This next couple of months is a good time to check up on the drainage of your yard. Whenever you have a patch of lawn, shrub planting, evergreen planting, or garden that has water standing on it, it may show the need of installing drainage pipes to carry this excess moisture off to a lower level.
Four-inch plastic pipes set 12 to 15 inches from the soil surface to the top of the pipe with the lines 25 to 30 feet apart, will do a wonderful job of draining surplus moisture. You need a drop of only one inch to each hundred feet of tile line. Also to be more green consider collecting the water run off and reusing it to irrigate the landscape later on.
If you have no lower place to drain to then you will have to put in a sump hole two or three feet deep and install a sump pump to pump the water some place where it can run off.

For a home owner, the purchase of a lawn mower can be quite expensive which makes it important to maintain properly. If a lawn mower is maintained properly, it can last many years or even decades and will run well during that time. However, if a lawn mower is not maintained properly over time, it will cause the parts to wear out and the lawn mower will need to be replaced in a fairly short amount of time. Also, when not maintained properly, it can cause many frustrating uses.
Below are a few tips to keep in mind that will help to keep your lawn mower running in great condition.
Care After Mowing the Lawn
It is a good idea to clean the lawn mower to prevent accumulation of dirt, which may result in clogging while bagging. Allow the engine to cool down and spray the underside of the deck with water. Removal of accumulated grass around the wheels and blades is also very important. Rotting grass produces acid and favors corrosion. If your machine uses water to cool itself, check the level of the coolant and top off if necessary. Clean the radiator fins with water. If you have a four stroke mower, check the level of the oil and top off if necessary as insufficient oil will lead to engine seizure.

Based from the Greek words for ‘water’ - hydro and ‘to work’ - ponos, hydroponics is derived from terms meaning ‘working with water’. Hydroponics today is no longer a subject of mystery of growing plants in the confines a science laboratory. It has become an established and fast growing part of modern agriculture.
Hydroponics is in fact experiencing a steady development with the modern times. Experts in hydroponics found large range of plants for experimentation and this means a big room for discovery.
As a matter of fact, hydroponics gardening will modify your lifestyle by supplying you with fresh produce and flowers all year round. This is good news for those people wanting fresh produce which are out of the season. A good example is the banana which has trees being raised in the tropics but are now grown hydroponically.
There are actually two popular systems of growing hydroponically in development right now. The first is the NFT system development by Dr Alan Cooper. It involves a system of covered plastic channels with the plants growing through holes in the covers with their roots in the nutrient solution.

The study of our native wild flowers is a most fascinating hobby. It’s now the first week in May. For real thrills, we leave Kansas City about three in the morning and at 6:30 are having breakfast in the Ozarks beside a sparkling, rocky stream, bordered with bluebells and sweet William. Dogwoods are in bloom on the rocky slopes, and look at those birds foot violets - some are bicolors… arent they just about the cutest ever? And shooting stars in pink and white, and yellow… click, click of my digital camera and I have them in natural color pictures to enjoy next winter. Watch closely, you may see a scarlet tanager, a redstart, the big pileated woodpecker or perhaps the little cerulean warbler. Thats real honest to goodness fun.
Many perennials can be successfully grown from seed in your own garden. Save or buy seeds of delphiniums, columbines, dianthus, lupines, gaillardias, pyrethrum, linums, coreopsis, violas and veronicas. The seed may be sown in separate beds or in long rows as vegetables would be planted. It is easier, however, to carry the plants over the winter in beds than in rows. Some of the plants will be large enough to move to a proper location in the flower border this fall, but better results are usually obtained by spring planting.

Gardens can come to life with light and sound using solar garden decor. Advances in miniature solar panels have paved the way for solar fountains, garden decor, outdoor lighting, and a host of other options that compliment a yard both day and night.
A trademark of many gardens and patios is the solar lantern staked into the ground. While one of the first solar lighting products on the market, lanterns still remain popular and are available in an incredible variety of styles and materials. Many sets now come with a single and movable solar panel, which allow for lanterns placed in shadowy areas to still burn brightly at night.
Solar string lights add nighttime festivity and can be placed almost anywhere as long as the solar cell catches the afternoon sun. Styles range from traditional Christmas lights to decorative Chinese lanterns to rope lights.
Adjustable solar landscape lights provide an elegant touch by highlighting trees, statues and walls. Any section of a garden or property that receives afternoon sun is eligible for lighting after dusk, without the need for wiring.

Farmers are turning more to organic crops as the cost of maintaining these crops is much less for the same amount of produce. To do this in your own home garden you must understand some basic principles of organic gardening. It is forbidden to use fertilizers, nutrients or pesticides in organic vegetable gardening. To make it all work, sunlight and water are required, so nature is your friend here. You must provide the ideal area and adequate drainage as these should not be provided artificially.
Leftover food, chipped bark, garden compost, leaf molds and manure should be mixed together using a compost heap and spread throughout your garden so you are not solely relying on sunlight and water to make the crops grow. Manure is sold in stores so you don’t have to scoop this from the toilet, so don’t feel queasy. Also chickens wondering the garden are great so you may wish to invest in a couple. Some people use dead animals or meat products but these should not be put straight into the soil. Yet, left for a couple of weeks in the bin, maggots will soon appear and then it can be put into the garden as fertilizer.
