide that pleasant cedar aroma. Cedar is the wood of choice in much of the country for many outdoor applications, such as planters, decks, furniture, fences, shingles and siding.
Of the two species! Both species, however, take paint and stain well. Because cedar is a softer wood, it is more susceptible to dents and dings. If you want a clear finish on your cedar project, an oil finish is recommended.
Cedar is usually less expensive than many of the other options available, and because of this, is an excellent choice for a project.
Teak
In many people’s mind, teak is the premium choice for outdoor furniture. Teak is exceptionally strong.
Teak is very oily, which makes it resistant to moisture, insects and fungus, and makes it unsuitable for painted or stained finishes. Teak will weather to a silvery gray if left unfinished. Teak, being a tropical hardwood, however, is increasingly rare and very expensive.
Because of the high levels if silica found in teak, it is very hard on cutting tools. In fact, carbide or diamond cutting tools are a necessity. Due to the hardness of the wood, all screw or nail holes will have to be pre-drilled. The oils in the teak also make gluing somewhat more complicated.
While teak is a very beautiful wood, and exceptionally well suited for outdoor planters, its cost may make it impractical for your project.
Chorea
Chorea is a newcomer to the American market from Indonesia. With the influx of furniture imported in the last decade or so, it is becoming increasingly more common. Chorea is a good alternative to teak, having many of the same properties. Chorea furniture can be purchased fairly inexpensively; as it is only available thru specialty hardwood companies, purchasing the lumber becomes more difficult.
Mahogany
Mahogany, like teak, has long been the choice material for wood craftsman to its excellent weather resistant properties. This is true of the dark red heart wood, not the lighter sap wood. Three species of mahogany are commonly available. Honduran and African mahogany are primarily used for furniture and other outdoor applications, while Philippine mahogany, with its coarse open grain, is mainly used for interior doors and trim.
Mahogany is an excellent choice for outdoor furniture & planters, and usually less expensive than teak. Mahogany is well suited for paint, stain, varnish and oil finishes. Left unfinished, mahogany will also weather to a silvery gray color.
The best type of wooden planters, are made from hardwoods, naturally. Wood is a natural product and it allows soil and roots to breathe. It is also porous so you should be careful that outdoor plants in wooden planters do not get flooded. For this reason, cedar wooden planters seem to be the planter of choice for outside planters.
Always add plants with the soil that they are in when planting them in a wooden planter. So the plant will not become shocked and die. You can also add worms to the soil in the wooden planter to get the soil to turn in a natural fashion. This is how the soil in the land is turned so it is good to emulate nature in this manner.
Wooden planters look good just about anywhere around your house. They add a touch of class and have a better quality look than plastic planters which can look somewhat cheap. Once you have purchased wooden planters, you will not want to go back to plastic. And wooden planters will last a good long time, especially if you get one that is made of cedar.
Whether you want to put it in your backyard, front yard or on your balcony or deck, a wooden garden planter can do wonders for the décor of your garden and your home. You can use your imagination a bit and really come up with some ideas to make your garden and the outside of your home into a floral showplace using wooden planters.

Mothers Day/Give her a flower paradise!
One way for mom to achieve attractiveness in her garden or patio is a beautiful landscape design including colorful flowering plants. You can place them anywhere in your patio and garden area to add beauty to the place and one way to do it is with a wood planter.
The garden is the daintiest area of a home’s exterior. Marked with rows of shrubs and blooms, its arrangement, captures much wanted attention from the owner and passers-by, alike. Garden planters are a big part of such arrangements. Through them, she can properly segregate the plants in her garden, building an attractive theme. Place a number of well-arranged wooden planters in the area and her home’s exterior will come as endearing as a nicely-written novel.
Among all garden planters, the ones made of wood are preferred by most homeowners. Wood planters are sturdier than your flower pots and will not damage easily, can be used outside and you can enjoy their function for years. They complement garden shrubs, particularly flowering plants, well. Wood, adding a hint of intricacy to a natural theme, blends perfectly with most garden arrangements. They come in different choices of designs; shapes and sizes so you can choose the one that will add beauty to her outdoor setting and meet her needs. And will also complement the beauty of her flowers.
Garden planters can turn an ordinary garden into a lush paradise. Using these kinds of planters is one way to show off your creativity in gardening and planting flowers. By implementing proper plant segregation, you can recreate paradise right outside her home. Let your imagination fly. She will love frolicking in her new garden. And visitors will appreciate what she has for her garden.
Here at Amish Built Lawn Decor we have a large selection of very unique wooden planters that are handcrafted by a local Amish Gentleman, that would make for a very nice gift for mom and make her feel how very special she is to you, if she was to receive one.

Many outdoor fire pits do not have a rim or mantel to rest your feet close to the fire or set down your drink when tending the fire. In addition, when you are cooking on your fire pit grill, you do not have a place to set your grilling utensils or condiments.
For many people, this is just fine but if you prefer to have a place to set things or rest your feet, you need a table style outdoor fire pit. A patio firepit table solves all these problems by including a mantel or table into the design of the fire pit. The mantel provides a place to set drinks, rest your feet, or keep your tools handy. The mantel also helps to prevent anybody from coming into contact with the hot fire bowl.
A very popular mantel style fire pit is the UniFlame 34-inch Slate and Marble Mantel Fire Pit with copper accents in the mantel. BBQandFirePitPros.com has many styles and designs of Outdoor Fire Pits, including a wide variety of mantel and table style fire pits, as well as many other outdoor cooking products.

So you want to buy a food smoker but there are so many choices and you do not know which one is right for you. With all of the types and styles of barbeque smokers out there, you need to make a few decisions before you pull out your money. How often will you be smoking foods, how much food do you want to smoke at one time, what kind of fuel do you want to use, how much do you want to spend?
If you are new to meat smoking and don’t want to spend a lot of money yet, or you think you will only smoke food every once in a while, we recommend you choose a compact vertical water smoker. In this type of BBQ smoker both the cooking heat and the smoke are generated in a firebox located beneath the foods to be smoked. You can choose from charcoal, electric, propane gas, and other types of fuels to power your vertical smoker. A typical compact vertical BBQ smoker will cook from a few pounds up to around 50 pounds of food at one time, they are easy to use and they do not take up much space to store away when not in use.
At BBQandFirePitPros.com, we feature Brinkmann Smoke’N Grill and Gourmet BBQ Smokers. The Brinkmann name is well known for barbeque grills and smokers that work well, last a long time, and are easy to use to create great tasting smoked foods.

Deck Planters/ K OZ organizer of gardening.
Recreational gardening is supposed to be a refreshing and relaxing experience, to bring you close to nature and enjoy the fruits of her bounty. It’s certainly not meant to be work. Leave back-breaking labor to others and step away from your garden patch. Deck planter boxes are not only just ideal for gardeners with limited space; they optimize the gardening experience in many ways that traditional gardens cannot.
One of the built-in benefits of deck planter boxes is their ability to move around. Get your plants away from the back corners of your garden and up onto the action of your deck or patio. Treat your party guests to the scent of seasonal, colorful blooms. Grab some fresh basil or mint to spice up salad. You can reap the benefits of nature and have it all right at your fingertips. Plus, planters can be arranged and rearranged according to size, color and more so your outdoor furniture will never look tired or stale.
Deck planter boxes appeal to the Type A personality in us all by playing up to our inner control freaks. With planters, you can micromanage water and sunlight levels, along with soil content by separating different plants with different needs into their own planters.
With deck planters, you can separate those plants that require direct sunlight, partial sunlight, and shade as well as those that take more or less water. Once they’re separated, they can be moved to those areas of your deck which befit their requirements, and then moved again if those environments change.
There’s also the luxury of being able to grow all sorts of different plants in separate deck planter boxes that would naturally never survive in the same soil conditions as one another. Some plants, for instance, require different nutrients, or thrive in a more or less acidic soil composition. A desert garden that uses sand instead of soil can have you growing cactuses just a few feet away from your tropical flowers planter.
Come visit us at Amish Furniture Crafts and see our very large selection of handmade wooden DeckPlanters made of Red Cedar or Pine and handcrafted by a local Amish Gentleman.

Lawn Decor /Have you wanted to change your backyard disaster into a beautiful Oasis.
Backyard decorations can turn unused, boring, or unattractive space into an area of beauty, tranquility, fun, and more. One of the best ways to beautify a backyard is with colorful flowers and interesting plants. There are decorative items that make it easy to create an impressive flower or herb garden in the backyard. Choosing a theme or style of design is the starting point for creating an impressive and unique backyard.
One theme is container gardening which is a very popular hobby. It is planting flowers or interesting plants in unique containers instead of in the ground in the garden. These containers can be displayed anywhere in the space instead of having to be in the flower garden. The containers can actually become a major part of the garden design. Wooden planters create a rustic look. Wrought iron planters help with a more elegant space. Terra cotta planters and ceramic pots give a more traditional feel and these are just a few of the many container options.
To create a nature themed backyard, items such as bird baths, bird feeders, and a small vegetable, flower, or herb garden help set the tone for a naturalistic back yard retreat. Wind Chimes, a fire pit, and rustic furniture give a back yard a mountain retreat type atmosphere. Gnomes, woodland creature statues, and rustic solar lights all enhance the nature theme.
A classical and elegant look includes figurines and statues. They can be placed in various locations throughout the yard. They can be semi-hidden among the flowers and plants or placed under a tree in the yard. Solar lights create a romantic ambience. Stepping stones and gazing balls add color to a backyard. Also, container gardening can enhance this theme. Planting flowers and placing them around your space, is not only aesthetically pleasing, but the aroma is relaxing and inviting too and can even be a little romantic as well.
And additional theme is large objects that make a statement in your garden. Fountains are stunning to look at and the burbling water is a soothing influence to any space. Wire or metal sculptures can be artistic and abstract and show off your good taste and concrete statues are classic and awe inspiring..
Of course, there needs to be some type of seating in the garden. Once such a beautiful garden space has been created, it should be enjoyed. A pathway lined with solar lights could be designed to lead directly to a bench, an outdoor swing, or a couple of chairs arrangement near or in the center of the garden. A solar spotlight could be used to illuminate a uniquely shaped plant or shrub at night.
Another cool theme many choose is to make the yard look like a day at the beach or give it a tropical island feel. This can be accomplished with bamboo torches, tiki items, canvas chairs, colorful lights, shells, sand, garland, and festive tables.
Backyard decorations can make the exterior space of a home as attractive as the indoor area. They are an ideal form of self-expression.
Here at Amish handcrafted metal wind chimes we have a very large selection of Amish handmade wooden garden planters that are very unique and would make a beautiful addition to any Backyard Oasis

Home Herb Gardens – “Aesthetic value to your indoor garden”.
Home herb Gardens are becoming one of the most preferred methods of having herbs to use in cooking and for aromatherapy. Herbs not only look lovely in your garden but the aromatic smell of these herbs makes a refreshing aroma in the kitchen if you wish to grow windowsill herbs. It is important to have an herb garden planter in your home so that it can add an aesthetic value to your indoor garden.
Fresh herbs make a delicious ingredient in all your dishes whether it be a cooked dish or using them fresh in salads or dips.
The herb planter
Growing herbs in a planter is advantageous for easy accessibility when you need them because the planter can be placed outside the kitchen door or even indoors.
What does need to be remembered is that the smaller the planter the more frequently it will need to receive fertilizer because the plant will be depleting the soil of nutrients more rapidly.
How to choose your planters
Choosing your herb garden planter definitely depends upon the amount of space you have in your outdoor area as well as indoors. Most herbs will grow in more or less any planter so this will not be a problem for you when choosing your planters, except for the more vigorous herbs like the mints.
Herbs can grow separately in a single planter or you could even plant several varieties in a large container. If you plan to choose a large herb garden planter to plant several different varieties then you make sure that they are not overcrowded and that each plant has adequate space to develop and attain its full potential.
Some herbs become extra large when they reach their maturity so be careful to choose your herb garden planter according to the size it might reach. Always remember to place a layer of rocks at the bottom of the planter before you add the soil as this will help to maintain a better drainage system.
Here are a couple of tips for getting started with growing herbs successfully.
1. Decide which herbs you would like to have in your garden.
If you are interested in culinary herbs you will choose differently from someone who is interested in growing medicinal or aromatic herbs.
2. Once you have decided on the purpose of your herb garden then it is time to select which herbs you want to grow. Some of the culinary herbs that grow well in containers are basil, chives, mint, fennel, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and tarragon. Dill is the kind of plant that grows best from seed. Dill plants tend to be rather short lived.
3. Buy containers with adequate drainage and good compost. Be mindful of the fact that it helps to know which growing zone you live in.
When you begin growing your herbs, you will be surprised by the pleasure it will give you. The scents and flavors will infuse your life.
Here at Amish Furniture Crafts we have a large selection of very unique wooden garden planters that are handmade by an Amish Craftsman that would make for some very nice herb planters.

Wooden Garden Planters/ Functional addition to your outdoor décor!
Wood garden planters are a beautiful and functional addition to any outdoor setting. Whether they are placed on a small balcony or within a large garden, a well-chosen wood planter will both complement and enhance the décor. Wood planters are durable, sturdy and easily crafted into different styles and finishes. A colored stain lets the grain of the wood show through while adding interest and texture. You can get more creative by adding a stenciled pattern to the wood for a wonderful effect.
The versatility of wood planters is unlimited. They can be used as window boxes, hanging containers and self standing planters. These planters are striking at front doors, on patios, in gardens and lawns.
You have a lot of choices out there. Here are some tidbits of information I have gathered. Also ask a gardening friend or your local shop about their thoughts as you decide what type of material is right for you. Quite often it is hard to find a variety in retail stores, so an online solution might be best.
• Teak planters are elegant and long-lasting. The wood is resistant to decay.
• Redwood cedar is durable and has a natural resistance to rotting.
• Wood planters in general (versus plastic) hold their handsome appearance year after year with very little maintenance.
• Painted wood planters can complement home design and color.
• Wood planters work well with other accessories like benches and trellises.
• Cedar wood planters add personality and tradition.
• Wood planters come in many shapes and sizes.
• Wood planters do better in colder weather and provide more insulation than other planter materials.
Extending the life of your wood planter is easy and requires very little effort. If you decide to treat the wood with a stain or waterproofing agent prior to planting it, make sure it is a non-toxic agent. Next, line the planter with heavy duty plastic. The plastic will keep water away from the wood. Fill the bottom of the planter with a layer of crushed rock followed by soil, leaving about three inches from the top.
You are now ready to plant flowers, plants or vegetables from your local nursery. You cannot go wrong by spreading the love of flowers, plants and vegetable gardens. One of life’s little pleasures is the world of gardening.
Come and visit us at Amish built Lawn decor and see our large selection of very unique handmade woodengarden planters handcrafted by a Local Amish Craftsman.

Wind Chimes / A unique statement for today’s lifestyle!
The modern life can eat up your time and energy, especially if you do not know how to balance work and play. You need to find time to relax, smell the flowers, sing, dance and laugh.
Each of us has our own means of coping or breaking free from the daily pressure and hustles of life. Some find comfort in spending time with their friends and loved ones, while others find sheer pleasure with themselves simply by watching the sunset or walking in the garden. A garden is usually one of the havens for comfort, peace, and joy. Merely walking around to watch the flowers or the birds soaring up high can ease your troubles. Aside from the natural work of nature, the soothing effect of your garden or can be made more effective if you adorn it with wind chimes. Chimes can add beauty that can appeal not only to your eyes but to your ears as well, but also make a unique statement about your landscaping decor.
Original wind chimes were made from small metal bells that served as accompaniment during religious ceremonies in ancient China. They were also used as decorations for temples and pagodas of other Asian countries. A wind chime only requires a simple movement to produce the tones. You can move it yourself or hang it on your doors or windows for the wind to sway it. Wind Chimes have gone through plenty of modifications in modern days. Their designs and uses have changed tremendously too.
Today, you find them being used in yards, patios and gardens. It is the wind that is expected to play them as they hung outside. They are made of rods, suspended tubes and other items. Metal, wood, aluminum and other materials that are light in nature are used to design them.
Their construction is done using materials that are waterproof in nature. These materials enable them to be successful in resisting all weathers as they are situated outdoors. The thickness, width and length of the materials used to make the chimes will determine the frequency of the sounds they make. Therefore, a big chime makes a different sound from the sound made by a small chime. Others sound like a particular song because they are hand tuned. The materials should therefore be naturally light to be swayed by a gentle breeze. Sound is produced when the tubes and rods hit against each other when the wind blows.
The use of chimes is mainly providing a variety of tones that are pleasing for relaxation in the garden, lawn or patio. They enable you to hear nature’s music. Thus they have a calming, peaceful effect that can drive away stress. They can be quite a nice gift to buy for a dear one too because they are durable and beautiful.
Chimes are of various colors and designs. They add color, beauty and elegance to the garden and so are used as ornaments. There are designs for all seasons and every day enjoyment. Examples are chimes made for valentine day, Halloween among others. Personal taste dictates the chime an individual chooses.
Here at Amish handcrafted Metal Wind Chimes we carry a large selection of handmade and tuned Aluminum metal Wind Chimes handcrafted by local Amish Craftsman. Each Chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg.Warranty”

Damn, it’s Cold here in Western Colorado! Still, one can’t help but be anxious for Spring, it’s Feb 10th and Spring is just around the corner according to the Groundhog.
So, let’s start planning our “Welcome to Spring Parties”. For starters, you will want to plan your Patio, Deck, or Garden parties with plenty of amenities. For instance, you will want to have plenty of seating, including some form of bar seating. There is something about “ bellying up to the bar” that promotes friendship, comeraderie, and intimacy. Additionally; having a bar on the premises of your home allows not only a cost savings versus the bar scene, but some direct discretion over who is drinking and how much they’ve had. If they can’t stay overnight with you, at least you have some discretion over who gets them home, safely.
Our home bar sets and tables are all constructed of Solid, Grade –A teak lumber, famous for it’s durability, longevity, and attractiveness. Many of our bar tables and bar furniture are portable, meaning they can be transported either manually, by being lightweight, or by wheels, to poolside or other outdoor recreational parties with a minimum of effort.
The possibilities are endless – The choice, quite simply is yours! Please view our unequaled, beautiful bar sets at Bar tables and Sets

Want to create some great color and activity in your back yard? Start out with Bluebirds. Over the years, land has been cleared for housing and industrial developments, shopping malls, highways, and cropland; many old trees have been cut down for firewood. Wooden fence posts that provided nesting cavities have now been replaced with metal posts. With modernization, the supply of natural nesting cavities for bluebirds and other native cavity nesters has been greatly reduced.
Compounding the problem of habitat loss has been the introduction into North America of two imported species - the House Sparrow and the European Starling. Both starlings and sparrows are cavity nesters, and both are very aggressive. House Sparrows are small enough to enter any hole that a bluebird can, and are so aggressive that they will chase away the more timid bluebird. Starlings can be excluded from bluebird boxes by using the correct size entrance hole, but will out-compete bluebirds for woodpecker holes and other natural nesting cavities.
During the summer, bluebirds feed mainly on insects. In the winter, bluebirds depend on many kinds of wild berries for their food supply. However, the supply of wild berries has also decreased over the years. The few berries that remain are often stripped quickly by large flocks of starlings.
Even though the bluebird population has greatly decreased, the future can still be promising for them. The most important step we can take to help bring back the bluebird is to provide nesting sites by setting out a bluebird box or starting a bluebird trail. A bluebird trail is a series of bluebird boxes placed along a prescribed route. In areas where nesting boxes have been put up in suitable habitat, bluebird populations are increasing. Bluebirding is a great environmental, hands-on project that people of all ages can enjoy.
I found the greatest bluebird houses and a bunch more. Check them out. http://www.amishcrossroads.com

Did you know that the monarch butterfly is the only insect to make a two-way migration as bird do? They will travel 2,500 miles from North America to Mexico to spend the winters. During the last several years, the population of the monarch butterfly has be on a decline. Due to man building roads, logging out timber and the brush fires, the milkweed that the monarch need to survive is being destroyed. If you would like to help preserve the monarch, you could leave any wild milkweed growing on your property and plant a butterfly bush to attract them in the spring. You will even find a butterfly house on our website to help you get started. http://www.amishcrossroads.com

Spring is just around the corner, and soon there will be many plausible excuses for putting together some form of outdoor recreation party. The fun and intimacy of getting together with friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. in spring and early summer environments are unsurpassed, and yield memories that will last a lifetime. Cabin fever is over, and it’s time to get outside and have fun!
One of the most fundamental components of such parties are outdoor bar table sets. The comradery of sitting down with close friends and having a couple of drinks brings closeness and renews friendships, and is an important component of friendly interactions.
We offer many products that feature teak wood furniture for outdoor and indoor purposes. One example of this is our offering of counter and bar stools. In addition to the aforementioned outdoor bar table sets, you might be fortunate enough to own a home with a breakfast bar in the kitchen/dining area. Obviously, there is potential for these barstools to be used at both locations. Our featured outdoor bar tables and chairs are all constructed of beautiful teak lumber, unparalleled in longevity, durability, and reliability. They also feature low-maintenance, and aesthetic beauty beyond belief.

