			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.flowergardeningnow.com/wp-content/uploads/01310576982_3pcstools.jpg" alt="01310576982_3pcstools.jpg" />Garden tools are very helpful in getting the work done efficiently; it makes the work easier to be completed. Without the garden tools you have to use some other method of how you want the job done. Garden tools are inseparable from gardens, and yet, while the history of gardens has been exhaustively explored, the story of garden tools has been virtually ignored Garden tools are a gardener&#8217;s best friend (besides his garden, of course). Garden tools can do more than just help a gardener weed his garden. Garden tools are needed by a gardener for his practice of growing and maintaining plants and trees. A gardener needs a wide variety of tools. Garden tools are any tool that can be used in the practice of gardening such as a shovel, hoe, pruner, and trowel even something as big as a tractor or a combine for farming fields. Which is related to the practices of agriculture and horticulture? Garden tools are as necessary for a gardener as hammers and nails are for a carpenter. Make sure that you have the right garden tools. Garden tools are commonly exposed to water and wet plants and dirt. It may take tools a long time to dry inside a shed or garage, so keep an old towel by where you put your tools away and give them a quick wipe down each time you put them away. Garden tools are simply essential to larger gardening endeavors. A garden&#8217;s life is fragile and must be taken care of properly. You should always harvest your crops before the fall&#8217;s frost comes in the late fall. A lot of people make the mistake of not taking the frost seriously. If the days&#8217; high can reach in the 60&#8242;s (Fahrenheit) then its possible for frost to accumulate during the early morning. Water does freeze at 32 degree&#8217;s but frost can occur at 40 degrees. Gardening magazines will give you lots of innovative ideas about things you can do to maintain your gardening tools. Things like putting your long handled tools into a capped plastic pipe filled with linseed oil or storing your digging tools head down in a bucket of sand that&#8217;s had a quart of old motor oil poured in. Gardening is one of the favorite pastimes among people across the globe and everybody has an opinion about how to do it the right way. Weeds are a gardener&#8217;s nightmare and can really spoil your enjoyment of you garden. A gardener&#8217;s dream is to have a lush, green lawn and neat, colorful borders all free from weeds. Weeding trowels are used for weeding in cracks or placing bulbs between pavers. They are provided with carbon steel large blade for quicker gardening results. Weed twisters also fall into this classification. Other terms often used for weed pullers are weeding tools, weed tools, weed diggers, weed knives, weed up rooter tools, weed pulling tools, weed puller tools, crabgrass tools and various combinations of these and similar terms. Weeds are far easier to control in the early stages of development. If the weeds do get a strong foothold, they will grow extremely deep roots that make it very hard to control and remove. Weeds are also a matter of perspective. Bermuda grass is a great turf grass, but it is considered a weed if it invades your flowerbed or mixes with your prized St. Weeds is divided into three classes. Class A Weeds are ones which are not yet widespread in patches but could have serious impacts if they became established. Article by Andre B<br />

Heating systems, air conditioners, and water heaters should be inspected once a year. Touch up painting, gutter cleaning, and deck and driveway power washing should also be performed at least once per year.<br />
A general rule of thumb is that air conditioning and heating filters should be these checked and replaced during the spring and fall. Most indoor filters need to be replaced once a month. Check your vents to the duct work making sure they are clear of any debris and dust. Check and make sure the outdoor unit is clear and free from debris. Also make sure the condenser fins are not damaged ant the every thing is properly lubricated. If you live in an area where there are winter snows, this should be done in the fall, and the outside unit should always be securely covered before the first snow falls. </p>

<p>                    More homeowners are looking to wind energy as an alternative power source. But will a home windmill have that much of an effect on your electricity bill? How to Prepare Yourself to Save &#8211; Lower Your Energy Costs in Your Apartment Or Home Today</p>
<p>                    If you have recently received an energy bill lately and it is higher than it ever has been before, it may be time for you to start saving a little bit of energy every place you can. Some changes may cost some up front money, while others you can implement immediately. Also if you are planning on moving into a new home or apartment there are some things you can look for which will alleviate your energy costs.Belts and pulley checked for tightness, and any areas that can be oiled by you should be. Always turn of the power before attempting any regular maintenance checks, and read your owner&#8217;s manual first.<br />
Refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines should be pulled out from the wall once a year. You can clean under the unit and check for any leaks, frayed wires, and any other visible damage. Carefully clean around coils and vent openings. Make sure that the dryer exhaust duct is clean, because a clogged duct can make your dryer work harder, and take more energy to dry your clothes. It is also a good idea to run a special cleaning agent through both your clothes washer, as well as you dishwasher, especially if you live in areas that have hard water. These cleaning agents are designed to break down deposits that have built up, and make your appliances run more efficiently.<br />
