Garden Groom Cuts, Shreds and Collects. Given ‘Best Buy’ status by Garden Answers in a recent test of electric hedge trimmers, the award-winning Garden Groom makes hedge cutting easier, quicker and safer than ever before. This lightweight trimmer not only cuts and shapes but also collects the waste so there’s no laborious sweeping up. Moreover, it simultaneously shreds the clippings, reducing them to 10% of their bulk – ideal for mulch or composting. For safety, the blade is fully enclosed, virtually eliminating risk of cutting the cable or personal injury. The 300W mains hedge cutter comes complete with a 10m cable, and also includes a FREE volume collection bag that holds 10 times more than the on board container, significantly reducing the frequency of emptying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>Nearly every lawn could use a lawn aerator. A lawn aerator is a tool that will help turn the soil and create holes in the top portion of the soil. It is that simple! When the soil is broken up and holes are created, the soil can then get water and air to the appropriate roots to help grass and plants grow and stay healthy. Earthworms will also be able to get into the soil to help fertilize the soil with much ease.</p>
<p>The soil often becomes compacted due to various human activities such as when the soil is being walked on, played on, driven on or anything else done on it. Unfortunately, when this happens, it slowly begins to suffocate the grass and eventually kills it. Your lawn problem may not be due to insects or anything else. It could just be that the soil has become too compacted and the grass can not get any water and earthworms can not get the air to breath. This is when a lawn aerator can help fix all of your problems. </p>
<p>Use your lawn aerator regularly, such as in the autumn and spring. Do not use your lawn aerator on dry soil; use it only when it is damp. Do not use your lawn aerator when the soil is deeply waterlogged or extremely dry. </p>
<p>Use your lawn aerator on a regular basis and whenever it is needed. Use it properly and you will have rich, fresh grass and plants growing on your lawn. It will be as beautiful as it can be. This is especially important if you plan to create a garden, plant flowers or anything else. Earthworms, water and oxygen will all help to keep your garden, plants and flowers to stay healthy and grow to their fullest potential. </p>
<p>Use your lawn aerator just before planting your seeds, no matter what type of plant, flower or food you might be planting. This will help tremendously during the growth process. Earthworms need to get into the soil and help your crops grow. Air and water needs to get into the roots of your plants to help them grow and survive. </p>
<p>A lawn aerator can help you create a beautiful flower bed, grow your own crops for eating, and even grow plants. If you have a business in this area, a lawn aerator will become your best friend for keeping your gardens healthy. You will be able to grow and sell even more plants than you ever imagined. </p>
<p>Even if gardening is just a hobby of yours, an aerator is vital to your plants. Create a beautiful landscape in your own yard with a lawn aerator. Just imagine what you can do with your lawn. By aerating your soil, your grass will grow and become more dense and look so healthy that your neighbors will be asking you what your secret is. </p>
<p>You can keep it a secret if you would like, but you know that it was just using a simple garden tool, your new lawn aerator. This tool can mean the difference between having grass on your lawn or not. It can mean the difference between planting and growing beautiful plants and crops, or helplessly watching them try to grow and die.</p></p>

<p>A garden adds beauty to the surroundings with its colorful treasure of trees, plants, flowers, butterflies, fruits and more. Gardening is an infinitely pleasurable exercise and a hobby for some. If you have enough space to plant herbs or small plants, it becomes your garden. So, it is not a tough task, even if you do not have the experience. Here is a gardening tip for amateurs - start small instead of overdoing things at your first shot. </p>
<p>Gardens tend to have a soothing effect on our minds. You can just sit or lie on your back on the lawn you mowed or in your garden to relax and unwind. The garden should not only look good, but should also be in a place easily visible to everyone. Here is a gardening tip - Build your garden in front of the house. It not only adds to the beauty of the place but also creates a delightful impression on people entering your house. </p>
<p>Basics Of Gardening</p>
<p>The first important gardening tip is to learn the basics of gardening. Most people are very taken in with the idea of creating a garden but you need to know the basics before taking the plunge. One would start dreaming about flowers, fruits and vegetables all over the place even before beginning to build the garden. Which plants to grow, where to plant it, how to do it, and when to do it are common confusion areas for novices. </p>
<p>Selecting The Right Place</p>
<p>Another important gardening tip is to choose the right location for your garden. You should get a great view of the chosen place from inside your house. Now that the problem of where to garden has been dealt with, you have to think of what to plant. If you want to grow any particular plant, you should first check out whether the climatic and other conditions are conducive to its growth. If you live in a place that is hot, then make sure you do no plant in areas exposed to afternoon sun, which is hotter and drier than the morning sun. Also, ensure that the chosen place is not directly exposed to heavy, dry winds. </p>