Spring is coming,(Thank God), and soon we will all be focusing on getting outside and enjoying the start of warmer temperatures. Whether you are planning to host or attend a neighborhood bar-b-que, pot-luck dinner, or similar outdoor recreation party, portable outdoor chairs are convenient, wonderful items to possess. Seating seems to be a problem at any of these events, and no one wants to stand, or sit on the ground, when they can relax in a comfortable chair, and enjoy the interaction with friends and other guests at the event. Folding outdoor wooden chairs offer not only the comfort and convenience of relaxation, they also offer portability,as well as easy, minimal storage options. When the event of your choice is complete, you can just fold them up and carry them away, or easily store them for the next great event.
Our inventory of wooden folding chairs includes both teak outdoor furniture chairs, which are constructed of high-quality genuine teak lumber, or, somewhat more affordable, our selection of folding outdoor wooden chairs which are built from merbau timber, another quality hardwood that features many of the same attributes as teak, longevity, durability, and of course, aesthetically
pleasing appearance. Both the Teak and Merbau chairs offer our traditional two-year warranty, and both are available for Free Shipping within the Continental United States. We also feature very competitive prices and first class customer service, should you need assistance with your order.

Your Garden, the importance of decorating it.
Decorating your garden is as important as decorating the interior of your house you will want to find items which look great. You will want different areas of your garden and one area should be relaxing for you to sit and unwind at the end of the day. In this area you should have comfortable furniture and relaxing decorations, unique wooden planters, including garden wind chimes. Whichever ones you choose will look fantastic and provide you with a relaxing view or sound.
The original design of the garden chimes were made from small bells that would make a noise when the wind blew through them. These designs were very popular in China and would be used for religious ceremonies. Even today you can find these designs in churches and places of worship and they are often moved by hand to get the sound. You can have your chime made from wood, metal or even china and all will sound different.
When you are sitting in your garden you will love to hear the wind gently blowing through the chime as it will create a great sound. They come in different sizes and depending on the size will often determine the noise that comes from them. There is something very calming and natural about listening to the wind going through the wind chime.
Finding the right place for your wind chime may take some time as you want a gentle breeze and sometimes the wind blows far too quickly. If you place the garden wind chimes in the ideal place then you can in fact deflect the noise from other things such as noisy roads or railway lines. Once you have found the perfect place then you can spend long summer evenings lying in your relaxing area. The noise from the chime will soothe you and make the world seem a calmer place.
If you place your wind chimes in the correct place in your garden they can in fact deflect the noise from other things. You will feel relaxed when your chimes are gently making the noises and tunes they know how to. You are implementing a stress free area in your garden by bringing a touch of the four elements into your garden. Garden wind chimes are believed to bring good luck to their owners which is even more reason to have them hanging in your garden.
Whatever you’re reason for having wind chimes in your garden they will look and sound amazing, they can finish an area off very well. You will be amazed that no two wind chimes will sound the same and if you have them in different areas of your garden then you can change the feeling. As you wander throughout your garden you will experience different feelings depending on the type of garden wind chimes you have placed there. Guests will love sitting and relaxing in your garden with the gentle noise from your wind chimes.

One of the most popular styles of star tattoo designs are nautical stars. Nautical stars have a long history in the world of tattoo designs dating all the way back to the early sailors, specifically Sailor Jerry, and his many tattoo designs.
In those days, before modern navigation, sailors would navigate in part by the stars in the night skies, in particular the North Star in the Northern Hemisphere, and various other constellations of stars in the night sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, sailors had to use different stars and the Southern Cross became quite well-known. Sailors would then tattoo nautical stars on them because they relied on the stars to take them home, and being superstitious, they hoped their star tattoos would get them home safely as well.
Nautical stars don’t have to have a great deal of significance to be appreciated for their simplicity, symmetry and ability to serve as a backdrop or an additional ornamental element of any decor.
Many military people get a nautical star as a symbol for finding ones path home safely. Of course this can also include more symbolically just finding ones way in life. You see many punk bands that have full sleeve tattoos typically incorporate nautical star tattoos either on their elbows or elsewhere. The punk movement traces its history and use of the nautical star back to Sailor Jerry. Sailor Jerry is historically one of the most famous tattoo artists ever. He was well known for his innovative and “cool” designs. Punks have taken this symbol and it has very much the same meaning of finding one way in life.
Most people associate tattoos of stars with high achievement, persistence, or a striking and illuminating event in one’s life. Whether you really are a sailor or maybe an astronomer, these tattoos don’t have to mean anything about who you are. In that sense, they are ultra modern abstract representations of beauty and stability. If you want your nautical stars to have deeper meanings, you can add variations to them. Some people even go as far as to add a skull with their tattoos. A single star alone can make a powerful and dynamic statement of your being and future aspirations.
I have found several of these nautical stars and more in this shopping mall at http://www.amishcrossroads.com/ You should really check this place out!

Garden wind chimes are an excellent way to provide character and charisma to outdoor spaces. In addition to the general ease of installation, they can be purchased at low prices, which enable gardeners to use multiple models. By offering a wide array of materials and styles, manufacturers cater to a large audience of outdoor enthusiasts and green thumbs. Wind chimes were initially constructed of the most available resources: wood, bone, bamboo and stones. As the craft evolved and served different purposes, other materials were integrated into their fabrication. Metal is currently popular as the size and thickness can create different melodic tones for tranquil sounds.
Deep solid tones may be produced by wind chimes made of metal. By adjusting the position of certain components and the way the materials are stringed, the tune may alter. The kind metal also affects the tune.
In the past, wind chimes were only played in the temples and official ceremonies in Ancient China. Later, eastern Asian neighbors used this instrument as part of Feng Shui.
The history of wind chimes dates back roughly 5000 years. It is of not that they did not start in one area or society but in several different regions of the world, simultaneously. Just as their birth from several separate societies spanned a long period of time, the purpose of garden wind chimes is as varied as its innovators. They have been placed in outdoor spaces for the purposes of meditation, spiritual dedication, warding off evil spirits and honoring the voice of the wind, among others.
The oldest models excavated, from a region of south east Asia, were thought to fend off demons or evil spirits. Artifacts found elsewhere in the world that date from a similar period, however, seem to indicate the wind chimes were used to keep birds and predators away from crop and cattle. The Chinese, sometime around 1100 B.C., began mastering the production of bells and thus opened the door for the use of bells. Wind bells, as they were commonly known, became popular for use in the house and on shrines as a means to fend off unwanted energies. The popularity of wind bells in houses and shrines translated well to common outdoor spaces. These practices moved west with the spread of Asian influence in art and design.
As the wind passes through the chimes and creates beautiful tunes, it is believed to bring good health, fortune and prosperity.
Here at Amish handcrafted metal Wind chimes we carry a very large selection of very high quality handmade Aluminum Metal Wind Chimes, handcrafted be a local Amish Craftsman. Each Chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg.Warranty”

So, winter is here, (Bummer) but football, both pro and college is in full swing, and getting more interesting everyday. There are many surprises in both categories this year, and we are all firing up to see what the final outcomes will be. You and your significant other are planning parties for you and your friends and expect to have memorable times. While the menu is a great part of the party, the ambiance of the furniture accompanying the main course is also important to the memories of you and your guests. No party is complete without a complimentary bar/barset at which your friends can relax, and have a few adult beverages with which to reduce their inhibitions and further enjoy their experiences/memories. Teak wood furniture is a great means by which to both impress your guests and instill pride of ownership in your indoor/outdoor living area.
Tonight, we want to focus on our bar tables, constructed of high quality kiln-dried teak lumber. They feature low/no maintenance, decades of longevity, and pride of ownership. They are backed up with our manufacturer’s two year resideidential warranty, so that you have no worries about our advocacy for you, our customer.

It is time to protect your outdoor fire pits and barbeque grills from the winter weather. You don’t want to have to clean off the leaves or pine needles and drain out the rainwater before you can light your bbq grill or gas fire pit. You also want to protect your investment and keep it looking like new for years to come.
A waterproof outdoor grill cover like the 60″ Premium BBQ Grill Cover will keep your barbeque grill clean and safe from the elements. Your grill will be ready to use when ever you want and the outdoor cover easily slips back on to protect until the next time you want to do some gourmet grilling.
At the ‘Pros we have round, square, and rectangular covers that fit many fire pit and barbeque grill designs, they fit as well as covers designed to fit just one product and they do not cost nearly as much. Our BBQ and Fire Pit Covers are made with durable heavy gauge vinyl or woven polyester mesh material that will protect your grill or fire pit for many seasons.

This is the perfect time of year for an outdoor fire pit because you can not be certain if it is going to be nice and warm outside or how chilly it is going to be. Fire pits are a great centerpiece for outdoor entertaining when it is nice outside and even better when it is a little bit cooler out.
Wood fueled fire pits add the sounds of a crackling fire, the glowing coals, and the aroma of burning firewood to the atmosphere of your get together and propane gas fire pits like our 32” LP Gas Fire Pit with Tile Mantel add the convenience of instant lighting.
At the ‘Pros we have a variety of designs and styles of Outdoor Fire Pits That will suit your tastes and compliment the design of your outdoor living area. At http://www.BBQandFirePitPros.com we believe in customer service, that is why you will always receive a personally written email about your purchase from one of us and we are more than happy to talk to you on the phone.

This time of year, everybody is starting to think about gifts for others. What about a gift for yourself or your entire family? Just about everybody loves BBQ grilled food and a portable BBQ grill makes a great gift. Even if you have a really nice backyard BBQ grill you can’t easily take it with you to the beach, camping, or tailgating.
A really great gift idea is the Caliente Portable BBQ Grill. This charcoal BBQ grill comes with a carry tote that is also a cooler big enough to carry 6 beverage cans. With a padded shoulder strap, handgrip carry handle, and a storage pocket it is perfect for tailgating, weekend camping, and beach barbecuing.
At BBQandFirePitPros.com we specialize in portable barbeque grills that use charcoal or propane gas for fuel. These barbeque grills are easy to use, easy to carry, and they are built tough to last for many seasons of on the go grilling.

You enjoy a nice warm fire in the outdoor fire pit or in the fireplace in the living room but you are not very fond of all of those trips to the woodpile. If that sounds familiar, then it is time to get a wood rack or log hoop. With a wood rack you don’t have to make all of those messy trips for more wood, just load up the wood rack or log hoop every once in a while and then just grab a few pieces and throw them on the fire when ever you need. At BBQandFirePitPros.com, you can choose a rack or hoop to fit your needs and taste. From the compact >24 inch diameter log hoop that holds enough wood for the evening conveniently by your fireplace to larger wood racks that go by the back door or near the fire pit on your patio or deck (at a safe distance of course) that hold up to a weeks worth of fire wood. Check out the different styles of high quality, long lasting log hoops and wood racks at http://www.bbqandfirepitpros.com

Bonsai is living art of that kind that is ever evolving.
Bonsai craftsmen can labor for years to create an individual Bonsai Tree, which could last one hundred years or longer. The trees are then often handed down from generation to generation, each sequent artist contributing his or her own distinguishing style. As the tree is lovingly shaped according to the individual aesthetic of each caretaker, past efforts are revered and learned from. It is not necessary for you to have this skill to own and enjoy beautiful bonsai. Today there are bonsai available that have had a master shape it for 20 or more years. All you need to do is follow a few care rules and be able to follow the trimming pattern that was established by the master and you can enjoy a true work of art.
Years of training and experience are needed to become a masterful bonsai grower. Ordinary horticulture is by itself a challenging craft. You, however, can learn to follow the master bonsai grower’s pattern and can enjoy the fruits of all those years of labor.
The results are widely looked on as well-worth the effort. Bonsai are admired the worldwide for their uniqueness, their longevity, variety and beauty and for the skill that goes to create them. Choosing a Specimen bonsai really depends on your likes and dislikes. These trees have been crafted by master bonsai gardeners so they are ready for immediate display and will be the center of attention in your patio or garden.
We have a large collection of Specimen bonsai treesSpecimen Bonsai on our online store.

Wind Chimes have a long and varied history around the world. Although most scholars date the existence of wind chimes as far back as prehistoric times in most cultures, they were most prevalent in the Far East. They were predominantly found around sacred places, such as a Buddhist temple or a pagoda, because they were thought to help summon the spirits to these sacred places. These Windchimes were intricately carved and used different sized bells to create different tones and were typically hung in the doorways of these structures.
You can find wind chimes that represent almost any culture in the world. They have been made with almost any material that you can imagine, including shells, wood, and metals. Different cultures have their own style and design of wind chimes, which helps to add variety to the choices for consumers. The sound of Amish Wind Chimes in your garden or home is unlike anything else that you can imagine. That is probably why they have had such a long and far-reaching history.
Come and visit us at Amish Crafted Wind Chimes and check out large selection of metal wind chimes. Each Wind Chime is handmade by a local Amish craftsman .Each Wind Chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg. Warranty”

Many people who enjoy barbecued chicken and ribs or grilled burgers and steaks don’t want to get a big, fancy BBQ grill because they might only use it 4 or 5 times a year. In these times it just it doesn’t make sense to lay out a lot money for something that only gets used a couple of times a year. Another reason to opt for a smaller BBQ grill is that you just might not have the space to dedicate to a big grill on your deck or patio and besides, you can’t take them with you to the park or on the weekend camping trip with the family.
An answer to all of this is the Folding Propane Gas Barbecue Grill; by Blue Rhino. Big enough to barbecue 3 or 4 racks of ribs or grill up a dozen burgers and some hotdogs at the same time, yet easily folds up on a rolling cart that will fit in your trunk and is can be stored out of the way in the garage or shed. Solidly built to last for years and fully guaranteed, it is perfect for the occasional griller.

With a good 1 to 2 inch layer of organic compost over your garden bed, and a cover crop of green manure planted from seed in the fall, you will be on your way to improving your garden soil for next year’s planting. Sown from seed, cover crops germinate very quickly and will grow all winter long. Then simply till the cover crop in once it flowers in spring. The cover crop’s foliage will help protect the soil from getting compacted, which can happen in constant winter rain or from blanketing of snow. And when you till it in, the foliage adds organic material that will improve soil structure, increase nutrients and help your soil retain moisture.
Plants in the the legume family, commonly known as the pea family, bean family or pulse family, include soybean, alfalfa, vetch or fava beans. These are some of the best cover crops available (check online seed companies and nurseries). Legume plants are special in that they will retain nutrients that will then be returned to the soil when tilled in, thereby providing nutrients for your spring and summer crops next year. These crops have assertive root systems, which are helpful in breaking up hard soils. They are also very hardy and frost tolerant.
Cover crop seeds can be broadcast in mid-October right over that one to two inch layer of compost and all around the fall crops that are currently growing in your garden. Fall cover crops will grow quickly and reduce weed problems, but won’t grow tall enough to overwhelm existing plantings.
Making organic compost for your fall cover crop is easy with tumbling composters. Look for models with more than one section inside: one for new compostable materials and one section for completed compost. If you live where there are temperature extremes, consider one of the Jora tumbling composting machines. They are manufactured in Sweden, and insulated to withstand temperature extremes.
Happy Composting with BestComposters.com!

It is that time of year again when you are faced with the problem of ‘what should I get them for Christmas’ (or other seasonal observance). An idea for that active college student, collegiate sports nut, or proud alumni in your life could be a gift that includes their favorite university or college logo.
So you are thinking; a lot of collegiate logo gifts are nice but they do not do anything, you put them on the wall or on a shelf and they look cool but that’s it. At BBQandFirePitPros.com we agree, that is why we offer a line of collegiate products that are not only useful, they are a thoughtful gift too.
In addition to making great gifts they also help support the school. All of the Collegiate Logo Products we have are officially licensed products and the school gets some of the money from every purchase. We have collegiate logo BBQ tools sets and even better, check out the Buccaneer Portable BBQ and Cooler Tote Set. A picnic and tailgating set that includes a BBQ grill, 3 BBQ grill tools, a convenient cooler, and storage for other BBQ essentials all in a rugged, compact tote with your favorite college logo printed or embroidered on the front.

You have invested a lot of money into your home, deck, patio and garden. In this uncertain economy, you’re not ensured of recouping your investment. However, maybe one way to ensure that you’ll recover at least some of your money is through furnishing your outdoor living space with elegant, stylish, and trendy patio furniture. Unfortunately, the best furniture, like teak, is a bit more costly than some others. Therefore, we have partnered with our supplier to offer you a potential sale that may save you a significant amount of money on patio furniture investments.

I wrote in June about keeping a Garden Journal, which might include a map of your garden, what was planted and where, how often it was watered, even details about amounts of sunlight it received and the temperatures it experienced. Written down should also be information on the yields you’ve experienced from your vegetables, what you liked and what you weren’t so crazy about. These bits of information can help you prepare your garden for winter.
Preparing your garden for the winter should include planning for next year. It doesn’t have to be exact, but a general idea can help you decide where to put the bulk of your compost. Plants should be grown in different areas of the garden every year, most especially tomatoes, as they absorb different nutrients from the soil. But most will benefit from a fresh place in the garden. Plants that need more fertilizer and water should be grouped together for most effective use of both; an example would be peppers and tomatoes; squash and beans.
After pulling up annuals and weeding, the next step is a good layer of compost to condition the soil for next spring’s planting. Our tumbling composters have been busily making nutrient rich organic compost all spring and summer, so we have plenty of compost to spread around. We’ll put down a two-inch deep layer of compost to enrich the soil and act as a mulch, conserving moisture and reducing the odd winter weed. We use our Fold-A-Cart to get the compost where it’s needed. It’s pretty easy to park our Fold-A-Cart under the compost machine, dump the compost in and wheel it to wherever in the garden we need it. This cart is especially nice because it is so easy to clean up afterwards, and it has two ten-inch pneumatic rubber tires that give it a great center of gravity and prevent tipping like our old wheelbarrow used to want to do. When we’re done spreading the compost layer, we’ll give everything a good soaking to provide the moisture that our garden worms need in order to do their jobs. Another spray with the hose and the Fold-A-Cart is ready to be folded down to 20% of its usable size and hung in the garage.
Even though I still have lots of vegetables in my garden (the warm weather still hangs on!): tomatoes, beets, beans, chard and spinach, I’ll be updating my garden journal this weekend on what worked in the garden and where I need to move things next year. When we finally do get cold weather, all the refuse from the garden will go back into the tumbling composters to make more compost for next spring’s planting.

An afternoon or evening relaxing in the backyard is a great way to spend some time with the family and friends, or even alone after the day at work. For many though, enjoying the outdoors is limited to the summer months because on many days in the other seasons it is just a little too cool to enjoy sitting around talking and relaxing outside. When camping, the answer to those cool days is the campfire. Unfortunately in most places having a campfire in the backyard is just not an option.
You can still enjoy the cooler days outdoors at home with the warmth of an outdoor fire pit. Relax to the flickering light, dancing shadows, and the warmth of a blazing campfire in your backyard with the convenience of a free standing outdoor fire pit. At the ‘Pros we carry a full line of free standing outdoor fire pits; from the 20 to 24 inch diameter styles that are just right for smaller outdoor living spaces such as condo’s, the most popular 28 to 36 inch portable fire pits, to the large 40 to 45 inch designs.

