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.

Wow, 2011 has come and gone and we are in another brand new year 2012. So now we can start thinking about possible cold winter months and down the road the spring that is around the corner!

Let’s think once again about our electricity bills and our tight economy.

One of the best gifts for that ‘hard to buy for’ friend or relative is a galvanized metal
barn star. You can purchase them in a large array of sizes. They come in small range of 3” - 7” that is great for decorating in doors and they range up to 120” for outdoor décor.
They can be designed in sports team colors, colors to match you indoor and outdoor décor, or maybe you just want your favorite color. Which ever you choose it can be made
just the way you want it designed. What better way to show the ‘Star’ in you life how much they are loved.
The Old Order Amish Community has been handcrafting galvanized 22 gauge rust resistant, or press tin barn stars for centuries. You can use the rust resistant star outdoors on your home or any building, or back yard setting and not worry about rust streaking down from it. It will stand up in all weather.
Our website carries one of the largest selections of barn stars that you will find. They come with different finishes, such as solid paint, with colors ranging from black to the palest of blues, flags and you can even have them paint in alternating dark and light colors of you choice to match and décor or pro, college or high school sports teams, rustic, hammered, rusty, primed, or unfinished. On many you can choose your hanging method. Large stars can be hung with a sliding hook that can be purchased separate. It is used to mount the larger stars on vinyl siding without any worry of damage to your home or building. We ever carry the new elongated and nautical styles. Stop by and browse through our site.

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.

With winter coming soon it’s time to prepare to take care of your wild birds that will stay around for the winter. The birds will rely on your feeders to supplement them with bird seeds as the snow will prevent them from finding food naturally. Bird feeding can benefit birds and also provide you with great bird watching from your own backyard.
There are many unique bird feeders available. With bird seed prices on the rise it makes sense to stretch your seed dollars and utilize your bird feeders. Place feeders to allow the birds that you desire, to feed, such as the clingers like the chickadees, wrens, titmice, nuthatches and goldfinches.
The Clingers Only in Green will be an often visited bird feeder. It’s easy to fill and clean. From your deck rail, try a Hanging Platform Feeder, the cardinals, goldfinches, chickadees, nuthatches and titmice will stop by for a quick snack. It’s a favorite of many birds because they feel safe and can see any approaching danger and it’s easy for you to see all the birds that are feeding. It’s made from recycled plastic for years of use, easy to clean and disinfect.
We would like for you to see all the bird feeders that we offer. All of our bird feeders are sure to be a hit with your chickadees, cardinals, goldfinches, nuthatches, wrens and titmice.

As you end your fall season, heading into winter and the arrival of cooler temps, you and your family can still enjoy nature from the inside of your warm and cozy house. A true stress reliever, all winter long, watching your feathered friends as they will gladly stop by for a snack. Late migrating birds will visit your feeders on their way to warmer climates for the winter months. While many birds never leave and will look to your feeders for life sustaining seeds and suet’s.
Bird feeders and suet feeders are one of the best ways to attract and keep your wild birds, like cardinals, blue jays, goldfinches, woodpeckers, sparrows and chickadees in your yard all winter long. These birds rely on you to provide them with supplemental seeds and suet’s when the weather turns bad and they cannot forage for themselves. Bird feeders are also unique pieces of outdoor décor for your yard and garden.
There are different types of bird feeders and suet feeders to choose from, depending on the decorative style and types of birds you want to attract. A Deluxe Metal Suet Cage is handy to drop in a cake of suet and the clinging birds hang on the basket and pick at the seeds. It has an attractive copper roof with glass bead suncatchers. A Steel Magnum Thistle Feeder is powder coated, top and bottom, with the mesh being powder coated for years of use. The top will protect the seed while the birds have a roof to cling under while they enjoy eating thistle seed.

Your wild birds, like cardinals, blue jays, goldfinches, woodpeckers, sparrows and chickadees will be delighted to stop by your feeders for the food they need.

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.
Our website carries over 200 hand weaved baskets; each one is created one at a time with products made in the USA. Each basket, although it may be the same design, will have its own unique values.

The benefits of growing your own produce are many. The nutrients in organic foods grown in your Hydroponic Gardening System are much higher. You have a much longer and more productive growing season. You can cut costs by not having to drive to and buy from a grocery store. Another benefit is that this process is more eco freindly making it cleaner for the envirnoment. You can plant what you want and when you want with cloning your favorites in your garden. Weeds and pests can be eliminated that are found in soil based plantings. You can grow organic herbs right in your kitchen and use them when making a salad or special pasta sauce. Imagine what you can do with EasyGrow Hydroponics systems and kits.

