Tips for Creating a Gardening Wall in Your Garage

If you are planning on having a garden during the spring and summer months, why not use your garage as a storage location. Many use their garages to store lots of junk that they no longer need to use. Instead of letting items pile up, why not create a gardening wall in your garage. This is really very simple to do.

Organize All Your Garden Tools

The first things you will want to do are clean out the garage and organize all of the items. The best way to do this is to take all of the items out of the garage and then place them back into the garage in an organized fashion. Set up one wall to hold all of your gardening supplies. I would recommend that you visit your local Home Depot Store, and purchase some hooks. Hang up a nice amount of hooks so that you can store your supplies this way. This will give you more floor space for the larger items such as the planting soil, and additional supplies.

 

Put Your Garden Design Drawing on the Wall

Another item which you can add to your gardening wall is a diagram or picture of what you want your garden to look like. Some usually find pictures inside of a magazine and will use this as your guide. You can also draw your own sketch and use this. Having a drawing or general idea of how you want your garden to look is certainly a good idea. Hang this up in the center of your gardening wall. It can be the main focal point of the wall.

Add A Work Surface

A small desk for the area near your gardening wall is also a good idea. If you don’t like the idea of a table which will take up more space, then why not instead put up a simple shelf. You can purchase a long shelf that will run the entire length of the gardening wall. Be sure that when you install it, you make sure that it is secure. This is the perfect area to place all of your seeds, and your pots as well. Basically anything that can not be hung up should be placed on this shelf. I would recommend that you first draw a sketch of how you want your garden wall to be. This will help to keep everything neat and organized when you are ready to get started. Remember that you don’t want to go overboard but instead do your best to keep things as simple as possible.

How to Give Your Bathroom a Deep Clean in 15-minute Segments

Bathrooms can be a haven of relaxation, however if mildew is growing, counters are overflowing, and hair and dust balls line the floor, the idea of lingering in this room is not appealing. Even if the idea of a clean bathroom is appealing, the idea of a three or four-hour cleaning regiment might not be the motivation needed to complete the bathroom’s spring clean. Instead of trying to complete the cleaning project in one day, spread the chore over several days in 15-minute segments.   Daily Bathroom Cleaning Schedule The first day Clean out any drawers, cabinets, or closets in the bathroom area. Usually items are found that are unnecessary, outdated, or no longer used. Throw away or recycle any material, products, or linens that fit one of these categories. The second day Take items off of the countertop and decide what should be kept, thrown out, or recycled. Try to store most items in the drawers, cabinets, or closet in order to eliminate the clutter. If it is too ...

Chives – Allium schoenoprasum

Known as common garden chives, Allium schoenoprasum, can be grown indoors and out. Chives are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and calcium. They are grown for the flavour of their leaves, which is reminiscent of onion, although much milder. Both the stems and light purple flowers are used in cooking and the snipped leaves are an addition to many dishes. Chives lose their flavour with long cooking so it is best to add them to dishes at the last minute. For chopping stems, a pair of scissors is the best tool. Chives can be frozen or dried. They are less flavourful when dried rather that frozen, so they are best used when fresh and snipped, or snipped and frozen. In both cases sort them carefully, removing any yellowing leaves and shoots, and keep only the plump green ones. It is possible to place chives in non-iodized salt, keep them there for several weeks, remove the leaves, and then bottle the ‘chive salt’ for use in flavouring. Chives are a perennial in the garden and grow app...

Landscape Ideas to Save Energy

One should be aware that plants properly placed in our landscapes can save both energy and dollars. As you plan your landscape or add to an existing landscape, consider locating plants where they will save energy and money. Windbreaks have long been used on farms to help divert wind and control conditions. Even in the home landscape, a small planting to divert the wind can be beneficial. Evergreen plants placed to the north or northwest of a home to break the prevailing wind can reduce heat loss and fuel consumption. Where adequate space is available, several rows of trees may be used. However, in a limited area only a few are still helpful, although less effective. Where adequate space is available, the ends of a windbreak should extend 50 feet to each side of the area to be protected. A windbreak is effective for eight times its height, so even before the plants become as high as your house they will provide beneficial effects. Pines can be used for windbreaks, but because they ten...