Thinning and Transplanting Purple Bearded Iris
Two weeks ago the tops of my Purple Bearded Iris were cut back to about 4 inches above the ground. They were ready, I was ready…they were overcrowded and not producing flowers like they used to. Also, the rhizomes were snaking out of the ground. The root systems were so bunched up that the roots were pushing the rhizomes to the surface. So today was the day for thinning and transplanting them. One large bunch had been planted in river rocks, thus all the rocks needed to be moved first (and continuously, since many seemed to have burrowed their way into the ground). Using a garden fork, I loosened the soil around the rhizomes, then removed the clumps of rhizomes in as large a bunch as I could handle. I carefully brushed the excess dirt off of the roots so they could be inspected, and placed the rhizomes in my folding cart.
It’s important that you check the iris rhizomes for root borers or for softness and throw away any that are diseased or bug damaged. Luckily all my rhizomes were healthy, and I have enough to share with neighbors and co-workers.
I kept rhizomes with leaf fans that were each in pieces about 3 -5 inches long for replanting. Four spots in my garden were selected that had the right combination of room and light. Holes deep and wide enough for groupings of 3-5 rhizomes were dug, then the rhizomes were placed just below ground level and facing away from each other with the roots spreading out. Next came a covering of organic compost over around the roots and over all in a mound that covers the leaves. Finally the mound was watered well, and will be watered with my garden drip until first frost. They’ll get some moisture throughout the winter with snow melt and some BiOWiSH™ Crop to promote good absorption of the nutrients in the compost. My Purple Bearded Iris are set for roots to re-establish themselves in preparation of a glorious springtime bloom across the expanse of my back fence.
Shop for tumbling composters to make easy organic compost that your flowers and vegetables will thrive in, BiOWiSH™ Crop to boost plant health and bloom, and space saving and sturdy folding garden carts at http://www.BestComposters.com. Happy Composting!

So, the Fall season has arrived! It’s raining here in Western Colorado as we speak, and my thoughts are turning to Fall, the outdoor clean-up of leaves, pulling up the remains of the garden, etc. Still, the fall season represents many wonderful opportunities to enjoy each other, outdoors, before the winter snow begins to fly and we retreat to the “cabin mentality” for the next few months. You want to enjoy your neighbors/close friends, through our outdoor interactions which involve our all-loved College, and NFL games, of which we are now afforded each and every weekend! You want to have friends and neighbors over for a pre-game barbeque, tail-gaitin’ party, but don’t know how you’ll accommodate them, so that everyone has a place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Worry no more….
Some of the best solutions to seating people involve our affordable teak-benches.

I can’t believe that tomorrow is the first day of fall! Where did the summer go? Anyway, fall brings new challenges and promises. For instance, Fall brings cooler temperatures, brilliant sunrises and sunsets, and a general feeling of goodwill. Fall brings Fooball, both college and NFL games abound, and we all love that! If only you had an accomodation for your close friends to attend and enjoy Sunday and Monday afternoons with barbeques and intimate gatherings on your deck/patio.

Fall Decorating can be fun with fall Accents!
With the fall season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to be looking for those special decorating accents to bring the fall theme into your outdoor room. Your front entry way or porch space can benefit from the addition of a few fall themed accessories. Decorating your front door with a wreath made of a variety of fall leaves or dried corn will give it a special seasonal touch.
When putting together a fall theme, a good place to start with, would be to focus on color. Look for fall themed colors like shades of oranges, yellows, reds, and earth tones. Choosing accessories in the pumpkin shades of orange and selecting items and colors that mirror the colors of the changing leaves will really add to you fall decor: Decorating for the fall season does not have to be only Halloween themes either. Hay bales, collections of apples, gourds, dried corn or even dried twigs can make a beautiful and festive fall display.
You can find lots of great fall themed wreaths, hanging pots, unique wooden planters, and fall colored silk leaves and stems. Arrange them in vases or garden planters for a great looking display. A nice set of Wind Chimes will also add to a fall ambiance. To get more ideas to spark your creativity, visit your local craft stores and browse their displays.
The use of natural elements from nature, are great way to give your fall décor a more natural feel: Going for a walk and gathering pinecones and a variety of branches to design your own wreaths and centerpieces. Try to adding a variety of textures and heights to make the display more interesting.
Look around your home and there is chance that you already have accessories that you could use to put fall items on top of them. For example, put your plants on the ground and place small pumpkins on the plant stands.
If you think it’s too late in the season for planters, think again. You can sometimes find good deals on perennial plants when greenhouses are trying to clear out their inventory at the end of the summer. Even some annual flowers continue with bright blooms well into the fall.
With just a few themed items you can bring a fall theme to your decor. Have fun with your decorating!

The college football season has started along with all of the good times that go along with it. Getting together with your friends to watch this weeks game, going to tailgating parties before the game, or at home watching your alma maters’ team with the family. But when the college football season starts you also know that the afternoons and evenings are going to be getting cooler and outdoor entertainment might not be so easy.

Ah, my favorite season, Indian Summer, with crisp nights, and warm, sunny days. It will soon be time to harvest the last veggies in the garden, and clean up the garden spot for another summer, here in Western Colorado. Thoughts move to colder weather, and recreation inside, when the patio is covered with snow.
Perhaps this is a good time to think about a game table for the family room. The Merbau octagonal table, made of high quality timber, with a high hardness rating and a beautiful finish is so versatile—it can be used for a pizza party, games for the youngsters, or all ages, and is a lovely table for a cozy dinner for eight. Along with the best price on the internet, we offer prompt, friendly, customer service and will be responsive to any question you may have. Come see it at http://www.teakhomegarden.com/

If you have ever enjoyed yakitori grilled chicken at a restaurant or those chicken kabobs you find at the county fair or from street vendors at he public market and food festivals but just don’t seem to get the same results when you try it at home. The problem is not your cooking skills, it is most likely the equipment you use to do the cooking.
In Japan yakitori shops are more common than Starbucks and corner espresso stands in America. Yakitori, which broadly translates to ‘grilled or roasted chicken’ has an endless variety of flavors and textures depending on sauces applied while grilling, marinades, and the parts of the chicken used and of course you can mix in vegetables and other foods on the skewers with the meat.
For great yakitori the secret is not the meat, after all a chicken is a chicken no mater where you are. The secret is having the right grill for yakitori. The street vendors in Japan have grills designed just for yakitori grilling. We have 2 grills designed by Hotspot in the traditional Japanese style. The Hotspot portable tabletop yakitori grills are made with a ceramic fire bowl that distributes the high grilling temperature needed evenly across the entire grill the heat is controlled with adjustable vents. For a convenient portable yakitori grill take a look at the Hotspot Round Yakitori Grill. Easy to take with you anywhere you go, big enough to grill 5 or 6 skewers at once, and a great price.

Nuturing your soil by adding organic matter is the number one foundation of gardening the organic way. Adding organic nutrients to the soil simulates what happens naturally. One of the best ways to provide organic nutrients to the soil is by adding mature compost.
This critical step to growing food organically by maintaining a supply of nutrients ready for your plants to take up as they need them is easy to do with a tumbling composter. Just add your organic kitchen scraps, yard refuse and BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost to your tumbling composter, give it a turn or two and plan where you’ll be using the wonderful, rich compost that will result. Using organic compost, your plants will grow healthy and vigorously, which helps prevent attacks of pest and disease. You will also enjoy larger yields and quicker growing times.
Some of the other benefits from nurturing your soil with organic compost include:
1. It will improve the ability of your soil to retain moisture
2. Compost releases nutrients evenly and slowly
3. Your soil’s microbiological activity will increase
4. Improved conditions and structure of your soil will mean a better environment for earthworms and healthy micro-organisms
5. It helps dispose of your organic waste
6. It reduces the loads on landfills
7. Composting will also reduce your water consumption
A tumbling composter will provide you with the above benefits and a continual supply of organic compost with which you can nurture your soil and plants. It’s easy, healthful and cost effective, too.

Grilling a Great Tasting Burger – Part 3 of 3
In the last couple of articles (9/4 and 9/7/2010) we talked about the choice of ground beef for your burgers. A little boring but important for a great tasting burger. Now it is time to get to the bbq grill.
The problem that many people have with portable barbecue grills is that it is very hard to get them to maintain a good temperature for what you are barbecuing or grilling and they don’t create that heat evenly over the entire grilling surface. Another problem is they are unstable and wobbly or the cooking grill falls into the fire every time you touch the meat.
When you are at the park or the beach with your family and friends you don’t want to be frustrated with your grill, you want to be having fun with the others. At http://www.bbqandfirepitpros.com selecting a good portable bbq grill is easy. We all use our bbq grills and outdoor cookers a lot and we know how important it is to have good equipment. We check out the products before we make them available at our store so that we know we offer good quality solid reliable easy to use bbq grills and other outdoor cooking equipment.
Selecting a good barbecue grill doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. A good example is the Stainless Steel Portable Gas Barbecue by Blue Rhino UniFlame. A reasonably priced bbq grill that is excellent for creating the right even heat across the entire cooking grill and it is portable yet big enough to cook for the whole gang.

Grilling a Great Tasting Burger: Part 2
If your grilled burgers seem to taste a little dull this series of articles may give you some ideas you can use to help you create those delicious gourmet grilled burgers that you want. In the previous post (9/4/2010) we covered selecting the right type of ground beef for your barbeque hamburgers.
Now that you have chosen the type of ground beef (probably good old ground chuck) with the right amount of fattiness (around 20%) you need to decide on the quality of the meat you want. You can get the type of meat with the fat level that you want in various grades of quality that are defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The following is a little blurb from the USDA website:
“USDA quality standards are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. For example, Beef quality standards are based on attributes such as marbling (the amount of fat interspersed with lean meat), color, firmness, texture, and age of the animal, for each grade.”
You can dig around in the USDA website for more information on this subject.
Prime is the highest grade but is rarely seen in your local supermarket or meat market. Very little beef is graded as ‘prime’ and most of it is bought up by high end, expensive restaurants. That’s ok though because you really don’t need ‘prime’ grade for a great BBQ burger.
Choice is the next highest grade and you can usually find it at the store. It costs a little bit more but whether you are buying hamburger or steaks you will notice more flavor when cooked though that is more noticeable in steaks than hamburger.
Select grade is easily available and is the great choice for grilled burgers. It is more affordable and with good barbecuing techniques you will get a great tasting burger.
Standard is the lowest grade for most meats that you will find at your grocery store. Although standard grade is just right for many purposes for the better burger you want to get ‘select’ grade or you can splurge and get ‘choice’ grade though you don’t need to make great burgers.
The other USDA grades of beef (commercial, utility, cutter, and canner) don’t come into play here.
To sum it up: You want to pick a good grade of meat, select or even choice. Ground chuck is a very good pick for type of ground beef. And you want to pick an amount of fatness that will make the burgers juicy and flavorful, about 20%.
Our next article will include some shopping and BBQ grilling tips for that better than average burger. We hope this information is helpful to you and, as always, you can check us out at http://www.bbqandfirepitpros.com for bbq grills and other outdoor cooking equipment and accessories. If you have any questions go to the site and send us an email.

So, you’ve added a gorgeous new deck to your beautiful home, and now you’re anxious to enjoy it! The one challenge which still remains is to furnish it with some classful, elegant furniture so that you can mosey out there with your favorite beverage in hand, and relax in some attractive, comfortable seating and kick back and enjoy your new outdoor living space. You could choose Redwood furniture, but Redwood is a softer timber, meaning less durability and longevity. Likewise for most Cedar product. The fact is that you work hard for your money and you deserve to have nice things.
A great choice for furnishing your new playground would be Teak Outdoor Furniture. Teak products are beautiful, elegant pieces that will add a lot of astetic appeal to your deck. Because of the properties that teak timber contains, they are durable, lasting for generations, and require low maintenace, among other attributes. The fact is, Folks, it just doesn’t get better than Teak! We carry a large line of teak furniture product, reasonably priced, and, of course, all products are warrantied.

This was the perfect weekend for preparing my garden for fall. Today’s temperature hovered around 70 degrees, with a little breeze and the bluest sky. I’ve harvested the lettuce and the beets, and a bush bean that hadn’t done so well. Now I have room and cooler temperatures to allow for some more spinach and chard. But the soil looks like it needs a lift. It’s a good thing that we’ve been composting all summer, putting into our tumbling composter all our kitchen scraps, some shredded newspaper and alittle hay. Now I have plenty of organic compost to amend my garden soil. As a mulch, it will retain moisture, so I can water less. It will also keep down the weeds that have sprouted up so prolifically in my walkways and rocks this year. Need I mention the nutrients that my organic compost will provide to the vegetables I’ll plant? I can hardly wait for some fresh spinach salads!
I’m convinced that the biggest reason that we’ve been so successful with our composting is because we’ve used BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost regularly. It’s kept the temperature of the compost at a regular 130 degrees to allow the organic matter to decompose at just the right rate.

Grilling a Great Tasting Burger:
Want to serve up great tasting food at your next BBQ get together but your burgers always seem to be rather tasteless or dry. Don’t despair, here are some general guidelines to help make your next barbecue burger a flavorful success.
To build a good house you have to start with a good foundation, no doubt about that. The same is true for grilling great burgers, you need to start with the right equipment and the right meat. At http://www.bbqandfirepitpros.com we can help you with the right equipment with our selection of backyard and portable BBQ grills and hopefully this series of articles will help with the meat.
The ground beef is the foundation of a good hamburger. Whether you are at the grocery store or your local meat market, picking the right type of ground beef can make or break your barbecue. The most expensive is not necessarily the best when it comes to barbecuing ground beef, The key point is the percentage of fat or the fat to lean ratio. For steaks, you want to see marbling, the white specs of intra-muscular fat in the red meat. With ground beef, you can’t see that fat, but ensuring the right mix is important You will find this value somewhere on the label.
Ground sirloin (one of the most expensive) might sound great but at nearly 90% lean you will be losing out on flavor. On the other side of the coin, if you get ground beef that is 70% lean, while great for hamburger dinners in a box there is too much fat for the best grilling. Although it will have more flavor it tends to create flames in the grill that impart an odd gassy flavor to the food. Because of this many chefs suggest you use ground chuck with a 20% fat (or 80% lean) ratio.
Now you are thinking: Wait a minute here, I am watching the fat in my diet and too much fat is not good for anybody. Not to worry, as you grill the burger, much of the fat actually melts and cooks out while keeping the meat juicy and flavorful.
The next article in a few days will attempt to explain the various qualities of beef according to the United States Department of Agriculture grading standards.

Growing interest in hydroponics led me to review a study that had been done by BiOWiSH™ Technologies and a lettuce farm that had shown dramatic results. The farm in question had seven greenhouses with a variety of lettuces, all grown on Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) tables.
The lettuce farm used BiOWiSH™ Crop to treat the water that was flowing through the dripper lines, micro-tubes and NFT gulley floors. BiOWiSH™ Crop was a no-brainer for these purposes, since it increases the nutrient availability in water flowing to the plants’ root systems and is ALL Natural. More nutrients mean better absorption, and more nutrients absorbed means bigger, healthier plants. That is, in fact, what happened. In the six week growth cycle, the farmer had lettuces that were double the usual size, all other factors being equal. And don’t we all love bigger, healthier plants?! Especially when growing space is limited…you want to as large a crop as possible in the space available.
BiOWiSH™ Crop is 100% natural, biodegradable and safe for use in a wide range of consumer, commercial and industrial situations. With over 18 years of research and development, BiOWiSH™ products accelerate enzymatic reactions over a thousand times faster than normal speed. These enzymes breakdown all non-living organic matter, so in addition to increasing the hydroponic grows water nutrient availability, it also prevents sludge build-up and scaling in the water lines!
BiOWiSH™ Crop is now available at http://www.BestComposters.com. It should definitely be part of your hydroponic grow!

Thinking about a backyard fire pit but concerned about safety? Good, you should be. Outdoor fire pits are popular as a centerpiece for entertaining in the backyard these days. Before selecting yours it is important to consider two things: safe design and safe use.
Wood fires create sparks so it is a good idea to make sure that the fire pit you are considering comes with a spark screen. Many popular fire pits have designs cut into their sides; animals, trees, college and professional sports logos, family names, and the like. For safety these cutouts should have a protective mesh to keep sparks and embers from coming out of the fire pit.
When it comes to safe use probably the most important thing is to set up and use your fire pit according to the manufacturers instructions. Two reasons: One; they know, they have checked it out, they want you to be safe and happy with their product. Two; If you don’t the guarantee is no good. Another safety thing is to not use an outdoor fire pit indoors, the heat, sparks, smoke, and gasses and confined spaces just don’t mix safely. If you would like more information about fire pit safety please go to our web site http://www.bbqandfirepitpros.com, select the ‘contact us’ tab and send us an email with any questions you may have. Thanks, John.

Water being our most precious resource, it makes sense to conserve it wherever and whenever we can. After all, an average person can live on water alone for about eight weeks, give or take about a week for an over- or underweight person. That same person, without water, will perish within only a few days, depending on the temperature and how much they are sweating. And not only is water important for our own personal needs. We also need water for our washing, gardening, cooking and pets.
One very smart way of conserving water is with a rain barrel from http://www.BestComposters.com. We have a number of sizes, shapes and colors that will provide your household with rainwater runoff. You’ll get ‘free’ water and reduce your monthly piped or well water consumption and your water bills. You’ll also be saving the energy that would be required to purify that rainwater in a treatment plant. Runoff from roofs can add up quickly, to like over 16.5 thousand gallons per year, or 65% of the annual water needed for an average landscaped yard – from a two thousand square foot roof. And untreated rainwater is better for plants.
Fresh water prices in the U.S. are averaging about $1 per 100 gallons, and we use typically 69.3 gallons per capita every day. Your savings will add up quickly with a rain barrel or two in your yard, on your patio or deck. Visit http://www.BestComposters.com today for competitive prices and great customer service!

Why a stand alone Fire Pit -
Built in or in the ground fire pits are big, a little bit expensive, and umm… permanent. You can’t take them with you to the beach or the next time you are tailgating before the game. Another choice is a portable stand alone fire pit. They are usually less expensive than a built in and there is a wide variety of beautiful styles and designs to choose from. You can take them with you to the park and many fire pits come with a cooking grill included so that you can grill up some steaks or burgers or leave it off to roast weenies or marshmallows. If you have a pretty level space a safe distance away from the house, fences, plants, trees, and overhead branches then you have a place for a fire pit for entertaining or just sitting around relaxing. If you are going to hang out around the fire pit with family and friends make sure to put it in a place that has enough room around the fire pit for everybody to move about safely. At BBQandFirePitPros.com we have a great selection of sturdy, durable fire pits to choose from. From entertaining and cocktail parties to hanging around with the friends after Monday night football or just plain relaxing in your own backyard we have a fire pit for you.

With times as they are in this economy, having vegetables and herbs grown at home can really stretch a budget. I’ve been spending a lot less at the grocery this summer with the produce from my garden as a supplement. We’re fortunate to have room in our yard to have a sizable garden, but you can grow your own fresh organic vegetables in containers very easily.
I like to set up a drip irrigation system for my container garden, ala my husband, since plants do much better if they are on a set watering schedule. We feed them regularly, as well, and nip off dead or yellowed leaves. I recommend tomatoes in sunny locations, whether upright or hanging ones. There are so many different types of tomatoes you can choose from, too, and a plethora of recipes that can accommodate this versatile veggie.
Some of the benefits to container gardening, aside from the fresh produce are:
- bugs and slugs are virtually non-problematic
- weeds are usually not a problem either
- you can have as many as you can fit or as few as you want to deal with
- almost anything can be used as a planting container, as long as it holds soil and has adequate drainage
- potting soil can be used with confidence, since they have the proper pH balance
- containers can be brought indoors when the weather turns cold so you can prolong your growing season
- container gardening beautifies your patio, porch or balcony with color and foliage
- even small, tight spaces like as window sills and steps can be utilized to grow herbs
- they love the compost that you’ve, hopefully, been making!