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. The sounds created by wind chimes lure visitors to the garden and sooth them during their visit!

A Fire Pit can create lots of memories for your entire family. Our family sits outside after barqueing and then we start our fire pit and roast marshmellows to create smores. The family enjoys it and great to have family time and memories of a life time. Geometric Fire Pit is great for burning up to 33 pounds of wood or charcoal, and comes with a lid. Great for campfires and allows heat and light through the sides and top.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is No End To Your Gardening Season Using Hydroponics
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
What makes these times better yet, is that all your fresh herbs and vegetables were grown organically in your own garden.
Hydroveggies has everything you need for your indoor / outdoor organic, hydroponic gardening.
Please visit us at http://www.hydroveggies.com for all your hydroponic gardening needs.

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. The Amish craftsman are well known for their one of a kind products, quality material and quality craftsmanship. Each bird feeder and birdhouse they create is one at a time. 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.
We carry a very large selection of reclaimed barn wood bird feeders and birdhouse, you will be amazed at the unique and beauty that our Ohio Old Order Amish craftsman have put into each wooden structure they create. From two story bed & breakfast, to extraordinary church and schools. Each product we sell is authentic, hand made in the USA and comes with a money back satisfaction guarantee.

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.

Wow! In just four short months all the racing, setting in traffic, standing in long cashiers lines to get those specials gifts or that last unexpected needed item, oh! and don’t forget the batteries; will be over, all the beautiful wrappings and bows will be ready for the trash bag. 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.

Summer brings about the desire for vacation, rest and relaxation. When we think of relaxation we think of a beach, sand, sun and water! What a tranquil place to get away from the hustle and bustle and visit an area, such as seashore coastline where sunbathers, sailboats and jet skis play. By night you can watch the ships and planes navigate the seas by the light of a coastal lighthouse, emitting light from a system of lamps directing pilots into the inland waterways.
You can bring just such a place into your home, as a memory and reminder of your time spent at the coastline with a beautiful piece of window art. A Lighthouse Ring stained glass suncatcher. This gorgeous and colorful suncatcher is 8 beautiful inches in diameter, featuring a lighthouse with its lamp of light, beaming over the ocean with sailboats floating in the distance.
Suncatchers are highly collectable and make fantastic gifts for nature and outdoor lovers. Our stained glass suncatchers are made from premium, real stained glass and each piece is surrounded with nickel plated metal that will not rust, fade or tarnish.

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
Our canopys are great for backyard outings, camping, great on the pool deck…
Thank you for shopping with us.

It sure has been a long and hot summer and there’s nothing worse than trying to relax on the garden patio in the evening and having the mosquitoes eating you up. A natural way to get rid of the annoying insect is to encourage the purple martin to live in your yard. The purple martin loves bugs and especially mosquitoes.
An easy and economical way to start getting the martins coming into your yard and garden every summer is our 4 pack, 2 pc. Gourd Kit, that are easy to clean and starling resistant. The entrance hole has a perforated removable piece which converts the hole to a round shape. The gourds can be mounted on our Gourd Pole Kit, aluminum 13.5 ft., 4 piece 4 over 4 design. Mount your gourds close to your garden area because the purple martin is a people bird and you will love watching them flying and enjoy their songs.

Summer is finally in full swing and the flowers are in bloom. Most likely you have hummingbirds flying around getting nectar from the flowers. Hummingbirds seem to be especially drawn to the color red, like red or orange flowers.
You can get a closer look at those little critters by placing a red Aladdin Hummingbird Feeder from your shepherds hook in your flower garden. The Aladdin Hummingbird Feeder is hand blown red glass, easy to clean and fill. Or you may like the Crystal Lantern Hummingbird Feeder, also made of glass with 3 feeding stations. The top and bottom are red which will instantly attract the hummingbird without having to add any dyes to the nectar.
Place the feeders on a hanger outside a window where you can sit behind the glass and watch the hummingbirds drink from the feeder. Use a pair of binoculars to observe them at really close range and see the wonder of their tiny wings flapping so rapidly. Once they know the feeder is there with plenty of nectar for them to enjoy they will show up every few minutes for your enjoyment.
Our products are of high quality and competitive prices. At http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com we offer excellent customer service and fast shipping.

