I’ve got a big yard (almost two acres of grass) and I’m looking for a new riding mower. I’ve heard these new zero turn lawn mowers are the way to go, but they seem to be a bit more expensive. Are they really that much better? I don’t have any particularly difficult spots to cut – the yard is pretty much a big rectangle – so I’m not worried about getting into tight corners or anything like that. I’m also not sure how natural it will feel to drive one of these, when the back wheels do the steering. Any advice for me here?

French intensive gardening is also known as biodynamic gardening.  It is a technique first used in france to utilize small garden spaces with higher production.  Although biodynamic is geared toward producing larger amounts of vegetables in smaller spaces it works very well for flower gardens as well.  These garden plots are raised mounds about 5 feet wide.  the soil is worked to a depth of 2 feet and turned with 1/3 dry compost 1/3 wet compost and 1/3 soil.  This loose soil allows for fantastic root growth and the natural compost makes for healthy plants.  The plants are put close together so  that the mature foliage will cover all the soil and help prevent weed growth.  This provides 8 to 10 times more plants per area than traditional gardens. 

I just had a really long talk with my construction crew. It was a very good idea, I really needed to know their thoughts on Excavator Machines. I asked them what they thought we needed and I got some really good ideas. I was surprised to find out that they think that we can go with Compact Excavators instead of full sized, that will save me some money. They were divided over the brands, but in the end the consensus was that we wouldn’t go wrong with a John Deere Excavator. That was how I was leaning anyway, so I am going to go ahead and make the purchase.

There is no bigger sense of pride than taking care of ones home and showing it off to friends. When they pull up to the curb to visit, the first thing they will see is the yard. After you get the lawn all green and lush and nicely mowed and after you get the garden blooming and trimmed back, the next thing you may want to consider is some yard decor. Decorations in the yard are becoming more and more popular and are a great way to express your individuality. From lawn ornaments, to bird baths, to hummingbird feeders, and on and on, you can get serious about the decorations you use. If you are ready to move pass the ho hum life of just a green lawn, its time to add some decorations.