The advantage of an Herb Garden!
Planting a container herb garden provides advantages that cannot be achieved through growing herbs in your garden. Some of the advantages is providing the mobility necessary to protect your herbs from harsh outdoor weather and seasonal conditions, as well as predatory animals and insects. You will enjoy cultivating your herbs year-round in a more stable and forgiving environment than can be achieved through outdoor planting.
If you frequently use thyme, parsley, sage, oregano, dill, basil, and chives, it would be at advantage if you make use of a container herb garden.
The very first thing that you have to consider is the location for your container herb garden. This type of garden is ideal for gardeners who have limited space. So even if you live in an apartment, it would be possible to grow your favorite herbs in your container herb garden.
But potting herbs in a container is not an easy task. You have to spend a bit more time making sure the soil has the right amount of water and that the container receives the right amount of sunlight for your plants.
When choosing where to place your plants, keep in mind that in the Northern Hemisphere, sunlight enters in at an angle more from the south. Therefore, plants that need a lot of sun will benefit from being placed where they will have southern exposure. For the plants that need partial shade should be placed on the northern side or you can position them in an area away from the window that is shadier.
Once you have prepared the containers, you can now plant the seeds or seedlings. Plant the herbs properly. The tallest herbs can be planted at the center while the smaller ones can be planted in the surrounding area. If the herbs are cascading, it should be placed along the container edges.
Many herbs are not picky about the pots that they are grown in and this is fortunate for those of us starting an herb container garden. Herbs that love containers are Basil, rosemary, thyme, dill, mint, sage and lavender.
Herbs do not need frequent watering because too much water can damage the roots of the herbs. When the soil is already dry, you can water it. Determine the harvesting time for your herbs since this will usually vary. Some herbs can be harvested in a month while others take more than a year. By planting herbs with the use of a container herb garden plan, one can have a supply of herbs all year long.

Many folks who love bbq grilled food just don’t have the space (or the budget) for any of the really cool grills you can find at may local retailers these days. If you live in an apartment or a condo you know what I mean and even many home owners have limited space in their outdoor living area. The solution is to dine out which is not very economical and not always convenient and you only have the choice of what they offer. Another option is the smaller portable bbq grill. That way you can grill up what you want with your own recipes any time you want. These days the capabilities, variety, and quality of portable grills far exceed what was available even just a few years ago. That’s where we come in. Finding a good quality portable bbq grill at a super store or big box store is rather difficult and the specialty stores are kind of expensive. BBQandFirePitPros.com has a great selection of portable bbq grills to choose from for cooking at home or to take with you to the park, a tailgate party, or camping. You don’t want a flimsy, wobbly little thing that does nothing but burn your food, neither do we, so we check out our products before we offer them to you. Dollar for dollar our prices are better than most for a quality grill that you will use for years to come.

There seems to be a lot of ‘talk’ on gardening websites about this common problem, but not many folks have a sure fire answer about what to do when your zucchini, yellow squash and cucumber plants develop a white, powdery mildew on their leaves. Some gardeners have said that it’s a natural occurrence as temperatures begin to drop. Others say not to plant too closely together, as overcrowding can lead to the fungus. Still others have said their plants just develop this at the end of the season, so they do nothing.
Here in the Denver area we’ve had pretty steady high temps…fortunately for my veggies, but unfortunately for me! And I certainly hope that mid-August isn’t to be considered close to the end of the growing season! Can’t do anything about overcrowding at this point, unless I just want to get rid of otherwise healthy and productive plants. So my husband and I decided to try a product from BiOWiSH™ that is newly available in the US: BiOWiSH™ Crop. As always, we strive to make our gardening 100% organic, and so we’re happy to be able to use BiOWiSH™ products because they’re all 100% organic and environmentally safe.
Some of the benefits of Crop include:
•Increases nutrient availability
•Reduces habitat for fungal spores
•Improves yields
•Improves plant health
•Increases total number of crops per annum
•100% natural and biodegradable
•Non-toxic and chemical-free
We saw a huge difference within 24 hours! The Powdery Mildew was almost completely gone. And we’ve got lots of lovely flowers on the plants, which I hope will turn into even lovelier zucchini and yellow squash…since I haven’t made a single batch of zucchini bread yet!

A little history of the Wind chime!
The history of wind chimes dates back to prehistoric times in many cultures; Wind chimes have a long and varied history. However, their greatest and most elegant development spans cultures, continents and uses in east and south Asia. Buddhists attached thousands of elegantly decorated, cast, or carved wind chimes and wind bells to the eaves of sacred religious structures to create an almost deafening sound in the wind. Wind Chimes have long been known for their soothing, meditative and sometimes earthly sounds.
In Asia and the ancient Mediterranean, wind chimes were used to attract benevolent spirits. In China and Japan they became decorative art in private homes as well as on sacred structures. In the 19th and 20th centuries their popular use spread more widely among Western countries. Today, they are widely used around the world. Many people consider wind chimes to be good luck.
The wind chime can trace its lineage back almost 5000 years. The first evidence of wind chimes, found at archeological sites in South East Asia, dates them to about 3000 B.C. Primitive constructions of bone, wood or bamboo, stone or shells, the earliest wind chimes were thought to be used to ward off evil spirits. By 2000 B.C. the wind chime had been developed independently along the shores of the Mediterranean and was being cast in bronze by the ancient Egyptians However evidence exists that wind chimes had a more practical use as well; digs in Bali, Indonesia show that farmers used the sound wind chimes and wind clappers make to scare birds and other animals from their cultivated fields. In China and Japan they became decorative art in private homes as well as on sacred structures. Today, they are widely used around the world. Many people consider wind chimes to be good luck.
Wind chimes can have a healing effect on the mind and body.
The resonance and vibration of the sound is thought to release stress and emotional blockages in the body and calm the mind, thereby expanding conscious awareness and connection with spirit. The positive sounds of wind chimes are thought to promote relaxation and reduce anger and tension. It is thought that wind chimes help enhance the mind/body/spirit connection bringing us a sense of peace and well being. It is believed that wind chimes can help bring balance and harmony to your garden and home; and they are often used in Feng Shui.
Throughout history, wind chimes have continued to be popular for their beauty and pleasant melodies. Come visit us at Amish Crafted Metal Wind Chimes and check out the large selection of Amish handmade Aluminum Wind Chimes. Each chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg.Warranty”.

Water is such an important part of our lives, and I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t enjoy the relaxing sound of a gurgling brook or splashing waterfall. Ponds and fountains in your yard add
value to your property…as long as they look good and smell clean! But let algae begin to take over and the attraction of your water feature will dwindle and turn to revulsion.
The best plan, of course, is to start out with a clean pond or fountain and maintain it with an environmentally friendly, 100% organic product, BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner For you lucky folks who haven’t yet filled or even built your pond, you can start off right by keeping it clean with monthly doses of BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner.
If you find yourself having to fix a growing algae problem, you’ve probably dealt with chemical mixes to kill the algae, then something else to remove it and/or the odor. One of the benefits of BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner is that, without chemicals, it consumes the algae instead of killing it. This process reduces accumulated bottom sludge and improve water clarity and odor.
When you first apply BiOWiSH™ Pond & Tank Conditioner, the biology of the water will be bought back to life. This can cause short-term darkening of water as bottom sludge gains buoyancy. This is all part of the accelerated decomposition process. Over the course of 1-2 weeks you will see the water becoming progressively clearer, blue green algal growth will be removed and sludge or waste accumulation will be eliminated. And there is no need to worry about adverse effects on aquatic plants or animals, pets or people. It’s completely safe to use; a natural cleaner from the earth, for the earth.

The Birth of the Wooden Wheel
According to archaeologists, the wheel was invented around 8,000 B.C in Asia but the oldest wheel as we know it dates back to Mesopotamia in 3,500 B.C.
1. Objects were placed on a roller similar to a log, used to roll heavy objects easier.
2. Then they placed runners like a sled, under a heavy load to drag it and this was called, a sledge.
3. Later, the sledge and the roller were combined to move objects farther by alternating one roller with a second roller and repeating the process as they moved an object forward.
4. As the sledge runners wore grooves into the rollers, men realized that the grooves helped to move the load a greater distance before the next roller was needed.
5. Eventually, the rollers were changed into wheels and in the process, the wood between the grooves of the roller were cut away to form an axle and wooden pegs were fastened to the runners on each side of the axle. When the wheels turned, the axle turned in the space between the pegs and the first cart was invented.
6. The cart’s axle and wheels were made to move separately and by 2000 B.C. the Egyptians made chariots with spokes in the wheels.

Our Spring planting of variety lettuces did splendidly and we’ve been enjoying them with our meals. I wish that I could plant more at this time, but the heat of summer isn’t conducive to new lettuce sprouts. Instead I planted more snap peas,green beans, spinach and beets. (The first planting of beets are doing well, and I am so tempted to pick and eat the greens! But you know how it is with greens…it takes a lot to make a meal, so I’ll wait a while and build anticipation.) We’ve tried an experiment which I will duly note in my garden journal. Hubby suggested that I lay the seeds on top of the soil and cover them with compost. I’m confident that the rich, warm organic compost that we’ve been making will provide an excellent medium for seedlings to prosper.
And speaking of compost, it is NOT too late to get a batch started for your fall planting! Our Jora composters can turn your table scraps and yard waste into usable compost all year long. These composters are fully insulated and enclosed, allowing the microorganisms to break down your composting materials into a rich soil amendment that will nourish your plants continually. Compost is useful worked into the soil and as a mulch. My roses and clematis seem to have appreciated the compost mulch and started blooming like crazy!
So there is no reason to wait on that tumbling composter purchase. Take a look at the different sizes and models of Jora Composters at http://www.BestComposters.com. Happy Composting!

The benefits of Deck Planters:
A good way to attract butterflies, hummingbirds, squirrels and lots of other creatures is to grow plants that attract those types of critters. For anyone with a strong interest in nature or the environment, a garden full of God’s creatures is a pleasant place to be, and enjoy!
If you don’t have acres and acres of space for your private garden and outdoor areas, you may want to consider planters. Planters are made in a variety of sizes and shapes and for a wide range of uses. Deck Planters are great for moderate sized trees, butterfly bushes and fragrant flowers.
Deck planters are a great way to constantly change your outdoor space as your moods or the seasons dictate. For example, in spring you may want to plant lots of varieties of blooming or fragrant flowers, annuals, bulbs or vines. When Fall, approaches you may want to plant a Japanese Red Maple or evergreens. Your children may even want to grow their own pumpkins.
Deck planters are available in a lot of sizes & shapes to suit the decor of your home. If you want a more neutral look, stay with a clear stain or an unfinished deck planter. Cedar and Pressure Treated Pine are two of the common woods used in planters and both have rich grains, whether they are finished with a clear stain or left completely natural
Some people have planters to grow vegetables for their families. Even city dwellers love the ability to go out on the balcony or back patio and pluck a fresh red tomatoes and some herbs. Deck planters allow those with tiny outdoor spaces an interesting way to add a country feeling to your home setting.
A deck planter can be an exciting way for little kids to learn about plants and how they grow. By planting seeds, watering regularly, ensuring ample sunlight or shade, kids can grow their own miniature garden of goodies.
Although learning about plants from books is also a great way to learn, Teaching, your kids the hands-on method of growing plants can’t be beat. Educators know that being able to see, touch, and smell is excellent ways to reinforce a good educational system.

Successful organic vegetable gardening doesn’t happen by accident. The three “P’s” are essential to the process: planning, preparation and persistence.
You will enjoy higher yields and better results over the years by paying attention and keeping track of what works and what doesn’t work in your garden. It’s one of the things I love about organic gardening - it’s a continual learning process. Some of the success in your garden depends on factors outside our control, like the date of the last frost, how much or little rain falls, extreme weather, temperatures and infestations. Yes, and a certain amount of luck. But we can do a little research to find out what grows successfully in our region, and so control what we plant. We can also have a lot of impact on the quality of our soil by testing and amending it, or by using raised beds and pots.
A vital element of organic gardening is maintaining a good supply of nutrients for your plants to take up as they need them. We provide nutrients organically to the soil by adding compost, mulch, green manure cover crops, mature or well composted animal manures, or mixed organic fertilizer. In this way, your vegetables will grow robustly, which will help deter pests and diseases. And having healthy plants will also provide you with bigger yields and faster maturing plants.
When you have a list of plants that typically do well in your region and growing season, and have tested and amended your soil to provide those plants with the nutrients they need, I suggest keeping that information in a gardening journal. Record what you plant, where in the garden it’s planted, when and how. Add an entry whenever you need to in order to record what’s happening in the garden. Next year refer back to that journal and see what worked, what didn’t, and hopefully, why.

Using Wooden Planters as a focal point for your Landscaping Décor!
Outdoor wooden planters can be a wonderful way to add focal points throughout the garden. In many urban areas, the primary means of having a garden may be through a series of planters set up on a roof or terrace. Whatever your particular situation, it is important to choose planters that are not only beautiful, but are also built to last.
A comfortable, warm feeling can be added to any yard with a wood garden planter. They come in many different styles and shapes from square or rectangle shaped to round shaped. Wood garden planters are very durable and can hold heavy plants. If your yard does not already have an existing theme, a wood garden planter can be a great place to start because there are many options available. Because of the nature of the wood, there are some considerations before choosing the wood option. Cedar is strong and resistant to weather damage but wood needs to be cared for with sealant, especially because you will be getting moisture on it with constant watering.
The last and most important thing to check any planter for before purchasing is drainage holes. If you are planning to put dirt and plants inside of them, then a drainage hole is absolutely mandatory to prevent plants from drowning and developing root rot. If your planter does not contain drainage holes, you can drill them yourself using a drill bit that is at least 1/2- to 1-inch in thickness. Smaller holes will have a tendency to get dirt clogged up in them. You will also want to line the base of your planter with 1-inch or so of rock, pebbles or broken pottery shards to prevent all of your potting soil from escaping.

There are so many ways that our bodies are bombarded with pollutants every day. The air we breathe into our lungs and that is absorbed through our skin includes industrial air pollutants, automobile emissions, and household cleaning agents. The water we drink has trace chemicals in it from rain water, fertilizers and pesticides. And let’s not forget to mention the chemicals we ingest on our foods. It’s extremely difficult to combat the effects pollutants have on us…shall we live on a mountain top or in the middle of a rain forest? Instead, why not choose to increase your intake of antioxidants by growing and eating your own organic vegetables? In a study by Newcastle University in England, researchers found that “organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce” with “up to 40% more antioxidants in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.” Those antioxidants combat the effects of pollution, slowing aging and reducing risks of disease.
An effective and easy way to start an organic garden is by cutting out chemical fertilizers and replacing them with compost. Mix it into your soil as an enhancement and/or use it as a top mulch…it will provide nutrients for your plants and encourage earthworms to keep your soil healthy. I love our tumbling composter because it’s so easy to use, keeps pests out because of it’s tight seal, and keeps the heat in which helps the breakdown process work more quickly. You can see our full range of tumbling composters at http://www.BestComposters.com. You might also want to include some of our BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost to make make the process really easy! You won’t have to worry about getting the proper mix of nitrogen and carbon into your compost bin, or the odors that can be associated with an improper mix. 100% organic BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost will enhance the output of your compost bin in multiple ways, while keeping with your goal of going and growing organic.
Happy composting with http://www.bestcomposters.com!

What a delightful way to end a hectic day and relax in our own little corner of the world. With soft candle lanterns lighting our venue, fine food and drink at our finger tips and with the companion of choice by our side we truly are living the good life.
After the sun has retreated, the evening breeze arrives and the temperature is comfortable we find this is a great time to have dinner outside. By this time the sun has set and it’s almost dark. The soft light of outdoor candle lanterns add to the romance of the evening and helps create the ambience that makes for a memorable evening. A few wall lanterns can be hung nearby to add the charming feel of a seaside resort and bring back fond memories. Garden lanterns scattered around make the evening complete and attractive as well as a useful source of light.

After a trying day at work we seek out the peaceful confines of home and family to relax and recover. Life happens so fast, we need that calming place to run to. A tranquil, relaxing atmosphere is what we need. The soothing sound of cascading water soothes raw nerves and puts us at ease. It’s amazing that something as simple as water is so powerful when trickled over a solid object. In ancient times decorative water fountains were used for that very reason, to calm and transform returning warriors as they adjusted to being home. Decorative water fountains were used both indoors and out doors as they recovered. Today we use water fountains in a variety of settings. Attractive fountains abound in public areas and in many home gardens. If you want to set your home apart from the rest and turn some heads, plant an attractive water fountain among your flowers and place one on an attractive table inside.
An attractive water fountain is both decorative and functional. It will add a unique ambiance to your garden area. The gentle sound of running water will help create the tranquility you crave. This is an original idea that everyone will love. Some water fountains can hang on a wall and create a focal point to build around. Soft light and the soothing sound of flowing water will calm the most hectic day and take away the tensions of the business world. The sight and sound of the garden water fountain invokes a high level of relaxation and romance.
We at Sand and Surf Home Décor have assembled an exciting collection of both indoor and outdoor water fountains for your consideration. Our easy to navigate web store makes shopping a breeze and we’re always open. Our low overhead allows us to give you reasonable prices. Pumps are included with all fountains and shipping is free with your order of $100.00 or more. A special discount is offered on all water fountains through July 31, 2010.

What makes Awesome sounding Wind Chimes!
You may hear a wind chime that sounds OK, and then there are wind chimes that sound awesome and you want to hear ring over and over again, because the sound is so pleasing and relaxing. You may wonder why some produce the most pleasing sounds while others do not?
Tuning to the pan tonic scale of Middle C is the most pleasing sound to the human ear - no matter who hears it, they enjoy it. First the desired length is chosen and cut. Next the approximate nodal point is found. This is where the resonance carries the longest, and where the oscilloscope is mounted. Third, the column is physically struck to tell when it is in tune. The oscilloscope will register when the purest sound for the note is being produced. This is where the first hole is drilled. Continue to work from the largest column to smaller columns in this manner, and the wind chime will be perfectly tuned.
The best material for making this beautiful harmonic tune is T6 aluminum - the hardest aluminum known to man. Also the length, gauge and Dia. of the tubes make a huge difference in the sound of wind chimes. Usually the more inexpensive they are the more clinky they sound.
When you look over the assortment of sizes, shapes, and designs of chimes you find in the stores, listen very carefully for the rich, full tones produced by a high quality set of aluminum columns. These are your heirloom wind chimes wind which will be passed on from generation to generation.
Come visit us at Amish Crafted Wind Chimes and see our large selection of very high quality handmade Aluminum Wind Chimes handcrafted by an Amish Craftsman, Each wind chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg. Warranty”.

I’ve got a rose bush that I planted for the stunning fragrance that it puts out. It’s not blooming yet, but has numerous buds just about to spread their lovely scent throughout my garden. I read yesterday that this month is the time to feed roses with fertilizer OR mulch one inch thick with compost. Well, you know which I’ll be doing! Our tumbling composter, along with BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost from http://www.BestComposters.com has made an abundant supply of rich organic compost, thank goodness. We’ve used it to revitalize older garden beds, plant new beds like the raised bed my husband built to my specs, and start the garbage can potatoes. Seems like there can never be too much compost ready for the gardens! So when it stops raining, out I go to feed that lovely rose bush with an inch of compost all the way around. Better plan to add more compost to that raised bed, as well. The straw/alfalfa mix has been decomposing and the vegetables in the bed are in need of more soil and compost to send those roots out into. Happy Composting from http://www.BestComposters.com!