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. Come visit us at http://www.recyclingcontainersdepot.com to see great bargins and a variety of containers.

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.

With the warmer weather and summer upon us we think of decorating our flower gardens and planting our vegetable gardens. A whirligig spinner is a garden ornament that will add color, loads of motion and fun to your garden space! Consider protecting your crop from the critters that may eat your garden plants with a unique and attractive whirligig spinner.
A wind powered whirligig spinner serves a dual purpose. First, as a pleasant garden ornament that is enjoyable to watch as the wind blows the propeller and a hummingbird hovers and feeds at a flower or a dog bobs up and down on an airplane! Second, the wind moving the whirligig propeller, causing the movement of the sculpture on the whirligig spinner and scaring away any birds, rabbits, squirrels or even chipmunks from consuming your beans, lettuce and tomatoes in your vegetable garden.
At http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com you will find our whirligig spinners are unique and fun ornaments designed for many seasons of enjoyment, plus they make great gifts. You will love them!

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.

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

Squirrels can be a real nuisance when it comes to our yard and garden bird feeders. They like the access of an easy meal of seeds that you put out for your songbirds and they will literally chase your birds away.
You can keep the squirrels from getting into your bird feeder with the scientology of the Squirrel Buster bird feeder. This feeder is unbeatable and 100% squirrel proof. It offers both a clinging and perching environment. It’s easy to disassemble for cleaning/filling and features seed tube ventilation to keep seed fresher.
We offer the Squirrel Buster Classic, which holds 1 ½ quart and a smaller version called the Squirrel Buster Mini. Both feeders carry a 1 year warranty. We know you’ll love the quality of these feeders. Please visit us at http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com we guarantee our products and your satisfaction.

With Summer here are you and your family spending more time outside enjoying your backyard and garden? One of the easiest and inexpensive things to enjoy as a family is feeding and watching the different species of birds that frequent your yard.

Most birds will use any standard style of birdhouse, however, the bluebird requires one without a perch on it.
When shopping for the items that you will need, you as most of us shoppers, want to be sure to buy quality products for the best prices we can find.

With the warmer weather finally here and everyone trying to balance busy schedules of working and summer activities, it’s hard to find the time to change your home from winter mode, to summer mode. We have a few ideas that can help speed up your process, without taking a large bite out of your wallet.
Instead of packing all of your winter clothing, drapes, bedding and etc. in boxes and carrying them to an attic, basement, or storage building for the summer; just to drag them all out of storage again in a few short months year after year, why not try some beautiful hand woven Amish baskets. You can purchase chest styles or large hamper styles for easy storage and you sure won’t want to put them away out of sight. Also, there will be no more moving boxes from one place to another, your ‘boxes’ will be out for everyone to enjoy.

We have the perfect Hummingbird Feeder! It’s the easiest feeder to fill and clean. It has an ant-moat that you can fill with water so the ants can’t get into the sugar nectar. It’s very well made of polymer plastic with a brass hanging hook, a perch ring all the way around the feeder and overflow holes that will keep the nectar from being diluted by rain.
It’s called the HummZinger Mini Excel with 3 ports, 8 oz. capacity for your sugar nectar. It has a Lifetime Guarantee and it’s made in the USA! The HummZinger Mini is a great starter feeder because you use only a small amount of nectar that you won’t worry about it going sour or moldy, so less waste.
We have a really nice selection of unique, decorative hummingbird feeders. Please check out our website at http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com. Our quality and service is tops!

