Your Patio: A Great Spot for a Garden Fountain
Your Patio: A Great Spot for a Garden Fountain A good way to enhance the appearance of your outdoor living area is to add a wall fountain or an exterior garden fountain to your landscaping or garden design. Many current designers and craftsmen have been inspired by historical fountains and water features. As such, the effect of integrating one of these to your home decor binds it to past times. The benefit of having a garden fountain goes beyond its beauty as it also attracts birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it releases into the atmosphere. For example, irritating flying insects are usually discouraged by the birds drawn to the fountain or birdbath.Putting in a wall water feature is your best option for a little backyard because a spouting or cascading fountain occupies too much space. There are two types of fountains to pick from including the freestanding model with a flat back and an attached basin set up against a fence or a wall in your yard, or the wall-mounted, self-contained version which is hung directly on a wall. Be sure to include a fountain mask to an existing wall and a basin to collect the water at the base if you wish to add a fountain to your living area. Since the plumbing and masonry work is extensive to complete this type of job, you should employ a professional to do it rather than try to do it alone.
Short Outline of Herb Gardens
Short Outline of Herb Gardens Countless gardeners are attracted to natural herbs because they can make use of them in so many varied recipes. These plants are easy to grow and have the appeal of instant gratification, as they can be used in soups, marinades, and other recipes. An herb garden is easy to maintain with minimum daily care, and planter gardens and potted herbs can be easily moved inside once autumn frosts begin, making it possible to maintain an herb garden all year long. Since perennial herbal plants don't die easily or require replanting every end of the year, they are a practical (and fun) addition to your garden.