<p>Selecting The Plants</p>
<p>After the location is finalized, the next gardening tip for you is - choose the right plants. Select appropriate plants in accordance with the environmental conditions in your area. You can grow roses or vegetables - it is up to you. Herbs are ideal for any place as their growth can be controlled, if there is not enough space. </p>
<p>Common Problems</p>
<p>Lastly, here is an important gardening tip for you on tackling the common problems. If your garden is attractive, you can expect unwanted visitors like pests, insects, animals, children to cause damage to your plants. You should be careful and safeguard your garden. You cannot keep watch 24 x 7. However, while you water your plants, make sure that you check for changes in the color, or if insects have damaged the stems, leaves, or the plant itself. </p>
<p>You should also prune the extra growth of the plants so that they are not only healthy but also serve their purpose. </p>
<p>With a helpful gardening tip or two, your green thumb, care and attention, you too can create a beautiful garden at home.</p></p>

<p>Here are the major reasons why one should consider getting a pair of trusty gardening gloves:</p>
<p>Gloves protect your hands from blisters, thorns and cuts while doing rough work like digging or pruning in the garden. Investing in one or more pairs of quality gloves is a good decision. </p>
<p>Here are some tips on how to choose the pair that will suit you best:<br />
1. Look for quality leather gloves with a cloth back; this will let the gloves breathe and keep your hands dry, cool and comfortable. </p>
<p>2. If mud bothers you, select rubber gloves with cotton lining. </p>
<p>3. When spraying pesticides or chemicals choose gloves that are made from neoprene. Gloves made from latex or any type of plastic may not offer the best protection.</p>
<p>4. When pruning roses, use gloves that reach up to the arms. </p>
<p>5. If you usually operate large garden machinery, buy gloves in brown instead of red as the latter may dye your hands. </p>
<p>6. Light cotton or even fingerless gloves may be useful for transplanting seedlings. They will allow more dexterity and so help to prevent the tiny roots from being crushed.</p>
<p>7. And of course, make sure that the gloves you buy actually fit your hands. If you have small hands, try the children&#8217;s gardening section. there&#8217;s nothing worse than trying to garden is gloves that are too big.</p>
<p>Your gloves must be comfortable as well as give protection to best serve your gardening needs.</p></p>

<p>Every one who is at heart a gardener loves to potter about the garden with at least one of their gardening supplies in hand. For every gardener the list of gardening supplies varies. There are however a few gardening supplies that are staples for every gardener.</p>
<p>For digging a shovel is the most important tool in your gardening supply list. With a shovel you can dig trees and shrubs up. Perennials can also be transplanted with the aid of your shovel. A spade is another item that works well in gardening supply list. A spade will allow you to work in small areas like a well established garden. Another type of spade that you can use in your supply list is that of the spading fork. This tool will let you dig into hard soil and open the ground up for planting.</p>
<p>For cultivating the ground a hoe is a vital tool. The hoe will dig those hard to get weeds out for you. While a mattock on the other hand will let you dig around trees and shrubbery. Both of these are essential gardening supply items.</p>
<p>For prying rocks out of your garden, be they big or medium sized, a prying bar is very good. This gardening tool will let you get those rocks out of your newly tilled bed without straining your back.</p>
<p>Backaches can be part of your gardening routine if you&#8217;re lugging mulch, compost or even dirt around in your garden. The answer to this is to have a wheelbarrow in your gardening supply. You must however get a wheel barrow that will do the job well or you will be picking up that dirt from the ground.</p>
<p>In particular gardening gloves are the most important item that a gardener can possess. The process of choosing the right glove can be a little difficult especially if you are new to gardening.<br />
For creating beautiful fertile gardens good quality mulch, nutrient added compost and good dirt or soil is something that every garden needs. To give vegetables and herbs that added zing you should spread the mulch and the compost around the base of plants. This is of course where your wheel barrow garden cart comes in handy.</p>
<p>With all these tools at your disposal you might think that your gardening supply is complete. There is one more item that you need to add as it is very important. That is a watering system for your garden. You can use long nozzled watering cans to give your delicate seedlings a gentle flow of water, or you can use a garden hose where you adjust the nozzle head to give different settings allows you to water just about anything and anybody.</p>
<p>As you can see having a gardening supply that is varied will let you choose the right tool for your gardening needs. These items do not have to be of the expensive variety, they should just last for quite a long time, longer even than your perennials! </p></p>