There are many maintenance procedures you can perform yourself but some things should be left to professionals.<br />
 For most people it easier and less expensive in the long run to contact a reputable appliance service technician and get on an annual inspection program. A service call can save you hundreds of dollars because a qualified technician will leave you with a safe and more efficient appliance. Qualified service repair people have specialized tools and test equipment that allow them to do a more thorough inspection. They can detect small issues before they become large unserviceable disasters. The also have the knowledge to check parts and systems that you don&#8217;t have access to.<br />
Even with all of these maintenance steps, there are going to be times when your appliances break down. If you don&#8217;t already have it, you should consider appliance insurance. This is not the same as homeowner&#8217;s insurance. It covers repairs and replacement to your major appliances through normal wear and tear, or even emergencies. Homeowner&#8217;s insurance only covers them if they are damages in direct result to a fire or flood, and whatever else you have coverage for, not general repairs.</p>

 It is best to opt for home repair service providers and builders who take charge of the annual repair and maintenance.<br />
Generally, it is best to avoid certain things that may lead to severe home repair costs. Firstly, never assign any task of home improvement to an outsider as you are breaking the laws. Hiring professional help for technical home improvements such as wiring, plumbing, roof repairing, gas lines, etc. Even the electric geysers or fireplace should not be repaired solely. Never tie-up with contractors outside the working contract as it may be considered invalid. Check with your home providers regarding the insurance details of home repair.

One way to get your home repair costs under control is by asking for some help. There are such things as federal or government grants that you maybe able to apply for if you are in sincere need for home repair or improvement.<br />
Home repair grant is one of the common problems faced by all homeowners. No one can skip or ignore any home repair as it leads to more crucial problems. But, as everyone cannot immediately arrange the finance required for home repair costs or do not have their home insurance and home finance in order, many times things get postponed and eventually results in paying more.

If you do not have enough home finance on hand, you can take a home repair grant for your home repairs as it is one of the ideal ways of home improvement for those in need.<br />
Even now, many people are ignorant about the fact that federal grants are available for home repair and money is given to people who need it. The federal assistance is provided regardless of any economic status. All you have to provide is clear details of not having home finance and submitting the specifications of your home improvement requirements. Once approved by the federal grant, you will receive the required home grant so that you can do whatever repairs you need for your home. You can find the repair federal assistance by contacting your local government offices. You can contact them and acquire details of the various repair grants available and the requirements to qualify for them. They do not demand anything seriously, but for the evidence that you lack funds and you are in dire need of it. Occasionally, you have to provide a quotation stating how much money you need.<br />
The quotation should be from a home improvement company that has government recognition. This quotation will ensure the government regarding the home grant, and it will also comprehend how the home finance for your repairs will be used. Grants are issued with proper scrutiny because these amounts are non-refundable. Being non-refundable grants, there is a wide scope for getting misused. The only desire of the government is that it ensures that the money is used as intended, to cover your repair costs, before it awards the home repair grant.<br />
There are government home improvement loan schemes that help you with home projects that cannot wait any longer. You can avail various details through internet by searching the local government for repair grant and repair costs. People who qualify can surely get their grants sanctioned and moreover this money can be given gradually to enjoy your novel home without damaging your bank account. The process for home repair grant is identical to what you would do for a car or a home loan. The loans are available with lesser interest rate. However, you should look for best interest rates and try to get the best deal as there is an abundance of options available. Therefore reducing your out of pocket repair costs and having a considerable helping hand from the governments home grant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.flowergardeningnow.com/wp-content/uploads/21310576776_img-7810.jpg" alt="f_21310577418_workphotos372.jpg" />Patio furniture is often the &#8216;afterthought&#8217; in a patio design. Ideally, however, your design plans should incorporate basic ideas about patio furniture. A well-coordinated look is possible only if the patio itself, the patio awning or canopy, and the patio furniture complement one another.</p>
<p>You have a diverse range of choices available. One of the most popular is cast aluminum patio furniture. As long as you steer clear of tubular framing, these furniture pieces are extremely functional on a patio. In spite of being fairly lightweight and easy to move about, solid cast aluminum chairs are sturdy enough to withstand the wind and weather to a large extent.</p>