Did you know that over 100 North American bird species supplement their natural diets with birdseed, suet, fruit and nectar obtained from feeders?
Bird feeding can benefit birds and also provides great bird watching from your own backyard. The obvious time to feed birds is in winter when natural food supplies are scarce; however, additional species visit feeders during the spring and fall migrations, and also during summer while nesting.
To keep birds coming back to your feeders in any season provide them with the following three essential elements: a variety of quality seed, fresh water for drinking and bathing and ample cover, such as native plants for nesting and food source.
Keep in mind bird feeders also present potential risks, such as window collisions, predation, and exposure to disease. Following are some topics and tips for safely attracting and feeding birds.
There are a variety of bird feeders to accommodate specific types of birds and their diets. Choosing more than one will help attract more species and avoid feeder congestion.
Ground feeders
These simple screen-bottomed trays typically sit several inches off the ground or your deck and help to keep grain or seeds and bird droppings from coming in contact with each other. Some feeders have covers to keep out snow; others may have wire mesh to keep out squirrels and large birds like crows. Ground feeding tables should be placed in open areas at least 10 feet from the nearest tree or shrub to give birds a chance to flee predators. Doves, juncos, sparrows, towhees, goldfinches and cardinals are all likely to visit ground feeders. Avoid using ground feeders if cats are likely to pounce from nearby shrubs.
Sunflower-seed tube feeders
If you are going to put out just one feeder, this is your best choice. Be sure to select a model with metal ports around the seed dispensers to protect the feeder from nibbling squirrels and house sparrows. Hang the feeder at least five feet off the ground and try to position it near a window where you can enjoy the visitors, which are likely to include chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, goldfinches, siskins and purple and house finches.
Suet feeder
Suet is popular with titmice, chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers. Wrens, creepers and warblers will also occasionally peck at suet. While you can hang suet chunks in a mesh onion bag, you can also purchase cage feeders. Some people like to make their own suet “puddings” by grinding the suet and adding seeds, and create homemade suet feeders by packing the mixture into the crevices of large pine cones. Suet feeders can be hung from trees, from poles near other feeders, or from a wire stretched between trees. Avoid feeding suet when temperatures rise into the 80-degree range, as it can turn rancid.
Hopper feeders
Hopper feeders keep several pounds of mixed seed dry and ready for hungry birds. Birds hopping on the feeder trigger the release of seeds. Hopper feeders should be positioned on a pole about five feet off the ground and will draw all the species that tube feeders attract, along with larger birds like jays, grackles, red-winged blackbirds and cardinals.
Thistle (nyjer) feeder
Especially designed to dispense thistle (nyjer) seed, these feeders have tiny holes that make the seed available only to small-beaked finches such as goldfinches, redpolls and pine siskins. Hang your thistle feeder from a tree or place it on a five-foot pole near other feeders. Squirrel baffles will help to protect the feeder.

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.
Please come and visit and checkout our large selection of handmade Amish Wind Chimes handcrafted by a local Amish Gentleman. Each Chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg.Warranty”.

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,

A bird bath is an attraction for many different species of birds to visit gardens, especially during the summer and dry times. Bird baths provide a reliable source of water year round. Birds are attracted to the sight and sound of running water, an important element to bring birds into the garden. The amount of time and effort birds put into bathing indicates how critical feather maintenance may be. Keeping feathers functional requires constant care.
Bird Baths often are the central feature of an overall plan for a garden setting that includes natural nectar and food plants, shrubs, trees, and bird feeders. A bird feeder can complement a bird bath to encourage birds to linger and return. Traditional bird baths can be made from concrete, ceramic, clay and stone. Others are made from other materials, including glass, plastic, metals like copper and aluminum, marble and tile. Some unique, novelty style bird baths can add some charm to your garden. There are some beautiful, decorative designer bird baths that have fountains. Some are solar powered and some are heated for winter use.
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase or your money back. We process orders quickly and ship same day for most orders. Please stop by and visit us at our website http://www.BirdsGone WildOnline.com and see our bird bath designs.

Did you know that Hummingbirds have a very high metabolic rate and require lots of protein? They require energy rich flower nectar and insects. Their bills are long and slender to probe flowers for their nectar or for utilizing feeders which we provide for them in our backyards.
A Hummingbird feeder should be attractive to hummers and easy to clean. Cleaning your hummingbird feeder is important to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Realistically you should clean your hummingbird feeders every three days and replace with fresh nectar.
Only feed your hummingbirds nectar and do not use a sweetener or honey as a substitute for sugar. Also, it is not necessary to add dye or coloring to your nectar since the color of the feeder will attract the hummers to your feeder.
If you are just starting to feed hummers, it would be best to start with a small feeder or a small amount of nectar until the birds start feeding regularly. Then you may need to add a larger feeder so you don’t have to refill so often.
Hummingbird feeders come in many sizes and styles. At http://www.BirdsGoneWildOnline.com we offer a large feeder called the HummZinger Excel which holds 16 oz. of nectar with 6 feeding ports. It is super easy to clean, has an ant-moat and a nice hanging rod. There is a smaller version, called the HummZinger Mini and it holds 8 oz. of nectar with 3 feeding ports. Both are attractive, are made in the USA and have a Lifetime Guarantee!
We want to make your shopping experience easy. We ship all our products the same day or next business day FEDEX. Thank you for your business!