We attended our first gardening festival as exhibitors this past weekend in the beautiful city of Fort Collins, Colorado. The town has plenty of gardens to enjoy, and lots of folks interested in gardening. One thing that I loved was how many people came out with their children, to help them learn how to garden, how important honey bees are to gardens, and best of all - about composting! We had examples of things that we use in our composting on our table: grass clippings, coffee grounds, straw and alfalfa, dried leaves, drier lint, pet hair and vacuum bag contents. Since we, like most composting folks, have plenty of greens (nitrogen) to contribute to the compost pile, but struggle to keep the mix of browns (carbons) high enough, we add the drier lint and animal hair. Still usually not enough, we add BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost to keep the organisms activated and breaking down that compostable material. This ensures that we have a new batch of compost to add to our garden every 4-6 weeks. Our garden loves it! And we love the produce that we are getting from our garden. As always, I look for new ways to use zucchini; here is a recipe I found for Chilled Zucchini and Green-Bean Soup with Pesto Swirl:
(Start to finish: 1 hour. Servings: 6)
Ingredients
2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 lb zucchini, ends trimmed and thinly sliced
4 cups chicken broth (reduced sodium works great)
10 oz package frozen shelled edamame
1/2 lb green beans, ends trimmed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 cup store bought basil pesto
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream or plain greek yogurt(optional)
Directions
In a large saucepan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and zucchini and saute’ until very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in edamame and green beans and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 15 minutes.
Transfer the soup, in batches if necessary, to a blender or food processor. Puree’, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. When serving, divide the soup among 6 bowls and swirl a spoonful of pesto into each. Top with sour cream or yogurt, if desired. Enjoy this low calorie (135)refreshing soup, and build up your intake of healthy vegetables!

The news is rife with articles about gardening and I’m loving it! We have the Grow insert in our Denver Post weekly which overflows with information about plants and gardening, and there was the article about the woman who had survived WWII teaching school children about victory gardens, and then the school that dedicated a portion of their grounds for some third graders to grow a garden and learn about where food comes from. It’s all the rage, I tell you! The reasons are varied, but one of the best reasons that gardening is popular is that it’s just plain good for you.
Gardening provides physical exercise that helps prevent heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. It helps prevent osteoporosis if you’re lifting water jugs, pushing a garden cart or turning compost.
When you’re working in the garden you’re most likely relieving stress and getting lots of fresh air. There’s a connection to nature, and a brain boost as you plan your garden and research tools and plants.
Then there’s the obvious: if you grow it, you’ll eat it. Fresh vegetables and fruits improve your physical well-being. You can control the use of pesticides and fertilizers. You will notice how much better the food tastes when it’s picked and consumed the same day, and need we talk about using fresh herbs to enhance the flavors of your meals? Think about how much sugar and salt you can cut back on when fresh herbs are used instead.
So get out there and dig in. Garden with your kids, or the neighbors, and build relationships through gardening. Don’t forget to add organic compost in your garden for healthier, more productive plants, and a healthier you. Happy Composting from http://www.BestComposters.com!

This time of year is so exciting with all the new growth going on in my garden! I enjoy checking it every day - ok, sometimes two or three times a day - to watch for the first leaves of the beet plants, see how the peas are almost tall enough to start reaching for the bean poles set out for them to climb, and the flowers as they appear on the tomato plants. Glorious birth!
I can really tell a difference this year in the growth and health of my garden vegetables with the addition of home grown organic compost. It‘s my hope to have a bumper crop this year, and I plan on filling my freezer with produce. I’ve also started to think about whom else might benefit from the abundance I’ve planned for. The article in yesterday’s Denver Post about school children in Denver who are learning about where food comes from made me think about how many families could benefit if every school had a vegetable garden. So many kids would be empowered with the knowledge of how to feed themselves and their families, as well as the nutritional benefits that they would reap with their harvests. Surely someone at each school could find the time to sponsor a garden; if not a teacher, then a parent, volunteer from the neighborhood or an employee of nearby nursery. I’d like to donate my time to teaching students how to compost and it’s various uses in a garden. Some schools might even find themselves being able to donate their garden produce to food banks and co-ops. With good weather, and the good soil that I’ve laid down this year, that’s what I plan to do!
And speaking of composting, I’d better get the latest batch of kitchen scraps into the composter, and put on my to-do list to shred some cardboard to mix in as well. After all, can one have too much compost? http://www.bestcomposters.com

I just read an article in the Grow insert of the Denver Post, May 23, 2010 about the “Generous, forgiving, beautiful” nature of Salvia. It reminded me of the reason why I had planted one in my backyard garden: Salvia is (like me) exceedingly thrifty. One reason it is considered thrifty is that many varieties will reseed themselves, so while you may pay $12 or more for a potted Salvia plant, you can very well expect that it will triple next year and be able to transplant these plants to other areas of your garden. Word to the wise: have some empty places in your garden to accommodate the new Salvia plants, or give them to friends and neighbors to beautify their gardens!
Another reason Salvia supply their monies worth is that they do transplant readily. An easy dig up and relocation in many instances will provide you with sustained blooms from May through October. They come in a wide variety of colors, including purples, blues, pinks and reds. Salvia is also a hardy plant, so they typically thrive at elevations up to 8,500 feet above sea level, as well as being drought tolerant.
So, reading about Salvia’s many attributes reminded me that I have been remiss in amending the soil in my perennial beds. I know that it’s important to turn soil over and mix in compost. But the Newport Plum bushes along the back fence with perennials in between make it difficult to turn the soil over; I am reluctant to disturb the perennials’ roots for fear of disturbing the bloom. But this year is the year of organic compost! We have an abundance of 100% organic black gold, after composting all winter long with kitchen scraps, fall leaves, shredded newspaper and BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost. The latter’s organic enzymes kept the compost heap at a heated average of about 145º F degrees all winter, so all the composting materials were broken down just right. This Spring we have plenty of soil amendment to spread around, thank goodness, since we’ve added a raised vegetable bed and two garbage can potato planters to our otherwise sizable garden.
Therefore, before it gets too hot out in my South facing backyard, I’m heading out to (gently) turn the soil around my perennials, including that lovely Salvia, and add a generous amount of homegrown organic compost, worked in and as mulch, to feed those perennials and bushes that add so much enjoyment to my backyard experience.

Well, we finally got it done, in spite of all the weird weather we’ve had! Our garden is planted!! My husband got the new planter box made, we got our plants and seeds assembled and got them all planted. Whew, what a relief!
The planter box was a big thing, even though there is a lot more area to plant in the ‘in ground’ garden. We are experimenting with the box. We’d gone back and forth for a couple of weeks trying to decide how best to fill that planter box. We knew we were going to use a good quantity of our organic home made compost, straight from our tumbling composter. But what other medium? Top soil was my initial plan…shopping at our local hardware store had me doing the math. The planter box is 12’ x 3’ and 16” deep…a lot of box to fill. That’s some 500 cubic feet of top soil needed, at $2.50 per cubic feet equals $1,250. Even if we mixed the top soil with compost 50-50, we’d be buying $625 worth of top soil. Then I ran across an article about hay bale gardening. This gardener takes hay bales, dowses them with nitrogen (fertilizer), digs a whole in the center and fills it with soil and plants. Sounded intriguing, so I talked with hubby. And he had his own idea. This is what we did: Two bales each of straw and alfalfa, run through a chipper to break it up and mix it well - $32. Into the planter it went, with two gallons of BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost and warm water – under $5. Mix garden soil excess that we had from last year, that wonderful black compost and a little perlite, add to holes dug down into the alfalfa and straw mix and plant. The BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost has already started the decomposition process, heating up the mix and starting to turn it into more compost. Hubby and I are both excited to see what results we’ll have in our new planter box. It was big enough to fit three tomato plants, six broccoli, and 16 onions, for under $100 inside the planter. We won’t talk about the redwood lumber that went into building the thing, but it sure is pretty!

The other day, I was reading the book “Grocery Gardening” (2009 Cool Springs Press) by food and garden writer Jean Ann Van Krevelen and her co-authors. It speaks to the frugal gardeners about planting, preparing and preserving garden produce. I believe I’ve said before that while I love my fresh from the garden vegies, I haven’t done much in the way of preserving that produce. So far I’ve left that up to my sister-in-law and mother-in-law. They are pros at canning and freezing! No, I really don’t leave it all up to them, but volunteer to help in other ways while they’re preserving. But this year, I’ve vowed to at least do my own freezing, and this book has me motivated!
What really piqued my interest in “Grocery Gardening” was a discussion about vegetables and herbs that have double functionality, providing twice the benefit from growing them! My very favorite vegetable discussed in the book is beets and beet greens. Sometimes I think I love the greens more than I do the beet, but they’re really good paired together with a little sautéed onion and just a touch of bacon grease. Yum! Chives are another favorite, partly because they are so easy to grow and, being perennial, come back every year to bless your garden. Use the chives all through the growing season to flavor your recipes, but don’t neglect the flowers in Spring! Clip those lovely purple flowers young and tender, rinse and pull apart into separate florets, then toss with your favorite salad.
Some of the other plants listed as twice as nice are:
· Garlic and garlic scapes
· Cliantro and coriander
· Dill weed and dill seed
Fennel was listed as a TRIPLE duty plant since it has fronds, seeds and bulbs that can all be used and enjoyed in different ways. You might try looking up a recipe for Braised Fennel online - look for one that includes grated Gruyere cheese for a really yummy treat.
All these vegies, and more, will benefit from a hearty dose of home grown organic compost. Use it as a fertilizer, soil enhancer and mulch! Composting is easy with a tumbling composter from http://www.BestComposters.com. It’s even easier when you add BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost: even if you don’t have the exact mix of nitrogen and carbon materials, BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost will help those digestive organisms get heated up without any harmful chemicals - it’s all 100% organic, from nature, for nature!

A few tips on choosing the best garden planter for your green thumb.
• A garden planter should have plenty of space for a certain quantity of soil and must permit enough growth of roots but not too huge though.
• Each garden planter should contain drainage holes. You should ensure that the planter comes with bottom holes or it is crafted with materials which allow you to drill drainage holes in it. (proper drainage is a must)
• Make sure that the soil can breathe inside the planter. The roots of the plant require water for oxygen requirement, as well as nutrients.
• Metal, wood, and concrete garden planters are absolutely great for winter seasons and regions. Terracotta or clay planters have both splitting and freezing vulnerability.
• Your garden planters group or your planter location must then be considered. There should be adequate support in your patio or balcony for the planter weight or planter group.
• Be stylish by thinking out the amount of space for your planter location and the look you would want to achieve. Cool colors like light yellow creates a much larger space look. Intense shades, on the other hand, create a tinier space look.
When it comes to taking care of your planters, maintain your planters will eventually provide you with much more benefits. Of course, you would want to grow healthier plants. This would be possible if you ensure the garden planter is free from pests and diseases. You should as well provide enough drainage.

Here at http://www.BestComposters.com we want to help you have the best garden possible! Growing your own vegetables has regained it’s popularity, as evidenced by seed packets virtually flying off shelves at our local stores. This renewed interest is not without merit, since your own garden can significantly cut your grocery expenses, help you eat healthier, is a stress reliver, and the food is just plain yummy! It’s not really very difficult or all that time consuming. So how does one get started?
First step is to plan where you’re going to set up your garden. The best spot is one that gets good morning sunshine. Ideally, you’ll also want a spot that will be somewhat protected from the elements and allows for good runoff of excess water.
Next step is preparing the soil. Check the soil for it’s pH level, which ideally should be 6.5. Your local hardware/garden center will have usually have test kits available, and from there it is a simple matter of following the directions. Adding home grown compost will provide your vegetables with the best nutrients available, without chemicals to muck things up.
Now that you know your soil will provide the proper nutrients, it’s time to get your hands dirty! This is the first lesson that my dad taught me about gardening. Every spring we’d take our shovels and turn the soil over, digging down to about 12 inches. This allowed for the removal of weeds at the same time, since their roots will be loosened from their grip on the soil.
Finally, chosing what vegetables to grow will be somewhat dependent on what region of the country you live in. For beginners, I recommend seeking out a reputable garden center and getting advise and seedlings from them. We grew some vegetables from seed this year, and while it’s more cost efficient to grow your vegies from seeds, it is labor intensive. You must ensure the proper amounts of light and water, and the right medium to plant in. So, beginner, have your garden center helper guide you in chosing healthy seedlings that will thrive in your area.
With good compost, planning and initial investment of time and the cost of seedlings, your garden should provide you with luscious fresh and nutritious vegetables with very little maintenance.

Adding Cedar planter boxes to your outdoor area to give it a boost;
If your garden or outdoor area could use a boost, you may want to consider adding planter boxes. Planter boxes are a great way to add color and style to your outside entertainment area. They can be purchased here at Amish Furniture Crafts. Whether you love flowers, plants, growing your own vegetables, or even if you don’t have a green thumb at all, planter boxes can be used for both function and decoration.
One of the most common and ideal materials used in the construction of planter boxes is cedar. Cedar is a stable and lightweight wood. It stays straight and lies flat, helping it resist cracking and splintering. Eastern Red Cedar, which is frequently used in the manufacture of outdoor spaces, is also great for them. A cedar planter box resists decay and rot, since the wood contains natural oils and preservatives. The aroma of cedar, which is usually pleasing to people, is offensive to most insects, moths and other critters.
A cedar planter box is available in many styles and sizes. You can find them as a traditional, contemporary or country design. Depending on your needs, you can purchase a small cedar planter box (perfecting for growing a few herbs for your kitchen) or a large cedar planter box, which opens up endless possibilities. If flowers are not your thing, you can use your cedar planter box for plants, bushes, vegetables, and just about anything else you would like to grow.

Wind Chimes a beautiful Mothers Day Gift that keeps on giving.
There is nothing better looking than a garden in the spring or summer, with its beautiful greenery and flowering plants, and of course the singing of the birds. But if you want to give your garden that extra something, another point of beauty, then garden wind chimes could be just what you’re looking for. Coming in many different styles, colors and sizes, you can hang them from your trees, from the eaves of your house, from a shed or maybe even from a bird feeder for something both practical and attractive. The subtle, pleasant music emitted from the chimes will be set off during a breeze.
With the vast variety of colors and styles available, it should be easy to pick one which matches both your Mom’s and a garden’s character and its dominant colors. You can choose one to compliment the colors of nearby flowers. Of course if you are opting to hang the chime in your garden then you will want a product which is durable and weather resistant, so it can survive during bouts of adverse conditions. Choosing the right one from all of the Garden Wind Chimes on the market can be difficult.

Spring is a great time to look into Outdoor Bonsai
If you enjoy indoor bonsai then it is only natural that you also grow outdoor bonsai trees to grow outdoors. They make wonderful decor pieces from the small ornamental trees for the front deck to the larger bonsai which will do very well in a covered patio.
Their are two varieties of an outdoor bonsai tree, deciduous meaning the leaves will turn color and fall off and evergreen bonsai trees that keep their needles and leaves. Both varieties can be flowering and some bear fruit.
Go to our online store and choose from our huge selection of Outdoor Bonsai Trees.

The Temperature of Your Compost
Preserving a high internal temperature in your compost is crucial for rapid composting. With our compost thermometer, you’ll find it easy to keep an eye on your compost and thereby ensure that bacteria are working at the most favorable temperature. You’ll also save time and energy because you won’t do any unnecessary turning or tumbling of the compost!
Bacteria are responsible for breaking down food scraps, and they work most optimally at 120° to 160° Fahrenheit. These bacteria also need fresh oxygen, which is why it’s important to turn or tumble your compost, without exposing it to too much cold air. With our compost thermometer, you only turn the pile when it needs that boost of fresh air since you’ll know when the compost is cooling down.
Our thermometer will also help you avoid scalding and show when the compost is finished. This compost thermometer can reach deep into the compost pile and help you spot danger signs.
Benefits of our Compost Thermometer include:
· 1 3/4″ easy-to-read dial
· All Stainless Steel Construction
· Very accurate (+/- 1% full scale)
· Plastic No fog lens

There are several reasons to use wind chimes in your garden, but the bottom line is we usually use them to create some kind of an emotional environment.
Some kinds of wind chimes that you would place in a garden are designed to create a meditative environment, or evoke a sense of life and happiness. The tinkling almost sounds like children laughing, and it makes you think of summer and sunshine and freedom.
You might use wind chimes to add to a sense of beauty. Some Windchimes have the tonal property of classical music and they enhance an artistically designed outdoor living space.
You might choose Evergreen Series Wind chimes that sound like rain or flowing water. They create a sense of peace and quiet, and are often used with a water feature to bring in the elements of wind and water.

Not so Common Chive
I walked in my garden this week in our BestComposters.com Lawn Aerator Shoes so that all that wonderful moisture that we’ve gotten all week can make it’s way down to the roots of our lawn. It’s a really easy way to do something nice for your lawn! Beforehand, we’d spread a little of our compost as a dressing onto the lawn as well, and the nutrients will be absorbed more quickly with the aerating too. As I did my aerating and checked out what damage the storms might’ve done in our yard, I was overjoyed to see my alum schoenoprasum, or Common Chive, poking up through the Spring snow. This hardy and easy to grow perennial is one of two planted in my garden years ago when I discovered that my family enjoys snipped chive on baked potatoes. I personally love the sweet pink blossoms and look forward to adding them to my salads for a blast of color and splash of mild onion flavor. The chive plant is a member of the same family as onions, garlic and leeks and is lovely whipped into softened butter and added to mashed potatoes or on grilled meat. It can be added, as well, to sauces, soups and salads, and is especially yummy in chicken or tuna salad. The vibrant green pleases the eye as much as the flavor enhances the salad!
You can plant the seeds of the chive plant now in your garden, or anytime in a pot to set on a sunny window sill. Once it has bloomed (don’t forget to add those gorgeous clover-like blossoms to your salads!), the tops should be snipped all the way to the soil. You’ll be pleased to see them shoot right back up and provide you with more chives all through the summer and early fall.
Being from the garlic family, the flavor of chives is comparable to garlic, but can be savored by those of us who are sensitive to garlic without concern. And like garlic, chive has therapeutic qualities. It won’t keep the kids from Twilight away in a ring around your neck, but will aid digestion of rich foods, protect your respiratory system, and has antiseptic value.
Hints:
1.Freeze fresh chives by mincing the shoots, spreading in a flat casserole dish and flash freezing. They can then be stored in plastic freezer bags.
2.When cooking with chives, add them at the end of cooking.
3.Make chive butter by creaming 4 TBSP chopped chives with ½ cup softened butter. Add ½ tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Roll into a cylinder in a sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate for approximately one week.

The first outdoor party of spring is something we look forward to all year. The cold, miserable winter is a thing of the past as we get ready to celebrate spring. The flowers are beginning to bloom and the warm breezes blow in the early evening. The fun, the great food, the music and the laughter all figure into a great party. If it is a great party, you will remember the decorations too. Outdoor entertaining has evolved into an art in the South. With the long summer season and the pleasant evenings, we have many opportunities to try new things. Sometimes simple becomes elegant and invokes pleasant memories that we can relive over and over.
Nothing impresses your guest more than a warm welcome as they approach your home for that fabulous party you have planned.If your guest arrive after dark,a line of outdoor candle lanterns along your driveway and up the walk will create a “come in and see what I have for you” anticipation. Use lighting to set the mood for your party. Simple candle lanterns to light your patio and a few garden lanterns sprinkled around the outer limits can add an ambience of romance and mystery to your party. With their soft flickering light they scream relax, enjoy. Add table top lanterns to give your guest a warm friendly experience while they talk and enjoy each other. A Moroccan candle lantern placed in a secluded corner will add intrigue to your party and invite investigation. Be sure they find something interesting there. Add nautical or beach candle lanterns to create a relaxed, carefree, casual look and feel. It’s party time– but don’t forget the lighting.
We have a large selection of candle lanterns available. The prices are reasonable and shipping is fast. You can shop from home, secure in the fact that we offer a money back policy with no questions asked if you are not happy with your purchase. Shipping is free on your order of $100.00 or more.