<p>An important idea in all design work is the idea of unifying space by using elements that manage to tie things together. This can be done in many ways, for instance, lining a path and framing your planters with the same cheerful primroses or creating a similar edging with decorative stones or ornamental grasses. The major idea here is that you want your garden to work as a cohesive aesthetic space, that is, as a single visually pleasing work of art. The individual pieces should work in the same ways as the various elements of a painting.</p>
<p>Choosing an actual theme for your garden can help you to narrow down number of choices you&#8217;ll have to examine as you plan it. There are many kinds of themes that can be used to help you mentally organize your garden ranging from whimsical to literary depending on what you want out of your garden.</p>
<p>One way of selecting a theme is by starting with any negative conditions that might hinder your garden growth. You&#8217;ll be happiest if you create a garden that is perfect for your climate and your needs. If your garden is going to be in a harsh climate with a short growing season, make sure you choose a theme that will make your garden attractive during the cooler seasons as well.</p>
<p>Rock gardens and zen gardens can be created with some fairly hearty shrubs and a few pieces of garden statuary that won&#8217;t be damaged by winter weather. As you plan a garden that relies primarily on stone and statuary, remember to pay as much attention to the spaces created around your objects as to the objects themselves. Textured backgrounds, like gravel and sand, become part of this kind of design and must be carefully considered to compliment the other textures and shapes of your design. Textured objects like this wood fountain (<a href="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no" title="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no">http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=294</a>) invoke the presence of nature (and provide contrast and even color) in a garden that seems too plain. The most attractive gardens of this kind create a sparse, clean and incredibly serene landscape. Every element must be placed with conscious regard to every other element.</p>
<p>There are many other kinds of themes that you can work with in your garden. A striking and interesting garden can be created by using just one flower color. These monochromatic gardens are interesting because, as in a zen garden, similarities draw attention to differences making texture, height and spacing increasingly important. Different textures treat colors in different ways so be sure to choose flowers that bloom in similar hues of your color of choice. If you choose a single-colored theme, add interest by planting a few vegetables in the right hue.</p>
<p>If you are trying to be certain that you will have something usable (perhaps edible) think of the kinds of vegetables that will grow best and be most useful to you and see if you can create a theme around it. The French kitchen garden has been a long-time standard in residential gardens, and recently pizza gardens have found popularity in many areas.</p>
<p>A pizza garden grows as many little elements that any pizza maker could want, from a variety of tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic for sauce, spinach, squash or artichoke toppings to basils and oregano and thyme for seasoning. Many of these are created in circles and designed in angled slices. A pizza garden is an excellent garden to grow and tend to with children and will provide you with an excellent array of fresh herbs.</p>
<p>Other edible themes include growing a collection of flavorful herbs for creating herbal teas. One might try creating a garden with the species and delights mentioned in the texts of a famous author. An herb garden can also be the solution to tight space and poor soil. Many herbs grow excellently in planters like this homey basket like planter <a href="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no" title="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no">http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=751</a> or this graceful urn-like planter <a href="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no" title="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no">http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=771</a>.</p>
<p>Various plantings are able to attract different creatures. The most common of these themes is the butterfly/bird garden. The cheerful behaviors of butterflies are often a pleasure to watch and it is quite easy to draw the creatures near. They simply love bright flowers and are easily pleased by a few basic modifications to most gardens. Flowers from the warm side of the color spectrum (red, orange, yellow) and vivid pinks and purples will help attract butterflies, especially if placed in a very sunny spot. Take a look at some reference material to find out what kinds of butterflies are natural to your area and what kinds of plants to which they are most attracted. Butterflies also appreciate a bit of water so a bird bath like these <a href="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Categories.bok?category" title="http://www.garden-fountains.com/Categories.bok?category">http://www.garden-fountains.com/Categories.bok?category=Bird+Baths</a> will work well. Remember not to use pesticides in a butterfly garden.</p>
<p>Most importantly, your garden theme should please you and reflect a bit of the personality that you bring to your garden. Themes are a great way to experiment with growing and can have interesting results. Not everything comes out as planned so be flexible and be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the area you are gardening.</p></p>