<p>In contrast to wrought iron sets, cast aluminum patio furniture won&#8217;t rust. It is preferable to buy furniture with welded joints. If bolts are used, they should be stainless steel or aluminum. A solidly crafted aluminum chair, that is powder coated, will withstand years of weather extremes, and family fun.</p>
<p>Just make sure that you follow the maintenance instructions to the letter, or you may find that you have voided your warranty! Usually all your aluminum patio furniture asks for, is to be spruced up with a bit of water, to which a gentle detergent has been added. This if often followed by a light coating of car wax as a sealant.</p>
<p>The Telescope Sling Collection is an example of aluminum patio furniture, with styles to suit any patio design.</p>
<p>Wood patio furniture is a popular choice, because of the warm atmosphere it creates. Western Red Cedar is frequently used, because of its well-known weatherproof properties. As the wood isn&#8217;t prone to warping or cracking, it is highly usable outdoors.</p>
<p>Cedar is oil-rich, an important factor as far as wood preservation is concerned. It also has an inbuilt insect repellant! A Cedar set has a richness, which can be further enhanced with your choice of fabric for the patio furniture cushions.</p>
<p>Another category you may consider, is plastic and resin patio furniture, such as the Kettler Outdoor Furniture range. A wide variety of chairs, chaise lounge designs, and tables are available. Resin patio furniture is superbly suitable for outdoor use, because of its weather-resistant characteristics.</p>
<p>Resin has the ability to go with the flow, so to speak. It expands and contracts with changing weather conditions, and doesn&#8217;t fade. The Kettler range of patio furniture use a double-injection molding process, which adds to its quality and explains why these pieces have such a long life.</p>
<p>If your patio design guides you to choose a Sunbrella Awning, you have the perfect partner for your patio furniture. Sunbrella fabrics are well-tested for outdoor use. Creating a perfectly coordinated look is painless, with such a classy range to choose from.</p>
<p>Your patio furniture cushions, decked in Sunbrella&#8217;s fashionable fabrics, will be unlikely to fade or stain. Your patio is there to add to your quality of life, and to facilitate effortless entertaining. Every aspect of it should therefore be easy to maintain. By choosing Sunbrella fabrics, you choose carefree patio living.</p>
<p>Your extra living &#8216;room&#8217;, has to be comfortable and relaxing. Your choice of patio furniture is important enough to justify careful deliberation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.flowergardeningnow.com/wp-content/uploads/11310576775_267e6173-orig.jpg" alt="f_11310577725_2.jpg" />There is immense satisfaction in creating your own garden plan &#8212; the satisfaction derived from relaxing or entertaining in the garden as well as the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. The effort that you expend in planning and executing a design unique to you will add to the enjoyment your garden provides for years to come.</p>
<p>How do you begin to create a garden space that is unique to you? Here are ten simple steps that will help you move effortlessly through the process.</p>
<p>1. Identify WHY you want a garden.</p>
<p>How will you use it? Who else will enjoy the garden? Remember that you may not be the sole inhabitant, so get input from all family members on how your outdoor space will be used.</p>
<p>2. Do a little dreaming.</p>
<p>Now that you know why you want a garden and how you intend to use it, let your imagination play with all the possible features in your special space. A little dreaming will uncover those attributes that will put your personal imprint on the garden.</p>
<p>Also decide whether you want a formal or an informal garden. Formal gardens are highly structured, divided by a strong central axis and cross axes. Informal gardens have a more natural look with strong, flowing curves.</p>
<p>3. Make a list of &#8220;must haves&#8221;.</p>
<p>What items are essential? Listing your needs up front ensures that your final plan won&#8217;t be missing anything important. Do you need a retaining wall? A privacy fence? A path to the garage? More parking space? Do children need a place to play? What about pets?</p>
<p>Walk around your property and make note of everything that is essential. Your final design should balance dream features and &#8220;must haves&#8221; to create a satisfying and functional space.</p>
<p>4. Evaluate what you already have.</p>
<p>To get where you are going, it helps to know your starting point. Is your space large or small? Is the site flat or sloping? What is the climate? What type of soil do you have? How much water is available and from what sources? What are the predominate views?</p>
<p>5. Ballpark your budget.</p>
<p>Once you know what you want and what you need, it&#8217;s time to consider what you are willing to spend. This dollar figure will influence what features you include in the final garden plan &#8212; trees, plants, hardscape materials and architectural elements such as arbors, fountains, ponds and benches.</p>
<p>Remember that your &#8220;budget&#8221; comprises two elements: money and TIME. In terms of time, does the garden need to be finished by a certain date or can you create it over time? (Speed costs!) Also, how much time are you willing to budget to maintain your dream garden? Can you spare several hours a week or are you lucky enough to afford a caretaker?</p>
<p>As you develop and refine your plan, you may need to balance time and cash costs. Be flexible. You may need to spend more time if you can&#8217;t spend more money and vice versa.</p>
