Planting the right trees in the right place

‘The right tree in the right place’ is a phrase worth remembering.  Think of it like this:  A Maserati may be the perfect car for cruising down a road in the Italian countryside; however, you wouldn’t haul mulch in one.  Similarly, an old pickup may be just right to keep on the farm, but its 5 mpg fuel appetite would make it a drain on the wallet for long commutes.

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind“, was Neil Armstrong’s first words when he reached the spectacular achievement of landing on the moon. Well, I have a quote that “you” can incorporate into your home - “One small change at home, one huge impact in life.” 

It is so remarkable how simple changes within the home can make a dramatic difference in how you feel.

Take for example a bookcase; how you display the books within a bookcase can make a huge impact on how the bookcase visually feels - cluttered, organized mess, stylish, conservative, fun, clueless, even scary.

There are a number of reasons why a lawn succeeds or not. In dry climates, the most crucial factor is irrigation.

There are many factors contributing to the success or otherwise of a lawn. A main cause leading to failure is a compacted soil, which lacks oxygen in the root zone, and does not allow for the adequate infiltration of water. Other vital factors include a correct mowing regime, a suitable feeding programme, and periodic de-thatching. Adequate moisture though is the single most important question as to whether a grass will succeed or not.
