Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains
Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains An important facet to think about is the size of the outdoor wall fountain in respect to the space in which you are going to mount it. A strong wall is definitely necessary to hold up its overall weight. Areas or walls that are small will require a lightweight fountain. An electric socket near the fountain is needed to power the fountain. There are many different types of fountains, each with their own set of simple, step-by-step directions. The general outdoor wall feature is available in an easy-to-use kit that comes with everything you need and more to properly install it.
The kit will contain a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). If the size is average, the basin can be hidden away among your garden plants. Since outdoor wall fountains require little attention, the only thing left to do is clean it regularly.
Change the water regularly so it is always clean. Rubbish such as branches, leaves or dirt should be cleared away quickly. In addition, your outdoor wall fountain should not be subjected to freezing winter weather conditions. If kept outdoors, your pump could break as a result of freezing water, so bring it inside during the winter. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with the right maintenance and care.
The Impact of the Norman Conquest on Anglo Saxon Landscaping
The Impact of the Norman Conquest on Anglo Saxon Landscaping The introduction of the Normans in the 2nd half of the eleventh century irreparably altered The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle. The talent of the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons' in architecture and agriculture at the time of the conquest. But home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the entire populace.
Monasteries and castles served separate functions, so while monasteries were massive stone structures built in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the people focused on understanding offensive and defensive strategies. Tranquil pursuits such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The finest example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent today is Berkeley Castle. The keep is rumored to have been developed during the time of William the Conqueror. As a strategy of deterring attackers from tunneling under the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been shaped into coarse battlements.
