A Head Start For A Spring Garden

by Jenny Daggit Posted on March 13, 2014

Gardening is a popular pastime for a number of reasons. A lot of people enjoy being outdoors, working with their hands, creating works of art, and eating fresh, delicious vegetables. While it’s just a simple distraction for some, some others put a lot of care and effort into making their garden beautiful and productive. Either way, it’s important to know the basic techniques that gardeners employ.

Growing Organically: Organic gardening has grown in popularity considerably in the last couple of decades. This style requires a lot of natural fertilizers, forgoing chemical-based fertilizers, and it often results in tastier, more nutritious produce. Growing plants organically yourself is easier than you might think, even if you don’t have a lot of gardening experience. Raised beds are easy to build and fairly cheap to buy, and provide an ideal growing area that you can fill with compost and organic soil. As Gardening 101 dictates, the plants will need lots of sunlight, so be sure to place it in an area that stays well-lit for long periods.

Flower Gardening: Vibrant greens are beautiful, but a garden can be even prettier if you use colorful flowers to add accents. Even if you don’t want to dedicate a patch of land to growing flowers, a window box is always an option. You can fill them with good soil and plant an assortment of flower types to add various hues and textures. Certain types, such as geraniums and impatiens, excel in the environment of a window box. Types that grow from bulbs are another good choice, adding fragrance and effect. Some types sprout every spring. Daffodils and Hyacinths are very common choices from this group.

Edible Herbs: An especially good choice for those who love to cook, herbs are simple to grow. There are many familiar cooking herbs that are well-suited to gardens, including rosemary and oregano. They generally contain more flavor when they’re flowering, and it is easiest to pick them at peak freshness when you grow them yourself. They can be easily dehydrated for long-term storage and be used over a period of time to season meals. Most herbs thrive in both gardens and small containers. Certain ones should not be left outdoors during colder seasons, but will continue to grow for years if cared for properly.

While it can take some hard work and dedication, growing a garden is enjoyable to a wide range of people. In addition to spending time enjoying nature and creating a beautiful landscape, you also get to enjoy the fruits of your labor (pun intended) when you eat fresh produce and food seasoned with home-grown herbs. While there is no denying the work and dedication needed to have a successful garden, it might be a more attainable goal than many would think.

These helpful gardening tips come from the people at Stepping Stone, a community of new homes in Parker CO. Life is about forging your own path. Connecting one amazing experience to another, like stepping stones, until they form a direction that is entirely, uniquely your own.

Wooden Windows Possess A Number Of Benefits

by Andrew Brentford Posted on March 26, 2013

There are a few things that homeowners should learn when thinking about window replacements. There are several advantages to replacing old frames with wooden windows. For years, the number one choice for home window construction and replacement has been wood. The wood frame is constructed of fir, cypress, pine, cedar, redwood, and mahogany. A wood window will improve the homes value, is more energy efficient, can be painted the color the siding, and they do not develop condensation as aluminum will.

Folks can select the material they want the frames to be made from as well as a variety of styles that will enhance the appearance of the home. Since wood frames are very energy efficient they save homeowners quite a bit of money on monthly utility bills. The wood frame is great during the winter or summer months and is often the first choice when changing a homes interior design.

For most people buying a home is the biggest investment they will make. Because it is such a big purchase folks want everything to be perfect right down to the color. When using sash windows it is easy to match them to the siding color on the house. Using wood frames allows homeowners to paint the exterior of the house any color they want.

When a homeowner makes improvements to the home the value and appeal improves. Also, the homes integrity is preserved when improvements are made. Wood frames are quite durable and not likely to crack and break which will lower the expense of maintaining and repairing. Wood frames are perfect for recycling, echo friendly, and very cost efficient.

Once the right contractor is found that can install frames using custom manufacturing, it is a good idea to find out if they handle restorations. You may choose to restore and repair the existing window frames to their original condition. It is less expensive to repair the frames instead of replacing them. Make sure to select the company that considers the environmental effects of the materials they use. Choose the contractor that uses echo friendly materials.

Usually the wooden frames are constructed from natural and renewable materials. These frames resist condensation when they are triple and double glazed. Installing a higher quality window increases the likelihood it will be around for over a century. It should be noted that this is possible only when well maintained regularly with finish or fresh paint.

Although the aluminum frame may be recyclable and less expensive than wood, it is not a good choice if you are looking for energy efficient windows. Fiberglass is stronger and more costly, and offers some ecological concern. Aluminum and fiberglass develop condensation and thought to be second rate materials for windows.

Many people have a budget that does not allow for replacing all windows in the home. An alternative is to purchase salvaged frames which are very economical. It is best to avoid very old wooden windows because they are very often painted with lead paint and are less energy efficient.

While hunting for the best wooden windows, London homeowners should check for services online. You can learn more about The Wooden Window Workshop at http://www.sashwindowrepairs-london.co.uk/restoration-of-sash-windows.html today.