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. With the focus on finances and budgets, you can be sure, this is one item that will fit into anyone budget.

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.

You’ll be amazed at the charm and beauty of the little “Goldfinch” once you put up some feeders and attract this most recognizable bird. The beautiful bright yellow gold color of the males, (females are slightly duller in color) thus the name Goldfinch. Goldfinches are vegetarians in the bird world, as their diet is mostly of thistle and sunflower seeds, and they eat a large portion of these seeds at Bird Feeders. The simplest way to feed thistle seed is by using a Thistle Sack. They are durable, weather resistant of nylon or a metal mesh. Another great finch feeder is a tube feeder or a spiral feeder. These have several ports to accommodate many goldfinches to a feeder at one time. Check out our 36 PORT 3 TUBE FEEDER!!! We can offer you a wide variety of different bird feeders, houses and baths for all your wild bird friends! We are happy to have you visit us at http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com

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.

Did you know that most all wild birds bathe for the same reasons we do? To get Clean! In an effort to remove dirt, plant debris, insects and mites birds love to wash up in water puddles or along creek banks. Why not offer the songbirds in your garden and dip in a beautiful Bird Bath?
Birds preen to align their feathers. They will replace their flight feathers once a year, usually in the fall and some into the winter. If offered a heated bird bath they will most likely take you up on a dip like in a Jacuzzi! Also, birds need fresh water the same as we do, so a bird bath, with fresh clean water is an excellent attractant to keep them near your garden and yard!
If you are in love with songbirds and would love to bring their beauty into your home, check out our Bird Stained Glass Suncatchers. They are handmade of real colored glass and will not fade or tarnish. They will make any window in your home beautiful! We are happy to have you browse our website http://www.BirdsGoneWildOnline.com and the quality products that we carry. We appreciate your business!

The Purple Martin is a valuable backyard bird. Did you know that a Purple Martin can eat thousands of mosquitoes in one day? They eat loads of insects like flies, dragonflies, moths and mosquitoes as they fly around. They were well prized by the Native Americans for their beauty, grace and control of annoying insects, like mosquitoes. For that reason they offered the Martins houses in the form of hollowed out gourds.
The Purple Martin is dependent on humans for their shelter. You can attract Purple Martins to your yard by putting up a Martin House. There are a variety of Martin houses to choose from, wooden cedar, aluminum and even plastic gourds! The Martins migrate up from the south in the spring, most likely, returning to the same place year after year.
Just mount your Martin House 15 to 20 feet above the ground within 100 feet or so from human habitat (they seem to like humans!) and close to a water source such as a Bird Bath. Martins will use grass, leaves, mud or straw for nesting material.

Wild bird species are so unique! Did you know that the male bluebird goes out and finds the potential nesting site for his mate? He then “struts his stuff” in order to gain the interest of a female. He’ll sing and flap his wings and place some nesting material into the nesting cavity. If she accepts him and his nesting site, she will build the nest, lay her eggs and incubate them herself.
Bluebirds can produce up to four broods from spring to summer. They have some natural predators such as snakes, cats and raccoons, as well as other birds including the crow, starlings and sparrows. Check out our BLUEBIRD HOUSES for a nesting cavity in your yard and garden, so you can enjoy watching these unique birds and give them a safe haven to reassure their reproduction success.
Bluebirds feed naturally by dropping to the ground for insects or perch in fruit trees to eat berries. They are attracted to platform BLUEBIRD FEEDERS filled with mealworms, grubs, raisins and suets. You can find some Bluebird Food Delicacies’ there too!
We strive to give you selections to help you attract the many wild birds into your yard and garden. Please stop by http://www.birdsgonewildonline.com often. We appreciate your shopping with us!

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. Visit http://www.BBQandFirePitPros.com, with our complete commitment to customer service, we will answer your questions and find a barbecue smoker that is right for you.

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

Portable Ice Makers Make Outdoor Parties Better
An outdoor or patio party isn’t always enjoyable for the host. The host has to keep walking inside the house to get more supplies for the party. This leaves less time to socialize with the guests that are outside. The solution is to keep as many supplies as possible outside, minimizing the number of trips to the inside. Virtually any supply can be kept outside, but one item is a challenge for most homeowners—ice. Ice makers are usually unmovable devices that are found inside the home. Many people don’t know about portable ice makers. These devices can be kept outside during a party. Simply add water and you can have ice in minutes. Visit http://www.portablecomforts.com for a list of portable ice makers for purchase. This website has good customer service, offers free shipping, and often has the lowest price.

