Keep Your Large Garden Fountains Tidy
It is important to carefully maintain water fountains for them to perform optimally. It is important to clean it out and remove any debris or foreign elements that might have dropped into or onto it. On top of that, algae can be a problem, because sunshine hitting the water allows it to form quickly. To avoid this, there are some simple ingredients that can be added into the water, such as vinegar, sea salt, or hydrogen peroxide. Some people opt for adding bleach into the water, but the problem is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided. A thorough cleaning every 3-4 months is recommended for garden fountains. The first step is to empty out all the water. When you have done this, wash inside the water reservoir with a mild detergent. A good tip is to use a toothbrush if there are small hard-to-reach spots. Be sure to completely rinse the inside of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.
It is highly advised taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. To make it less challenging, soak it in vinegar for a while before cleaning. Build-up can be a big problem, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to eliminate this dilemma.
One final tip for keeping your fountain in top working order is to check the water level every day and make sure it is full. If the water level slides below the pump’s intake level, it can damage the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!

Anglo-Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxons experienced extraordinary adjustments to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. The skill of the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons' in design and farming at the time of the conquest. Nonetheless the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration.
Castles were more standard designs and often erected on blustery hills, where their people spent both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were considerable stone buildings, mostly situated in the widest, most fertile hollows. The serene method of gardening was not viable in these dreary bastions. The purest specimen of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent today is Berkeley Castle. It is said that the keep was developed during William the Conqueror's time. As a method of deterring assailants from tunneling underneath the walls, an immense terrace encompasses the building.