There seems to be a great deal of interest in a series of tumbling composters out of Sweden called Jora. It’s a reasonably priced series of composters, which is one reason I think people are looking for them on the web. Another reason they are gaining in popularity is because they’re one of the few types of composters that are insulated. After all, they were designed in Sweden! Land of the mid-night sun and all, so they were designed to continue to work all year long. Even in cold climates, gardeners can expect their compost in a Jora to reach 75 degrees in the winter time. Those kinds of temperatures can help a batch of compost decompose and be garden ready in about six to eight weeks!
Another nice feature of these composters is their two compartment system, which was designed to allow one side of the composter to mature while the other side is emptied. Add all this to the fact that the stand that the composters are set on is made for an average garden wheelbarrow to fit underneath it when it’s time to empty the compost out. Easy, hygenic and fast is the way you’ll roll with a Jora composter.
The fact that these composters are insulated, as I’ve said, make it viable to produce compost all year through. But there’s a way to speed the process up even more. Here’s how: the manufacturer recommends the addition of sawdust or wood pellets as a carbon energy source to help the micro organisms break down the composting materials. But I think that an easier, inexpensive, 100% organic additive that works more efficiently is BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost. You won’t believe how quickly the addition of this product gets the compost heated up and breaking down. I really can’t say enough about BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost. One of it’s features is that it’s harmless to humans and the environment. If you knew me you would know that this is a HUGELY important feature! The other feature that I’m jazzed about is it’s odor removal. It doesn’t just cover up odor, but virtually eats it, and in so doing, will reduce concerns for pest interest in the compost. If the batch doesn’t smell like food, it won’t draw the attention of rodents and flies.
A single packet will last six months, too! All that is necessary is to add one of the six filter bags to sixteen ounces (1 pint, or 500 ml) warm water and let it set for about 15 minutes to give the microbes time to fully activate. Then pour the whole thing into the batch of compost and mix it in. Of course, this is a simple thing to do with a Jora, because, again, they’re tumbling composters so all that is needed is a turn or two of the handle on the side. Then step back and let BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost do it’s thing. Within a day the temperature in our batch of compost was up to 121 degrees Farenheit! Forgot to mention that this was in December in Colorado, with outdoor temps in the mid to low 30’s. Check out http://www.bestcomposters.com for fast, easy composters and http://www.bestcomposters.com/page/398177366 for all of our BiOWiSH products.

The first warm days of spring can be an exciting time. Just the thought of budding trees and flowers brings a smile to our lips. In our dreams we are suspended in space, swinging in a hammock and thinking of that first outdoor bar-b-que with our friends. The Taino Indians, from Haiti, had already discovered the art of relaxing in a hammock when Columbus traveled there. The useful hammock soon became popular among settlers and seafarers all over the world.
Today the hammock is considered a place to gather new energy. A place to rest, spend holidays and enjoy the quietness after a hectic work day. The modern day Hammock can send you on a magical journey. A learned man once said it this way “Closing your eyes and floating between heaven and earth, never reaching the destination but still being on one’s way.” That’s the magic of swinging in a hammock. Going on a journey with no particular destination in mind.
We have a good selection of hammocks and outdoor living items at reasonable prices. Navigating our web store is easy, safe and fun. Shipping is fast and free with your order of $100.00 or more. New items are added daily. Visit up often.

History of the Wishing Well
The idea that a wish would be granted if one prayed near water developed from the idea that water contained deities: mermaids and naiads were water nymphs who could grant prayers in Greek mythology for example, and also because water was a scarce resource that could mean the difference between life and death in a bad year, for people and livestock as well as crops.
Water was therefore believed to have healing powers and wells became popular with many people for drinking, bathing or just simply wishing over them. Christians believed certain waters, like Lourdes, or holy water blessed in certain shrines, would cure illnesses – it was only a short step from buying holy water at shrines to uttering a wish, then dropping coins in a well. The tradition of dropping pennies in ponds and fountains originates in this belief.
Wishing well planters make a great addition to any landscaping garden design plans. There are many sizes and styles available, whether you are seeking a small ornamental style wishing well with a container, or a large planter complete with water feature, planter boxes, and benches attached, you will find there are a multitude of designs available.

Just by flying that glorious flag, whether it is our American flag, or a military service flag, such as a Marine Corps or Army flag, it conveys to everyone who gazes upon it, without any words said, that “I am proud of our military” If you haven’t thought about a way to show your support, then please consider this way.

The ancient Romans used fountains as decorative elements in gardens and courtyards but were originally used to make water available for drinking and bathing. Today we use fountains in a variety of settings. Fountains abound in public areas and in many home gardens. If you want to set your home apart from the rest and turn some heads, use an attractive water fountain among the flowers in the garden.
A decorative water fountain will add a unique ambiance to your garden area and set your outdoor decorating style apart from your friends. When it comes to decorating you have those original ideas that everyone loves. A stunning water fountain, placed in a corner of your garden, instantly speaks volumes about you and your superior decorating skills.

“Living Bonsai - Living Art”
When picking decor pieces for your porch or patio a bonsai should be at the top of the list. Bonsai in its simplest terms is an attempt to represent nature itself in a small pot. It is this representation of nature that ties your outdoor setting to nature itself. A bonsai conveys the impression of an old huge tree, a forest or a landscape in nature on your porch or patio. It is a miniaturized reproduction of nature, but at the same time a living plant. When you nurture a small piece of nature over many years, it will become a source of pleasure and fascination.
Bonsai is a living art. What a feeling of satisfaction as you establish your representation of a real tree. You will find this creation develops and grows and evolves as it responds to your artistic impression. That’s the magic of this art form, once it is created you don’t hang it on a wall or leave it for years to gather dust; you will maintain and ultimately enhance this creation to your satisfaction.
It is important not to view this hobby as being restricted to individuals who were born with a genetic aptitude to “art”. Anyone can be trained to the basics and with a person’s imagination can create a Bonsai which captures the artistic form of the individual. Remember you are the sole judge as to its beauty and its place in your décor.
Go to our online store and choose a bonsai that meets your imagination and choose one the many bonsai books. Then begin the art of bonsai of which you are the sole judge of its beauty.

A look outside will tell you that spring is not far away. It is time to think about outdoor decor of your patio, porch or lanai. It is always great to have a live bonsai plant or two in your outdoor décor. It brings peace and enjoyment and will enrich your life as you care for and style your bonsai. Your bonsai tree will be the center of attention as it reflects your choice and your care. When planted outdoors, bonsai trees can be placed in containers or directly into the ground forming a bonsai garden. Outdoor Bonsais should not be kept indoors for long periods of time, but they will need protection outdoors from a late frost. It is crucial to keep your Outdoor Bonsai well watered. Go to our online store to select from a huge variety of outdoor bonsai.

Endless possibilities with unique Garden Planters
Turn your dull patio into a place bursting with color and heady with fragrance. It is easy to do with a few outdoor planters in the right places. They’re portable, easy to change or update and they lend natural color and interest to an otherwise unexciting area. And they’re fun to experiment with too.
Whether you fill them with just one type of flower or you combine textures and colors in a stunning arrangement, planters will bring nature a little closer while making your backyard retreat a little more peaceful. So fill a few with your favorite blooms and let the fun begin.
Fill large ones with shrubs to create a little privacy or sprinkle a few small and medium ones around your seating area for color and interest. Arrange them with plants like you are creating a bouquet. Some are for color, some add height and some cascade over the edge for interest.
You can even move them off the deck. The possibilities are endless. Try placing wishing well planter along a winding garden path. It becomes a stopping point on the brief but lovely journey to your patio. You can breathe in the fragrances of sweet blooms or enjoy a shady reprieve from the sun. You can even use them to deter bugs from ruining your backyard barbeque. Simply fill them with geraniums they are a natural insect repellent.

With Spring just around corner and summer soon to follow. It is time to start thinking about some UV Rays Protection for that good looking noggin on top of your shoulder with an Amish Straw Hat.
One of the best things about straw hats is that they expertly mix style and functionality. Although wide brimmed hats come in many different shapes and in virtually every color of the rainbow, they play an important part in keeping one cool during the hot summer months and in shielding the face from the harsh and damaging UV rays of the sun. The larger the hat, the more sun protection and, luckily, these large hats have become all the rage among resort patrons and beach goers alike.
However, other than giving some much needed sun protection, people simply love wearing these classic hats. They have an aesthetic that appeals to many different people. Folks who enjoy a laid-back style and those who like a more natural look can all take pleasure in wearing this functional, yet fashionable, headwear. They also can be a great way to add a bit of western flair to your outfit without needing to invest a lot of money. Cowboy hats can cost a pretty penny, but straw hats can give you a similar vibe for a fraction of the cost.
We carry a Amish straw hat that is handmade by and Amish Craftsman that would be a nice addition to your hat collection.

You may hear a wind chime that sounds OK, and then there are wind chimes that you want to hear over and over again, because the sound is so pleasing and relaxing and just plain fun. Why do some produce the most pleasing sounds while others do not?
Tuning to the pan tonic scale of Middle C is the most pleasing sound to the human ear - no matter who hears it, they enjoy it. First the desired length is chosen and cut. Next the approximate nodal point is found. This is where the resonance carries the longest, and where the oscilloscope is mounted. Third, the column is physically struck to tell when it is in tune. The oscilloscope will register when the purest sound for the note is being produced. This is where the first hole is drilled. Continue to work from the largest column to smaller columns in this manner, and the wind chime will be perfectly tuned.
A set of wind chimes in perfect tune make playing a nursery rhyme tune like Mary Had a Little Lamb, simple, fun, and with a rich, full tone. The best material for making this beautiful harmonic tune is aluminum. These are the wind chimes that carry the sustained tones; and when perfectly tuned, will give the most pleasing sound to the human ear.

Wind chimes have a pleasant sound. Have you ever wondered how they make those sounds? The basic parts of a set include four to eight rods, all of which are pitched differently, and a center disc, which is designed to hit only two non-consecutive rods at a time. No exact method on creating perfectly harmonious wind chimes exists, however. Makers and designers often create with varying types of materials, from metal of different thicknesses to wood, and this varies from, for example, the set lengths for strings inside a piano. Although both a set of chimes and a piano have the same concept, or a pitched object being hit to make said sound, wind chimes are open to more experimentation.
The reason any object makes a sound when hit has to do with vibrations, and wind chimes are no different. The key when creating them is to find the exact length and thickness for the materials you’re using to create the perfect pitch. Generally, the pitch groups used are a pentatonic chord or a major chord - but not in the same set. Although the full set of notes for a pentatonic chord can be used for a full set, a set based on pitches of a major chord uses the same notes again but in a different octave. As a result, wind chimes created with a major chord in mind often have a larger pitch range.

Are you looking for a way to reduce the waste that builds up in your home. I have the perfect solution compost with red wigglers they consume nearly their entire weight in compost every day. The nutrient rich can be conveniently recycled into your garden and used for your house plants. The nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and potash are readily absorbed by the plant’s systemic system.
Your redworms will consume all your table scraps minus dairy and meat products, leaves, dryer lint, egg shells, and kitchen scraps such as potato peelings Don’t hesitate to do your part to help save the environment order your worms today.

Almost all of the waste produced by a vegetarian diet can be converted to soil by your worm composting bin
. Avoid adding processed foods, like potato chips, or any foods containing oils, meats, dairy, or eggs, crushed eggshells are OK.
In addition to fruit and vegetable waste, the worms will also digest tea bags, coffee filters, paper towels and cardboard.
Because red wigglers are used to living in the soil, be sure to bury their food, alternating the section of the bin food is placed.
You will have fresh worm casting compost in as little as one month to use as an organic fertilizer or make compost tea.
http://www.organicwormcomposting.com
now that you have fresh worm casting you will need to know how to separate the worms from the castings.
There are two methods for separating the worms from the compost. Because the worms avoid light, dumping the contents of your bin onto a large piece of cardboard (this can later be fed to the worms)in bright light or sunlight will send the worms wriggling toward the center of the pile. You can then begin removing the outer layers of compost. To speed up the process make several smaller piles.
The second separation method is to divide your bin in half. Push the compost to one side of the bin, and add fresh bedding and food to the other side, eventually all of the worms will migrate to the side that is being fed. I recommend waiting at least a month so all the cocoons have a chance to hatch and the new hatchlings move to the new compost. You can then harvest the worm-free compost

New Improved Worm Factory’s® 360 worm bin was developed specifically to take on five to eight pounds of food and kitchen scraps per day and in doing so, create a plentiful amount of nutrient rich worm castings for the garden once a month.
I started using the worm castings in my garden several years ago. I am now all organic thanks to the worm castings and worm tea. Compost tea fertilizes and helps prevent disease it also keeps away some garden pests when sprayed on plants several times during the growing season.

The history of wind chimes dates back roughly 5000 years. They did not start in one area or society but in several different regions of the world, simultaneously. Just as their birth from several separate societies spanned a long period of time, the purpose of garden wind chimes is as varied as its innovators. They have been placed in outdoor spaces for the purposes of meditation, spiritual dedication, warding off evil spirits and honoring the voice of the wind, etc….
The oldest models that were dug up, from a region of Southeast Asia, were thought to scare off demons or evil spirits. Artifacts found elsewhere in the world that date from a similar period, however, seem to indicate the Wind Chimes were used to keep birds and predators away from crop and cattle. The Chinese, sometime around 1100 B.C., began mastering the production of bells and thus opened the door for the use of bells. Wind bells, as they were commonly known, became popular for use in the house and on shrines as a means to fend off unwanted energies. The popularity of wind bells in houses and shrines translated well to common outdoor spaces. These practices moved west with the spread of Asian influence in art and design.

What a wonderful gift to give for that outdoor or backyard enthusiast who just happens to be in the military or a veteran from another time and era. The gift I am talking about is a Military Flag that depicts their affiliation with a branch of the service. Of course, you can’t forget to buy Old Glory ,our wonderful American Flag, to hang right beside the military flag. These high-flying, well-made, sturdy flags are embroidered on both sides and will last for many, many years to come. Why not buy these now to get ready to display them once Spring starts showing signs of breaking through the cloudy, snowy days of winter. Think spring and summer!!! It is just ahead of us.

Picking a location is important when starting a container garden. You could start your container garden by choosing a sunny spot in the house. Generally, the best places are going to be close to the windows. If the weather is warm, a balcony, porch or patio is an ideal location for container gardens. You can also use window boxes or planters if you do not have a designated outdoor space, but want to keep the possible messes that come with a garden out of the house.
Make your selections wisely. Not all plants can thrive in container gardens. Some plants require a more dedicated space for their root growth. While there are some plants that you would be better off having the professionals grow, there are plenty of other ones that will grow just fine in a container.
You can generally tell whether or not a plant is going to do well in a container by reading the package that the plant seeds come in. Most seed packets will say right on the bag whether or not you should use those seeds in a container garden. If you are ever in doubt as to whether or not a seed will grow indoors or in a container, you should feel free to ask the garden center associate for help.

Wind chimes are beautiful ornaments that can be added to your fully-furnished home. With the inclusion of outdoor chimes, a natural music is produced as the wind naturally hits the metals of the small accessory. The wind is the main ingredient that produces the sound of this device. However, before buying chimes, be wary of a few things.
First, outdoor wind works with the wind. This means that when the wind passes, the individual pieces bump into each other to create music. Therefore, Wind chimes are best used on areas where wind blows from moderate to slightly frequent. Areas where wind barely passes will have no use for wind chimes.
Also, chimes can be helpful when identifying if someone came through the door, as opening it would usually bring in a wisp of air. If this is your purpose, then the chimes should be located near the door that is not frequently raided by wind. If there is always wind blowing in the area, then there would be no distinction whether there is an intruder or whether it was only the wind that triggered the chimes. http://www.amishhandcraftedmetalwindchimes.com

One of the ways to create a serene office atmosphere would be to bring nature into the office ..,. this could be done most easily by having several potted plants and floral arrangements in addition to features like artificial water falls. Choosing the right kind of plants and containers and arranging them the right way will add a touch of class in addition to serenity.
Large plantersmay be well suited for larger lobbies. But having a large lobby is not always a necessity and they can be made to fit in a small lobby as well. In addition to plants, floral arrangements can also be a great way to create an atmosphere of serenity and calm in the lobby.
Here at Amish Furniture Crafts we carry a large selection of quality unique wooden planter’s handcrafted by a local Amish Craftsman. The peddler’s cart planter would be a addition to anyone lobby.

Plant year round! Garden planters don’t have to be a spring or summertime place to grow your beauties any longer. Thanks to new strains of plants and flowers and new growing techniques you can enjoy the blossoming beauty of flowers all year long.
Of course, it’s hard to beat the beauty of traditional wood garden planters. The wood meshes perfectly with the plantings, creating a natural look. Adding plastic liners will allow your wooden garden planters to look like new for years to come. Just remember to avoid the temptation to use stains and sealers. These can be toxic to plants.

Handcrafted Planters are available in a number of shapes, styles and sizes, which is great for you since you can find something that will fit nicely into your existing outdoor space or home décor without having any troubles. For example, maybe you have a deck area and just want to add some nice eye-catching accents to the space. Then, a nice option for you would be ones that are smaller in size that have a triangle design. These would easily fit into any corner in the space.
Or, maybe you have a patio area and you want some privacy from those nosey neighbors that keep bother you. To achieve that, all you need to do is buy ones that are long and rectangular. You can put them up all around your patio area, plant some taller trees or shrubs in them, and you not have to worry about the neighbors trying to peek in on you anymore. Or, you might have a front porch area that is kind of boring. One nice option for that space would be wooden swing planter as a nice way to jazz up the look of the space. Plus, it would serve as a nice ice breaker for starting conversations when guests come over

The garden is a place where we can go to get away from the discomforts of everyday life, a place where we can sit back and listen to birdsong and the rustling of the tree’s leaves. One popular type of ornament are Garden Wind Chimes, which as well as their ornamental appeal are beneficial thanks to their relaxing properties when disturbed by a light breeze.
Many people find that the sound produced by Wind chimes relaxes them as unlike music there is no melody or rhythm to follow. The sound is much more natural sounding than music, and the effect they produce is more like listening to the ocean waves breaking against the shore, rainfall or a thunderstorm - all of which can aid relaxation and a meditative state of mind.

Does your daily life eat up your time and energy, especially if you do not know how to balance work and play. And you are trying to find time to relax, smell the flowers, sing, dance and laugh.
Each of us has our own means of coping or breaking free from the daily pressure and hustles of life. Some us find comfort in spending time with our friends and loved ones, while others find sheer pleasure with themselves simply by watching the sunset or walking in thegarden.
A garden is usually one of the havens for comfort, peace, and joy. Merely walking around to watch the flowers or the birds soaring up high can help ease your troubles. Aside from the natural work of nature, the soothing effect of your garden can be made more effective if you adorn it with a waterfall & garden wind chimes. Chimes can add beauty that can appeal not only to your eyes but to your ears as well.

Wind chimes have been around for centuries; some say they came from India about the ninth or tenth century while others that they originated in Southeast Asia about the same time. Whenever or wherever they originated, they have been producing their unique brand of magic in our homes and gardens for centuries.
Wind chimes produce a variety of musical and nature related sounds. The notes can range from a soft gentle tinkle to the deep resonant sound of distant church bells. It greatly depends on the size and materials used in making them.
Wind chimes made from metal offer a wide range of musical sounds. Small metal chimes will have a musical note similar to ones made of glass. Ones that are a little larger can produce a soothing ethereal melody and very long ones will more resemble the sound of distant temple bells. Good quality metal chimes are hand tuned.

If you are looking for alternative ways to make the yard beautiful, and not just rely on the grass? Then you maybe should take a look at containers and what you can do with them. Most people think they are just good for flowers and they are certainly good for those. However, they are also wonderful for certain herbs as well as vegetables and some fruit.
You can utilize containers and plant stands to bring color to places that seem dark and alone. It is amazing how just bringing one colorful plant out to a porch area can cheer the place up. It is the same with patios, decks and driveways. Plants bring the colors of nature nature as well as the feel of nature to any area in your home or on the outside of your home.

Sure you can find nature inspired prints for your patio cushions or even some flowery artwork for the wall but why not decorate with living plants and flowers. A few outdoor planters and you will do this with ease. Fill them with white blooms that will light up the night or fragrant ones to appeal to your senses.
You can even move them off the deck. The possibilities are endless. Try placing one along a winding garden path. It becomes a stopping point on the brief but lovely journey to your patio. You can breather in the fragrances of sweet blooms or enjoy a shady reprieve from the sun. You can even use them to deter bugs from ruining your backyard barbeque. Simply fill them with geraniums they are a natural insect repellent.