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.

Versatile medium sized barbecue grills are hard to find. You can find many that are good for grilling burgers and hot dogs, and you can find some that are also good for slow cook barbecue roasting. However, it is hard to find one that is good for grilling, slow cook barbequing, and is also easy to use as a bbq smoker.
To find a truly versatile barbeque grill that fits easily on a modest deck or patio you need to look at the Brinkmann Barrel Grill and Smoker. It has features that are usually only found on larger, more expensive grills that make it great for bbq grilling, slow cook barbeque, and smoking food. Brinkmann BBQ Grills and Smokers are known for their quality materials and workmanship.
At the ‘Pros, we have a large variety quality barbecue grills and smokers, outdoor fire pits, outdoor cookers, and camp stoves. With the best competitive prices and customer service, you will find what you need at http://www.BBQandFirePitPros.com.

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
As usual, our Free Shipping to the Continental United State policies apply, - No Minimum Order Required - Hope to see ya there at http//www.teakhomegarden.com

The snow is coming down fast outside, from my family room window it looks like a winter wonder land. The snow birds are back, along with the woodpeckers and the pair of cardinals that always spend the winders with us. I have found the greatest birdhouses and bird feeders that are easy to maintain and clean for all my feathered friends. I think that’s why they stay, they are well feed and have warm homes.

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. As usual, other benefits include our Free Shipping of all products within the Continental United States (no minimum order required), a full two-year residential warranty, and of course, unsurpassed, top-quality, customer service with any questions you may have considering your potential order.

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.
Why not come and visit us and see our large selection of Aluminum Wind Chimes and very unique Wooden garden planters that are handmade by a local Amish Craftsman. Each wind chime comes with a “Lifetime Mfg.Warranty”.

You don’t need to have both a barbecue grill for outdoor cooking and separate bbq smoker to cook your favorite smoked foods. If you like to cook meals on the grill and would like to create your own smoked meats and other foods at home then you should get a combination BBQ grill and smoker pit.
The Brinkmann 810-3040-W 40″ Smoke’N Pit with side mounted firebox is a great BBQ grill and smoker combo.
Heavy duty construction to last for many years and easy to use with fully adjustable charcoal grates, air vent, and smokestack damper to control your grilling and smoking temperatures. Treat yourself and your family and friends to some great tasting food with this multi function BBQ grill and smoker pit.
We have many attractive, high quality BBQ grill and smoker combos. From portable units for camping, tailgating, and picnicking to the larger models big enough to grill steaks and burgers for the entire family get together or to smoke up to 50 pounds of meat in one batch. At http://www.BBQandFirePitPros.com all of our products are guaranteed and customer service is our #1 priority.

Our weather was in the 40’s today, all I could think of was getting outside to start “spring cleaning” my flower beds. I have found some of the neatest decor items that will add a touch of class to any garden. Also barn stars for the house and garage. There is even baskets to start organizing the inside as well!

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.

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.

It is time to protect your outdoor fire pits and barbeque grills from the winter weather.

You also want to protect your investment and keep it looking like new for years to come.

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 would like to show your love for your family in a significant way, and NO gift could be more significant than an elegant, exquisite, beautiful teak furniture set/item that your family can enjoy for decades to come. Normally, you would not be considering outdoor patio furniture at this time of year, but maybe you should.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
A popular way to enjoy the backyard or an outdoor get together on those cool fall afternoon game days and support your favorite college at the same time is with a collegiate logo fire pit by Patina Products. An outdoor fire pit is a safe and convenient way to provide warmth and light for your get together. With the dancing fire light and shadows they make a great center piece for any kind of outdoor entertaining.

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/

Tuned wind chimes are also wonderful additions to any meditation sessions you may perform. They allow you to lose yourself in the meditative process by simply focusing only on the sounds they are producing.

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.

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.

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. With all it’s powerful enzymes, BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost has also prevented the odors that sometimes accompany compost. It doesn’t mask the odor, but actually digests it.
Check our website for a variety of tumbling composters, paying particular attention to the Jora models for year round composting. And don’t forget to order some BiOWiSH™ Compost Boost for your own compost piles for faster, better smelling, 100% organic compost for your garden. Happy Composting!

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!
