The home and garden TV shows and online articles are all about
techniques and suggestions on how to create beautiful homes and gardens.
Most homemakers watch these programs avidly to gather tips that help
decorate their homes. Many online writers also give you systematic
instructions and clear guidelines on money-saving ideas for better home
and gardens. Investing in a designer is expensive and if you have a good
eye and flair for design, go ahead and take up the challenge. You can
join a group or newsletter online and ask for advice.
Visualize what your home and garden could look like
This
is an important and useful home and garden tip. Imagine what it will
look like when the trees, shrubs and plants that you have planted reach
their ultimate size. When you change the position of doors and windows,
make sure the view that meets your eye is pleasant to behold. When
converting a bedroom to a bathroom, properly align windows and doors and
counter check if the flooring and walls can withstand upheaval and
plumbing. Convert an unused porch or study to a solarium. This job
requires professional expertise and help. Whatever project you
undertake, make sure you provide for all seasons.
Spring cleaning does not have to be in Spring
Rake
off that snow mold from your lawns and start getting ready to let your
garden grow. Remove all old twigs, branches and lawn waste and check if
the soil is dry and crumbly. If it is sodden, one has to wait awhile.
Consider a garden trellis this spring as a useful home and garden
decoration. Use attractive climbers to intertwine the trellis and give
character to your garden. It is time to bring out the garden furniture
and give it a fresh coat of paint or polish. Birdbaths need to be
cleaned and fresh water used. Bring out those Water fountains and
statues kept in cold storage out for airing. Clean out Window boxes and
hanging baskets and pack them with soil and mulch in readiness for
planting.
Read instructions carefully before choosing your garden plants
Garden
supplies are available in many home stores. All plants and seedlings
come with tags, which provide useful advice on how to care for plants,
whether they are seasonal, or not, how much sunlight and water is
required for tending, etc. Buy books, which teach you useful home and
garden decorating tips that make it easier for you to plan your garden.
Make sure you adorn the pathways and driveways tastefully. Create a
little landscaping in one area of your home. You can also have a
vegetable patch in your backyard. Keep an eye out for those pesky bugs
and wild animals that can destroy your garden. Use pesticides and
herbicides regularly