The Crab Apple Bonsai is a plant for all seasons.
There are few guests who wouldn’t be thrilled with the sight of a maturing flowering crab apple bonsai tree as it progresses through the seasons. Spring brings pink fragrant blooms which cover the tree. Summer has little green apples that will ripen into all different colors on the background of small lobed green leaves. Fall adds the beauty of its foliage turning to shades of yellow, orange and red. Winter brings a nice twiggy skeletal outline punctuated by the fruit which persists throughout the winter. There’s no way around it, the Flowering Crabapple Bonsai is a very special tree for any bonsai collection and a true accent piece for any outdoor decor.

You’ve probably had it happen before. You’ve bought a small plant from a store and popped it in the ground only to watch it get weaker and weaker no matter what you did to try and keep it going.
Young plants are like young children. They need a lot of nutrients to grow. If you put them in a soil that other plants have been living in for some time, it is very possible those other plants have depleted some of the nutrients in the soil and it is now not enough to keep your new addition healthy.
Instead, you may want to consider outdoor planters for those new plants until they seem healthy and strong enough to make their own way in your garden beds.

I remember when I was a child my family hung wind chimes that clanged and clanked to utter distraction. The chimes were beautiful to look at but when they began to move with the wind the noise was dreadful. Thank goodness I had a listening experience that changed my mind and redeemed my opinion of wind chimes I was fortunate to be introduced to hand tuned wind chimes. Wow, I discovered that they are truly remarkable musical instruments that sing a melody in the wind.
What makes these chimes exceptional? The talent of the people who make them makes all the difference. Quality chimes will harmonize with each other whether they are hung alone or in groups. They are designed with precision and have clarity of tone and resonance. Hand tuned chimes may cost more than some of the more generic brands but you get what you pay for!

Spruce up your patio’s decor with piece of nature.
The Scots Pine Bonsai is a hardy, evergreen outdoor bonsai. Even in the wild, it matures naturally in the bonsai literati style, with branches spreading horizontally below its flattened apex. In bonsai form the Scots Pine will bring the natural beauty to your deck or patio. It has scaly bark is reddish brown when young, and gray-brown when older. The needles, in pairs, are stiff and often twisted, 1 1/2 to 3” long, and color from gray-green to blue-green. The cones are about the same length as the needles. It is a most suitable pine for bonsai. Native to western and northern Europe, the Scots pine is a conical to columnar tree. For the bonsai enthusiast the very short needles on this Scots pine, complementing graceful movement of trunks make it a sought after specimen.

It is really nice to have something bright and cheerful but not too brash outside your house. If you have plants, choose the colors carefully as you want it to look pretty and stand out a bit, but not look too garish. It is lovely to have a front garden with some well chosen plants and flowers in the beds, but not everyone is lucky enough to have a front garden. If you do not, then there are other ways that you can make the front of your house look nice. Decorative planter boxes can look really nice! It is easy to fill them with brightly colored flowers or miniature trees and bushes for some all year interest.
If your house is modern or does not have window sills that take window boxes, then you might find that outdoor planters could brighten it all up. You could get some trees or topiary either side of the front door or a pot of flowers one side. If you have steps to the front door then little wooden pots of geraniums look really nice. It is fun to play around with different plants and colors from season to season to find out which ones suit your house and your taste.

Combining plants is a fun part of container gardening. Try mixing and matching different plants such as annuals, tropical’s, perennials, trees, shrubs, vines and vegetables. Before planting, arrange the new plants in or around your container while they are still in their small pots to see how they fit best. A good rule of thumb is to plant the tallest upright foliage plant in the center. Next, plant the shorter and more compact flowering plant to the side of the center, near the edge of the planter. Leave enough space between these plants to allow for growth. Finally, place plants with trailing or semi-trailing growth habits around the planters outer edges leaving enough space for adequate spreading and trailing.

Deck planter boxes appeal to the Type A personality in us all by playing up to our inner control freaks. With planters, you can micromanage water and sunlight levels, along with soil content by separating different plants with different needs into their own planters. With a regular garden, you only have one soil type, the same amount of rainwater and one type of lighting. With good luck, your plants will all be hearty enough to these variable conditions, but the chances are good that one or two won’t survive.
There’s also the luxury of being able to grow all sorts of different plants in separate deck planter boxes that would naturally never survive in the same soil conditions as one another. Some plants, for instance, require different nutrients, or thrive in a more or less acidic soil composition. A desert garden that uses sand instead of soil can have you growing cactuses just a few feet away from your tropical flowers planter.

When planning your living space outside your home most people consider how their environment looks. You want to know that everything has symmetry or a purpose. Most people will look for an ebb and flow, pleasing colors and patterns. But how many people consider the sounds that will soothe your soul in this environment?

Container gardening can be enjoyed by everyone no matter how old you are, no matter how much you know about gardening. Many people enjoy container gardening for the simple ease and convenience of planting gardens in containers or pots. It is ideal when space is limited. Plants are right up close for you to admire as you gaze out of your windows and sit on your deck and patio. Container plantings can soften the hard lines of a patio of deck.
Build a container garden on a balcony, patio, deck, or any other places where a backyard is not available. Planting in containers is also a great solution when you have extremely difficult soil in your yard, or you are just plain fed up with hours of weeding a conventional flowerbed. Maybe your outdoor space is paved. Then you have no choice but to plant in pots!

Are you ready to spice up the entry way to your home? We’re not talking the foyer. By the time people get into your house, they have already gotten their real first impression, from the outside. You need to make sure the theme and style you are trying to give off from your home is present from the time people first enter your property.
Look at your driveway. Is it just a plain, boring driveway with nothing special to show the way to the house. Sure, the main purpose of the driveway is to be a place to drive, but that doesn’t mean it has to be ugly and boring. Just as you would dress up the walls in your house, instead of leaving them in plain white with no accents, you can dress up your driveway.
One of the easiest ways to do this is with garden planters. Every 10 feet or so up the driveway, you could put a decorative garden planters on each side of the drive, as a guide of where the road is, as well as an attractive addition to the driveway.

Does your daily life eat up your time and energy, especially if you do not know how to balance work and play. And you are trying to find time to relax, smell the flowers, sing, dance and laugh.
Each of us has our own means of coping or breaking free from the daily pressure and hustles of life. Some us find comfort in spending time with our friends and loved ones, while others find sheer pleasure with themselves simply by watching the sunset or walking in thegarden. A garden is usually one of the havens for comfort, peace, and joy. Merely walking around to watch the flowers or the birds soaring up high can help ease your troubles. Aside from the natural work of nature, the soothing effect of your garden can be made more effective if you adorn it with a waterfall & garden wind chimes. Chimes can add beauty that can appeal not only to your eyes but to your ears as well.

You just love flowers. You cannot get enough of them, but you have pretty much run out of fresh ground and garden space in your backyard to plant them. So, if you think your planting days are done, think again because all you need to do is buy some lovely planters for your outdoor space.
Planters are decorative outdoor fixtures that allow you to plant whatever you want, wherever you want. You can easily move them from place to place, and your gardening creativity will never be stifled since they allow for so much planting freedom. For example, maybe you want to add some smaller flowers to your deck space, a great way to do that is with a small one that has a tapering vase shape.

With the inability to plant directly into the earth, planters and pots offer an alternative growing medium. In cases such as an upstairs patio or a small outdoor space, the use of decorative pots, combined with wood planters, allows for both functionality and décor. By choosing your plants carefully you will be able to create a long-lasting show of greenery and create needed elements such as screening unwanted views or softening a corner.
It is very common to use plants on the patio or deck for the intention of screening. Screening can be something as basic as hiding an unattractive waste receptacle or adding privacy from a too-close neighboring home.

Garden Planters aren’t just for flowers and herbs (though they work great for both). Vegetables can also grow extremely well in these confined spaces, so long as a few simple steps are followed. Depending on the planter size, most anything can be planted, especially if care is taken to choose more dwarf or bush varieties, which take up even less space than full-size plants.
There are some basic things to take into consideration. All garden planters should come equipped with some sort of drainage system, which is usually as simple as holes on the bottom out of which water can exit. Excess water, especially in the case of strong rains, can easily kill a plant, especially those varieties prone to drier environments. Another concern for planters is color. Darker colored containers are apt to absorb more sunlight than light containers, the result of which is more heat. Too high of a temperature can damage a plant’s roots.

Are you going crazy trying to figure out a nice outdoor décor design for the summer? Outdoor planters might solve your problem, they are available in a number of shapes, styles and sizes, which is great for you since you can find something that will fit nicely into your existing outdoor space without having any troubles.
For example, maybe you have a deck area and just want to add some nice eye-catching planters to the space. A nice option for you would be ones that are smaller in size that have a triangle design. These would easily fit into any corner of you’re space. Or, maybe you have a patio area and you want some privacy from those nosey neighbors that keep bothering you. To achieve that, all you need to do is buy ones that are long and rectangular. You can put them up all around your patio area, plant some taller trees or shrubs in them, and not have to worry about the neighbors trying to peek in on you anymore. Or, you might have a front porch area that is kind of boring. One nice option for that space would be tapered planter as a nice way to jazz up the look of the space. Plus, it would serve as a nice ice breaker for starting conversations when guests come over.

Good Morning! Along with allowing you to plant whatever you want, unique wooden planters are also a great choice because they themselves are also extremely appealing to the eye. They are a great way to add a decorative touch to your outdoor space and they get their wonderful look from the many eye-catching materials that they can be fashioned out of. You can get ones crafted from stunning Cypress, which has a fabulous golden natural tone.
Another wonderful option they can be crafted from is Red Cedar that has a lovely cinnamon-reddish tone. Along with the Cypress and Red Cedar selections, there are many other wood alternatives as well as those of the manmade variety like plastic and resin.

Are you looking for a way to reduce the waste that builds up in your home?
I have the perfect solution compost with red wigglers they consume nearly their entire weight in compost every day. The nutrient rich can be conveniently recycled into your garden and used for your house plants. The nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and potash are readily absorbed by the plant’s systemic system.
Your redworms will consume all your table scraps minus dairy and meat products, leaves, dryer lint, egg shells, and kitchen scraps such as potato and carrot peelings Don’t hesitate to do your part to help save the environment order your worms today.

When you think of the forest you think of the Maple Tree.
Japanese Red Maple Trees stand out conspicuously in all their splendor. The Maple Bonsai presents a kaleidoscope of color and charm through the 4 seasons. The color changes are as great a feast to see as the autumnal tints. This maple plant makes a great bonsai and the bonus is the spectacular spring red or purple foliage. It is an elegant tree which responds well to bonsai cultivation and is extremely rewarding in the range of its attractions-the graceful branch structure, the delicate shape of the five-lobed leaves and the seasonal variation of foliage color. In older specimens, the bark develops beautiful silver coloring. This species has been cultivated in Japan for centuries.
Go to our online store and put “maple” in the search bar to find our selection of maple bonsai which include pre-bonsai to specimen bonsai. A live maple bonsai will bring beauty or the forest to your porch or patio.

Landscape ”accessories”can offer many unique complements that will really set off your yard. Consider your yard to be just another room of your house…only without a ceiling! Just as you have various knickknacks scattered around to give each room a homey feel, so you can scatter knickknacks around your yard as well.
If you’re of a nautical bent, pieces of driftwood or lighthouses can make interesting conversation pieces, as driftwood is twisted by nature into the most interesting of shapes. Garden Lighthouses w/light will serve there purpose as well – gives a nice touch to you’re outdoor décor. As do single boulders and rocks, as opposed to a collection of rocks for a rock garden, of course - which is a nice accessory in itself.

Do you feel like adding a little green to your deck, porch, or patio but do not exactly know how you are going to do it? Actually, there is an easy way to do just that, all you need to do is purchase some lavish outdoor wooden planters for your space and you will be good to go.
Outdoor planters are lovely fixtures for your space that are the perfect way to introduce some plant life into it. What is great about them is that fact that there are a number of different sizes and styles available, so you can get ones to fit into your space and without much trouble at all. For example, maybe you have a couple of empty corners on your deck that are just bare and unattractive. Well, a great option for you then would be those on the smaller side, probably something in the shape of a triangle or circle, or some bucket plantersthat would nicely fit into that corner. You could plant some eye-catching flowers in them, or for something a little different, maybe a nice shrub.

Pool Filter Cartridges, which one is right for me? Most cartridge filters have a model number stamped on the top or bottom ring. Simply search for that model and you got it! I that does’t work for you, look on the outside of the filter can or unit for the model number, look up that model and most sites will tell you which filter will work.
In rare cases where all the numbers are worn off, measure the cartridge, making sure to measure to 1/16th of an inch, height, width, and diameter of the hole will be needed, then call DAD’s Pool at 866-654-7668, they can usually research almost any pool product.

now that you have fresh worm casting you will need to know how to separate the worms from the castings.
There are two methods for separating the worms from the compost. Because the worms avoid light, dumping the contents of your bin onto a large piece of cardboard (this can later be fed to the worms)in bright light or sunlight will send the worms wriggling toward the center of the pile. You can then begin removing the outer layers of compost. To speed up the process make several smaller piles.
The second separation method is to divide your bin in half. Push the compost to one side of the bin, and add fresh bedding and food to the other side, eventually all of the worms will migrate to the side that is being fed. I recommend waiting at least a month so all the cocoons have a chance to hatch and the new hatchlings move to the new compost. You can then harvest the worm-free compost.

Almost all of the waste produced by a vegetarian diet can be converted to soil by your worm composting bin. Avoid adding processed foods, like potato chips, or any foods containing oils, meats, dairy, or eggs, crushed eggshells are OK.
In addition to fruit and vegetable waste, the worms will also digest tea bags, coffee filters, paper towels and cardboard. Because red wigglers are used to living in the soil, be sure to bury their food, alternating the section of the bin food is placed. You will have fresh worm casting compost in as little as one month to use as an organic fertilizer or make compost tea. http://www.organicwormcomposting.com

Worm Factory’s® worm bin was developed specifically to take on five to eight pounds of food and kitchen scraps per day and in doing so, create a plentiful amount of nutrient rich worm castings for the garden once a month.
I started using the worm castings in my garden several years ago. I am now all organic thanks to the worm castings and worm tea. Compost tea fertilizes and helps prevent disease it also keeps away some garden pests when sprayed on plants several times during the growing season.

The Worm Factory’s® is a multi-tray worm composter that uses red wiggler worms to enhance compost while speeding up the process. Fill each stacking tray with food scraps, junk mail and other household waste. Worms start in the bottom tray and migrate upward as they break down the waste. This allows worms to separate themselves from the finished compost making it easy to add nutrient-rich fertilizer to plants and gardens without sorting worms. Additionally, nutrient-rich moisture is captured in the collection tray and can be drained as liquid fertilizer known as “worm tea”.

You can even turn your patio into a patio garden to make it more interesting.
You can turn the plainest of patios into a patio garden with the good use of wood planters,containers or outdoor planters.

Choose a classic Juniper Bonsai to adorn your patio or porch.
The Classic Juniper Bonsai is easy to grow and it has that exotic bonsai look that will give any decor a boost. The juniper prefers to be outdoors in a container, which can be placed on the patio, deck, or lanai in full or partial sun. It can be brought indoors for special occations. Of course, the height and size of the plant is restricted when it is grown in a container. The juniper bonsai tree is not a demanding plant, so ordinary garden soil could be used, but special bonsai soil is ideal. In many older patios, you will see junipers trained flat against a wall, fence, or fireplace chimney to soften an otherwise uninteresting area, or you can use it free-standing on a small table. With a little pruning, some interesting shapes can be created and making it an excellent plant your home. A basic bonsai book will give you the knowledge you need to be successful.
There are several types of Juniper Bonsai offered on our site.

Looking for that Outdoor Bonsai that will add class to any poarch or patio.
The Alberta Spruce is a coniferous (cone bearing) slow growing pyramidal evergreen with bushy deep green needle foliage. It was discovered in the Canadian Rockies in 1904. Simon and Schuster’s Guide to Bonsai states that it is particularly adaptable to bonsai because it can stand both repotting and pruning. The Alberta Spruce is most often shown as solitary trees in either formal upright or informal upright. Its needlelike leaves are persistent for several seasons, but much shorter than those of pine; born singly and closely in spirals; four-sided or diamond-shaped in cross section. Each leaf appears narrow at the base. Flowers appear as small cones, male and female on the same tree. Spruce have a pendent woody cone with thin, smooth or ragged-edged scales.
The Alberta Spruce adds that rugged outdoor look to any decor.;

Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Master gardeners agree that compost produced by worms will produce the best results and help your plants thrive!
The Worm Factory’s® unique stackable, multi-tray design makes it the most efficient composter around. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms separate themselves from the finished compost that is ready for the garden.

Sure you can find nature inspired prints for your patio cushions or even some flowery artwork for the wall but why not decorate with living plants and flowers. A few outdoor planters and you will do this with ease. Fill them with white blooms that will light up the night or fragrant ones to appeal to your senses.
You can even move them off the deck. The possibilities are endless. Try placing ahandcrafted wooden
planters along a winding garden path. It becomes a stopping point on the brief but lovely journey to your patio. You can breath in the fragrances of sweet blooms or enjoy a shady reprieve from the sun. You can even use them to deter bugs from ruining your backyard barbeque. Simply fill them with geraniums they are a natural insect repellent.

Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Master gardeners agree that compost produced by worms will produce the best results and help your plants thrive!
The Worm Factory’s® unique stackable, multi-tray design makes it the most efficient composter around. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms separate themselves from the finished compost that is ready for the garden.
At organic worm composting we have a full line of composting supplies and worms.

What plant is the best to use for the cascade style bonsai?
Juniper is the “best overall” - simple and forgiving. The juniper rises above the rest because of its naturally draping form - lending itself readily to cascade and semi-cascade styles. They are easy to care for, put up with a fair amount of abuse and take well to bonsai techniques. The Juniper Bonsai produces quite an impressive specimen in a relatively short period of time.
The Cascade-style bonsai are modeled after trees which grow over the bank of a lake or river or down the side of mountains. The apex, tip of the tree in the Semi-cascade-style bonsai, extends just at or beneath the lip of the bonsai pot, while the apex of a full cascade style falls well below the base of the pot.
The cascading juniper adds a sense of eligance to any outdoor decor. View the cascading juniper bonsai tree 1n our on-line store.

The exotic Chinese Elm Bonsai is both an indoor and outdoor plant.
Chinese Elm are quite good plants to choose for beginners at bonsai - with a predictable growth pattern and being quite forgiving when pruned. This bonsai has a shrubby, slow-growing form with small, neatly arranged leaves bearing white “teeth.” The fruit mature in fall (autumn), much later than those of most other elms. The Chinese Elm is an excellent candidate for bonsai. Most Chinese Elms have the “S” curved trunk making it a point of interest whether inside your home or outside on the patio.
Our on-line store has a wide variety of Chinese Elms. Choose one today.

There are many reasons for growing plants in garden containers, flower pots and planters. An obvious one is if you are growing exotic plants that can be placed outdoors in summer in a location that suits each plant, and then taken indoors or into a more shaded spot in the fall and winter.
People who rent their homes and tend to move around with their job can grow their own plants that can move with them. Plants grown in garden containers are portable, and to many people this is big advantage. Not only that, but you arrange your garden as you please rather than the plants being in fixed positions. Using containers and flower pots it is possible to plant a whole garden that can be rearranged to suit the flowering patterns of the plants.

Good afternoon from LaGrange, IN. I was just thinking that each of us has our own means of coping or breaking free from the daily pressure and hustles of life. Some find comfort in spending time with their friends and loved ones, while others find sheer pleasure with themselves simply by watching the sunset or walking in the garden. Or maybe growing a little herb or vegetable garden in nice awooden wheel planter on there back deck.
A garden is usually one of the havens for comfort, peace, and joy. Merely walking around to watch the flowers or the birds soaring up high can ease your troubles. Aside from the natural work of nature, the soothing effect of your garden can be made more effective if you adorn it with wind chimes. King David’s Harp Wind Chimes can add beauty that can appeal not only to your eyes but to your ears as well.

