 Why
do some gardens "work", while others simply look jumbled, boring,
or undistinguished? The answer is "advanced planning"--but that
can be hard to believe, since so many appealing gardens have
a natural look that seems to deny the existence of an underlying
plan. So, get out your gardening gloves.
Taking care of your lawn is as important as taking care of your
house. The most neglected area of landscape maintenance is proper
watering of trees and shrubs. Many plants are more prone to
insect and disease attacks if they are stressed by lack of water.
Watering your lawn is no assurance that adequate water is reaching
the roots of your trees. To water trees and shrubs properly,
you need to use the trickle irrigation technique. Place a hose
near the base of the tree or shrub and let the water run at
a trickle for a few minutes. This method allows water to penetrate
the soil more efficiently. Do this patiently for some days and
watch your garden wear a beautiful, smiling look!
