People
are passionate about ponds. Perhaps it's the quiet laziness that
surrounds them, like a minivacation waiting in the backyard. Perhaps
it's the shimmering surface reflecting a glorious world of sky, flowers,
and foliage.

Landscaping 101
The landscape of a home is as important in
expressing the "personality" of its owners as the home itself.
More importantly, a good landscape will provide recreation,
privacy, and pleasure to the owners. This starter course is
ideal for anyone -- whether you just want to improve one corner
of the yard, or you want to add some flowerbeds or a tree or
shrub here and there, or you're starting from scratch with a
bare lot and need to learn how to start, plan, and finish an
entire landscape.
Edible Landscaping
Your entire family will love this course! It will
take you from the planning stages to the harvesting nutrient
rich foods. It will teach you how to turn your 'Brown Thumb To
Green'. Learning to recognize the guidelines of your property,
so you will know which plants will succeed in your area. Find
out what your family and their needs really are, know if you can
successfully plant those in your area, then learn how to
increase your yields. It is organic based so you get three
fields included. Organics, gardening and landscaping. |

Landscaping With Bulbs
There are numerous places around most American homes
where bulbs will add a delightful display in the springtime: by patios,
in rock gardens and beds, along paths or driveways.
Retaining
walls solve all kinds of problems if you're blessed (or cursed) with a
contoured lot. You can use them to transform that hill you dread mowing
into a low-maintenance terraced garden.
An
improper grade can direct water toward, rather than away from, the
foundation of the house and can cause water to seep through basement
walls. To remedy the problem, you'll need to regrade the soil so that it
has a gradual slope away from the house of about 3/4 inch per horizontal
foot.
Retaining
walls are a great way to create a more useful, beautiful, and sometimes
safer landscape around your home.

A
fence can provide several things: privacy, a weather barrier,
containment for children or pets, protection from intruders, or merely
decoration. Deciding which is most important to you will lead you to
what type of fence you should build.
You
can get your trees and shrubs in three different forms, and there are
different planting methods for each.
Good
grass is important, but it is only one element in a beautiful lawn.
Grass can be enhanced by attractive trees, shrubs, flowers, etc.
Although trees and shrubs are hearty plants, they must be planted
correctly to survive.