Good Morning! Even people who do not have much space for a vast garden can create a small flower or vegetable garden in the balcony area or roof top with the help of planter boxes. Small trees can also be raised in planter boxes to keep them indoor. Recycled plastic is also used to make planter boxes.
So, if you live in the city and think that it is impossible to bring a little green into your outdoor space that is made of concrete, think again.
All you have to do is purchase some lovely wooden planter boxes. An ideal option for planting almost anything, they are exactly what you have been looking for and would be a wonderful addition to any outdoor area. Remember, that includes that twelfth story balcony. When choosing the planter boxes, the principal of feng shui i.e., simplicity must be kept in mind.
Outdoor planters made up of natural materials like Red Cedar or Pine is better than plastic material! These add good appearance to the garden or patio.

Looking for an Outdoor Bonsai with a unique look?
Choose a Rock Hornbeam Bonsai Tree. It is a native of Korea, China and Japan. A full size tree would have leaves of 2″ but reduce nicely as bonsai. The new foliage is a deep bronze color which turns to a combination of red, orange and yellow in the fall. The catkins are about 2″ long. The Rock Hornbeam produces hop-like flowers and seed pods when mature. A truly exotic tree which will enhace your outdoor decor.

It is easy to incorporate all that nature has to offer into your backyard retreat when you use wooden planter boxes.
Planter boxes come in various styles and make it easy to find some that will work for you. Buy decorating with living plants and flowers, adds natural color, texture and of course fragrance to an otherwise man-made area. Wooden Planters boxes and containers are hard to beat when it comes to decorating your patio. They are portable, easy to change and update.

Wind chimes have come a long way since their banging, clanging days of old. Today’s precision-Handtuned Wind chimes produce a melody as inviting, sweet, and clear as the song sung by pristine waters cascading down a mountain side on a hot summer’s day. That didn’t happen by accident. More than an enhancement to home décor and garden yard décor, a
quality wind chime is crafted using a scientific approach to achieve the best sound possible.
The lengths and placements of tubular pipes might look as though they were put together haphazardly. In reality, their placement is dependant upon where each pipe will vibrate most when struck by the clapper.
Areas of the pipe called “anti-nodes” resonate with a clearer, truer sound. These special points are found at each end of the pipe, as well as in the center. String placement is also important. Holes for the string are drilled where the pipe vibrates least. This is known as the “node of vibration.”

Christmas is in 10 days, and if you act quickly, we still have time too send you a beautiful lighthouse for Christmas. Have you ever wondered: why is it that everyone has an attraction to lighthouses? The attraction isn’t just for those active lighthouses out on an ocean beach someplace, but also for the lighthouses found in all shapes and sizes in gardens and homes. In fact, Lighthouses are usually the central theme in the Nautical Decor that graces so many houses. The nautical theme decor and outdoor furniture blend together well.
Use hand crafted lighthouses with any decor. There doesn’t seem any design or shape of a lighthouse that is rejected from any particular decor type. These lighthouses are handcrafted by a Local Amish Craftsman here in Northern, IN.

The great thing about it was, while I was watching the birds, I was also getting a musical treat from the chimes.

Were you ever curious about the history of light houses, or how they came to be? In early time people set fires at the edge of the water to warn boats of dangerous rocks and shores. The Egyptians were the first people to build lighthouses to use light to guide ships. In Egypt in 283 the Egyptians completed the tallest lighthouse ever built. It guided ships for over 1,500 years and stood 900 feet tall. Lighthouses were also constructed by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and the Romans
Here at Unique Lawn & Garden Décor we carry a great selection of Amish handcrafted standard lighthouses. All tho are lighthouses are not 900 ft. tall, why not enjoy a little bit of nostalgia with your lawn and décor project. Check out the great selection of painted Lighthouses we carry.

Do you want the art and beauty of bonsai but don’t want the bonsai care?
One of the best options is a Preserved Bonsai Tree. These trees have been carefully shaped by masters of the art, and then preserved using a special natural process. In fact, this type of bonsai actually has the feel and smell of a live plant. You get all the advantages of an Artificial Bonsai without anyone being the wiser. Family and friends will be so impressed at the hard work you put into creating such an amazing bonsai and unless you tell them, you will be the only one who will know.
Most of the preserved bonsai trees are a one-of-a-kind. Because of their beauty, you can set them in any room of the home on an outdoor area and stand back and marvel at just how realistic the tree appears. If you appreciate the art of bonsai, but find you have no time to spend on one, this is the way to go. Each preserved bonsai is stunning and wonderfully crafted. When you buy a preserved bonsai tree, you are buying an actual live plant that has been preserved for life. To the human eye, you simply cannot tell the difference. The reason the preserved bonsai tree looks so real is that it is real, just not alive. Choose from several Preserved Bonsai Trees from our internet bonsai store and begin enjoying it today.

How do you Choose a Bonsai Plant?
Outdoor bonsai is a good place to start if you’re a beginner at this art and feel rather insecure as to how to care for a bonsai. The outdoor bonsai are easy to grow and keep through the winter. If you want to grow conifers, outdoors is the best place to do this.
With outdoor plants you need to decide first whether you want a deciduous (trees that lose their leaves) or an evergreen bonsai. Deciduous trees show off more of their form in the winter when its leaves are gone and can be quite beautiful. If it’s an evergreen you want, would you rather have one with broad leaves or a conifer with needles? Do you want a flowering plant? All of these are a matter of personal taste and the best way to decide is to look at the plants and also pictures of bonsai to see what attracts you. The two evergreen bonsai trees that are very popular are the juniper and the . A popular deciduous bonsai is the Japanese red maple. There are hundreds of choices of outdoor bonsai, so choose from the many bonsai trees pictured on our internet store and get started and begin to enjoy the serenity that is afforded by caring for a bonsai.

Good Morning from LaGrange IN. Wind Chimes have along and varied history around the world. Although most scholars date the existence of wind chimes as far back as prehistoric times in most cultures, they were most prevalent in the Far East. They were predominantly found around sacred places, such as a Buddhist temple or a pagoda, because they were thought to help summon the spirits to these sacred places. These Dream Maker Wind chimes
Were intricately carved and used different sized bells to create different tones and were typically hung in the doorways of these structures.
You can find wind chimes that represent almost any culture in the world. They have been made with almost any material that you can imagine, including shells, wood, and metals. Different cultures have their own style and design of wind chimes, which helps to add variety to the choices for consumers. The sound of Amish Windchimes in your garden or home is unlike anything else that you can imagine. That is probably why they have had such a long and far-reaching history.

Would you like to give the most awesome bonsai tree this year? When it comes to Outdoor Bonsai Trees, the Satsuki Azalea is a great choice. This particular plant is very hardy and produces magnificent flowers ranging up to seven inches in diameter. Of all flowering shrubs, the Azalea is by far the most dramatic. The flowers bloom in late spring, displaying brilliant colors. Unlike other Azaleas that bloom only in the spring, the Chinzan can bloom frequently throughout the year with one or more pink blooms. Satsuki Azalea originated in Japan and are more dwarf than other hybrid groups. Protect the tree (preferably under glass) in the winter, but it is not necessary to bring indoors. Buy the Azalea Bonsai now and get it ready for the spring bloom.

Well not only are they available at Artistic Metal Art, but are also available in all of the same beautiful colors as the Texas Barn Stars.

Were you disappointed with this year garden? Don’t let that happen again next year. Now is the time to start preparing. I have everything you need to start making your own organic compost. for next years crop. I just received an email from one of my customers who purchased worm casting compost this spring. Here is the email.
“ Thank you for your wonderful product I wish I would have purchased more. I planted a row of flowers along the front of my home and ran out of castings half way across, I could not believe the difference the worm castings made. The half with the organic compost had flowers that were twice as tall and produced many more flowers than the other half. I will be placing an order again next spring.”

First a double ring western wall art saying Texas in the top curve, Longhorns in the bottom curve, and a metal cut-out of a longhorn in the center.

Good Morning from LaGrange, IN.A nice addition too you’re outdoor décor would be a set of Large Wind Chimes that sound delightful to the ears, because the wind is the composer of the harmonics or disharmonies that are produced when they are moved. The wind chimes that sound the best are the ones that are based on music, chords and the science of matching musical tones.
You can also buy Large Windchimes that are tuned to different tonal scales. One harmonic scale that is quite common is what is called the pentatonic scale, which is a scale of major notes that was first used in chimes in ancient Greece. You can also fine this type of scale in soprano, tenor, alto and bass versions. Usually the larger the tube is the deeper the sound of the chime will be if it is hit by something.
Yet another interesting tonal scale for Wind Chimes is the Mongolian scale, which consists all of lower tenor notes and bass notes. Although they have very little to do with Christianity they very much like church bells when they strike each other. The important thing to remember about Wind Chimes is that they must be placed somewhere where they will receive a bit of a breeze or they will not make any beautiful music at all.
We carry a very nice selection of large Wind Chimes handcrafted by a Local Amish Craftsman.

Winter dormancy period is important for Outdoor Bonsai TreesOutdoor Bonsai Trees. “But my plant is an evergreen; it doesn’t drop its leaves so it’s not going dormant.” The fact that it is an evergreen plant makes the dormant period even more crucial. While deciduous plants get a total rest, dropping all their leaves allows the tree to send all its sugars to the roots where they are stored evergreens do not get the winter entirely off. They must continue to photosynthesize and respirate as they always do, just at a much lower level than in the growing season. When you force that potted juniper (the most common bonsai is the Japanese juniper) to grow through the winter, it gets tired.
Giving your plants the rest they need.
So what can you do to give your plants the rest they need? If you are in a milder part of the country, and hard freezes are a rarity, simply leaving the plants out of doors will work. Remember not all plants go dormant, so any tropical bonsais in the your collection should still stay inside unless you live in the tropics (Florida or Hawaii). In some areas the Outdoor Bonsai can be planted in the ground and allowed to freeze with the other trees and shrubs in the area. This is not recommended for the extreme cold parts of the US. Study a bonsai bookfor the correct way of handling dormancy in your area.

When buying your first Bonsai, your initial problem will be to decide whether to buy a tree for an ‘Indoor’ or ‘Outdoor’ environment. Remember one important point, there is no such thing as a truly indoor plant. The reason that some trees are described as Indoor Bonsai is only to show that they originate from a (usually) semi-tropical part of the world, and will not tolerate temperatures generally below 12 centigrade (50 degrees), hence the need for them to be kept in a warm place. If you are in any doubt as to a tree’s suitability for the environment you have in mind, be sure to ask the person selling the tree what conditions are appropriate. Other problems that you will encounter when caring for a bonsai will be how much light, how water water, and when to fertlize. There are some excellent bonsai books avaliable to give you the necessary information.

The lovely twinkling sound of wind chimes is something that cannot be matched by anything else. Wind chimes can be made from almost any material that you can think of, including wood, glass, plastic, and metal. Each of these materials makes a different sound tone, but all of the Windchimes work the same way to create their own version of a melody.
Metal Wind Chimes are composed of Aluminum Tubes and a striker or clapper. These pieces can be shaped and cut to make different sounds when they strike the striker or clapper. This is why your wind chimes sound like they are creating a melody with different tones, rather than just sounds. Depending upon how large your wind chimes are, there can be just a few different chimes or there can be quite a few more chimes. The chimes are an integral part of the wind chimes, but without a striker or clapper to strike against, the sounds would not, be as clear and loud as they are.
Check out our large selection of very high quality handcrafted Aluminum Wind Chimes, handcrafted by a local Amish Craftsman.

Good evening from LaGrange, IN .There are several reasons to use wind chimes in your garden, but the bottom line is we usually use them to create some kind of an emotional environment, and some Windchimes are designed to create a meditative environment. Some Unique Wind Chimes
evoke a sense of life and happiness. Some wind chimes have the tonal property of classical music.
Wind chimes have functional uses in the garden, too. They create both an emotional environment and a spiritual one.
Mostly, we use wind chimes in the garden because we like the sound. We like to sit out on a cool evening and listen to the sound of the chimes. It is very sensual, and helps us tune into the world around us. Why don’t you check out our large selection of very high quality Wind Chimes?

Good Morning from LaGrange, IN. And idea crossed my mind, that your outdoor area is actually an extension of your home: another room, another living space. Think of it as your “garden room”. This space should be a refuge, a place of relaxation, entertaining and contemplation. In today’s world of unlimited communication, information and sensory stimulation, the need for peace, solitude, nature and meditation has never been greater. A very high quality set of Amish Wind Chimes would help you achieve that.
The same types of structural and design elements that you utilize indoors to comfortably divide space and add character and ambiance to each room can be brought outside as well. A nice set of handcrafted Textured Taupe Series Wind Chimes would be a nice addiction too your project. They create a deep, soft and melodious tone.

A wonderful way to celebrate that is with our 36″ metal welcome sign that features a tractor in the center of two “rope” rings with the words welcome at the top and 3 five point stars in the bottom curve. This metal welcome sign looks great wherever you choose to use it. At or on your front gate, your fence, or the side of your house or barn.

An element that we feel will bring beautiful design is Wrought Iron.

Sitting out on my patio is one of my favorite things to do (if I’m not traveling). I do this no matter what time of year it is and adjust accessories accordingly, like using a fan in the summer or a soft blanket in the winter.
What I don’t change are my functional yet decorative metal bar stools. These are very unique bar stools that you won’t find elsewhere, (unless they’ve copied our’s) this is a backless barstool made from a metal tractor seat with horseshoes for you to rest your feet on. When it was first made I thought “Well that looks great, but it won’t be comfortable” but it truly is!! They are chosen over our cushioned seats over & over! You talk about cranking up your rustic country decor! Beleive me this does the trick.
Have your guest talking long after they leave about the unique western accessories you’ve chosen that are as much at home outdoors as well as in!

Before our Texas Barn Stars are painted in your color choice, they are powder coated. What this means to you is that there will never be rust running down the side of your house or barn. They are made from a heavy guage metal with a metal “rope” ring around the star giving it even more support and stability. These are nothing like the flimsy tin stars that are seen elsewhere.

Hello and Good afternoon from Lagrange, IN. Wind Chimes for Garden look very enchanting hung in the classic places in the garden – off the branch of a tree, from the eaves of a house or from beams on the front porch. Just make sure that if you do enjoy the sight of squirrels or birds in your back yard that you do not hang the chimes too close to where they like to hang out.
When you hang Windchimes in your garden you might want to consider hanging them near enough to your home so that you can also hear them when you are indoors. If they are particularly attractive it is recommended that you hang the so that they can viewed out of a picture window. This way you can enjoy the sight and sound of your Wind Chimes both inside and outside of your home even if they are hanging outside in the garden.

Are you or someone you know a big fan of fishing? Just about everyone around here is, but part of that may have to do with where we live. We’re only about 6 miles away from one big lake that’s great fishing, and only about 14 miles away from one of the most popular lakes known for bass fishing. Ever heard of Lake Fork in Texas? That’s the one!
Well we’ve got the perfect metal art silhouette for you! This is one you’ve got to see to appreciate, you can almost feel the breeze coming across the lake! Like most of our metal art this silhouette is just as much at home indoors as out, and makes a great gift idea!
Of course we also have western metal silhouette’s that are also hook racks. Try one in your horse barn for tack, it could use some decorating to you know! Or your tool shed to hang who know’s what, or in your garage for………

Good Morning from Lagrange, IN. Have you considered Garden Wind Chimes for your garden. Wind Chimes out in the garden can serve several different practical uses. The first use is that they help to add that relaxing feeling to your garden area. Hearing the sound of wind chimes while walking through your garden can help to relieve your stress and decrease tension. What could be better then that.
If your garden area attracts animals, then you may want to consider adding a shiny set of Windchimes to the area to help discourage the animals from entering the area.

The second one I have on the wall closet to my stove, I use it as a spice rack. It works great for me. I’m sure you could find many use’s for it as well.

I know you’ve all seen the large metal silhouette’s of all kinds of different images. I think the one seen most often is of the cowboy leaning up against a tree. But have you seen the smaller metal silhouette’s that are becoming so popular?
They look absolutely great hanging on barn doors, on the side of a barn, gate or even on the side of your house. Of course it almost goes without saying that they’re great for you indoor western home decor as well.
One of my favorites is the metal silhouette of two cowboys and a horse, sharing a cup of java, after what looks like could have been a long day. The skyline of a city can be seen in the “background”. Measuring 24″ wide x 13 1/2″ high this cowboy silhouette isn’t so big that it overpowers, but large enough to make a statement!

It seems like it just got here but summer is getting close to being almost over. But there is still time for picnic’s at the park, family reunions, and backyard bar-be-cue’s.
One thing that always seems to be a problem at any of these outings is holding down the napkins! If you use paper towels they invariably roll off the table into what… Napkins won’t roll but boy do they ever blow!
Our answer to this annoying problem is our metal outdoor napkin holder that features an arm that holds down the napkins. On each side of the napkin holder there is a five point star that goes great with our many colors & sizes of metal barn stars! Adds a decorative touch with needed functionally!

Would you like the best looking flowers in your neighborhood?
I have achieved these results using red worm castings. All you have to do is add a handful of this rich vermicompost to your potting soil or sprinkle lightly on the ground around your garden plants. Also works great on house plants.
For more information on how to make your own or to purchase red worm castings please visit

Wrought Iron symbolizes our heritage. Log homes were the first homes built in America and blacksmith’s forge wrought iron accessories which were natural companions for these homes. Every settlement had a blacksmith who repaired and made products that were essential to the home. Today we still enjoy the function and beauty of this valuable product in our own homes. Whether you have a log cabin or conventional home enhance it with iron, such as Wall Brackets or Home Lighting. Click on http://www.shorelineornamentaliron.com for great products.

Something that is rarely thought about, but is needed year round, (this is beginning to sound like a riddle!) is a really good door mat. Now we’re not talking about something that just looks pretty sitting outside you doorway.
We’re talking about a super scraper, natural coir fiber bristle, door mat with 100% vinyl backing. Now THAT is going to take the dirt & grime from your shoes! Made with acrylic dyes, this door mat is not only weather resistant, but is also fade resistant.
But besides doing the job that a door mat was meant to do, our door mats will also add to your western outdoor decor & give your guest a taste of what your indoor home decor might be as well!

Metal Barn Stars are very popular and seen everywhere. What makes our’s unique is the heavy guage metal they are made of, plus a metal rope ring encircling the star, giving it much more stability & strength for any kind of weather.
All of our Texas Barn Stars are also powder coated so that you’ll never have rust running down the side of your house or barn. Even after the powder coating we will paint your star in just about any color you can think of (if we don’t have it, we’ll get it.) We will also paint the star as the American flag or the state flag of Texas! Not enough? Okay we also offer 2 different finishes and 7 sizes!

The Old West is a favorite theme for many people, and cowboy decor is becoming more & more popular. Not only with the cattle rancher and the cowboy, but with everyone who wants to honor & celebrate our heritage of the old west.
The invention of the fencing material barbed wire, by an Illinois farmer named Joseph Farwell Glidden, was responsible for turning the open plains of the west into enclosed pastures. This enabled the ranchers to not only isolate their cattle, but to also control breeding. His invention was patented November 24, 1874, forever changing the society and economy of the region.
Now you can incorporate barbed wire into your rustic home decor with western welcome signs outdoors, giving your guest a warm welcome even before they enter your home. Or you could choose the word Texas rather than welcome ~~ or even your last name!

Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Visit http://organicwormcomposting.com for all your composting supplies. The Gusanito® Brand (Patent Pending)Worm Factory design allows food waste to be put into upper trays separating it from finished compost in the lower trays. Simply fill the bottom tray with red wiggler worms, bedding and food scraps. As the worms finish digesting, they will migrate upward into the tray above, leaving rich castings behind. In full operation, the Gusanito® Brand Worm Factory houses 10,000 to 12,000 worms (approx 10 lb), consumes 5 to 8 pounds of food a day, allowing you to harvest a full try of castings per month. Each Gusanito Brand Worm Factory comes with full instructions and everything you need to get started.