<p>6. Identify your garden&#8217;s focal points.</p>
<p>Every garden needs an eye-catching spot that causes you to pause a moment. When you choose a focal point, you are choosing the direction you want visitors to look when they enter your garden. Did your list of &#8220;wants&#8221; include a waterfall or fountain? An arbor retreat? A blossoming apple tree? If so, you are well on your way to identifying a focal point &#8212; or points &#8212; for your garden.</p>
<p>7. Create a rough design.</p>
<p>Take all the information that you&#8217;ve gathered and incorporate it into a workable design that balances the &#8220;wants&#8221; with the &#8220;must haves&#8221;. Your goal is to create a space that is both satisfying and functional.</p>
<p>Buy a pad of graph paper that contains 8 or 10 squares per inch and let each square equal one foot. (In other words, every inch on the paper will equate to 8 or 10 feet on your property.) Create a basic map with your property lines and house drawn to scale.</p>
<p>You will also need tracing paper, markers, a tape measure, a ruler, a pencil and a good eraser. Lay the tracing paper over your basic scaled map. Then refer back to your list of &#8220;must haves&#8221; and &#8220;wants&#8221; as you sketch the various areas of your garden. Show the approximate position of focal points, activity areas (&#8220;rooms&#8221;) and pathways. Use as many sheets of tracing paper as necessary until you find a layout that pleases you and meets the goal that you identified in Step 1.</p>
<p>8. Choose your plants and hardscape.</p>
<p>The colors and materials that you choose will create the character of your garden, adding interest, movement and visual appeal. Do you want harmonious colors or strong contrast? Warm hues or cool tones? Bold colors or soft hues? Mixing different colors and materials and textures will give your garden a strong sense of space.</p>
<p>Plants comprise a significant part of your garden. In addition to plants, hardscape materials contribute variety and texture &#8212; wood arbors, brick borders, gravel paths, bronze statuary, and wrought-iron benches.</p>
<p>As you review your preliminary layout, consider the best material for each of the hardscape elements. Keep in mind that each element needs to fit with and compliment the whole. For example, a terrace constructed of the same material as the house unifies while railroad ties around a formal garden create discord.</p>
<p>9. Make a scale drawing.</p>
<p>Thus far, you have created a basic map of property lines and your house as well as an overlay sheet that shows focal points, &#8220;rooms&#8221; and pathways. You also have a list of the trees, shrubs and plants for each area of your garden. Now you need to create a scale drawing that shows EXACTLY where each feature will go. You will use this blueprint to lay the walkways, set the arbors and trellises, and plant the trees, shrubs and flowers.</p>
<p>It is important that you have enough information to help you create in reality the garden that you just designed on paper. As long as your scale drawing or blueprint is in sufficient scale to accomplish that purpose, you will be successful.</p>
<p>10. Execute your plan.</p>
<p>Before you begin actual construction of the garden, check all local building codes and regulations to make sure that you will be in compliance. Structures such as decks, patios and retaining walls may require a permit from the local city government. Once all permits are in place, you can start to lay out the garden.</p>
<p>With your scale drawing as a blueprint, use a tape measure to position all structures, walkways and plants. Be sure to measure accurately so each element in your design fits its assigned space.</p>
<p>If designing a garden space sounds a bit intimidating, don&#8217;t panic. Just follow these steps one by one and let a space unfold that feels right to you. You CAN do it. After all, a successful garden is just another room of your house, which you&#8217;ve already successfully decorated!</p>

Here are 10 easy ways to decorate your outdoor space with light without breaking the budget. </p>
<p>1) Illuminate driveways, paths, stairs, pool decks, and dark corners with paper bag lanterns made from tealights and brown paper lunch bags. Place few rocks inside each lantern as anchors. </p>
<p>2) Make a small investment in easy-to-install solar path lighting. There is no wiring of any kind and the light fixture can be moved around as needed (around $30 each).</p>
<p>3) Place citronella candles and tiki torches around seating areas to deter insects. Make sure they are not too close to the food, as the smell can overpower flavors.</p>
<p>4) Lace decorative paper Chinese lanterns, or inexpensive multi-colored, themed, or bright white sting lights through railings, patio umbrellas, and pergolas.</p>
<p>5) Place candles, tea-lights, votives or fabric lanterns on buffet tables and bars. Remember to keep candles in a safe container or candle holder.</p>
<p>6) Float candles in bird baths, pools or ponds. Floating solar lights are also available.</p>
<p>7) Create dance floor by hanging mini-disco ball from a tree branch and pointing a spotlight at it.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.flowergardeningnow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Use retro lava lamps and fiber-optic domes or globes for themed lighting that&#8217;s funky and fun.</p>
<p>9) Fill mason jars with about five centimeters of sand, then drop in a tea light for a safe but pretty light that won&#8217;t go out in a breeze. Place a row along the side of a path and on each stair.</p>
<p>10) Adorn flea market or thrift store chandeliers holding tea lights and hang from an overhead support or canopy.</p>
