Plants have the power to give peace and shade. Green leaf color or flowers and fruit make every blink of the eye becomes so valuable. Yes, the existence of these being has tremendous benefits, provided that coupled with good care and regular. That way, the plant would provide shade, oxygen, flowers, fruits, and other freshness. With a “reward” that is, a lot of people love and need the plant. Some say that love is not meant to have. But for the “creature” this one, you must have and put it in a residential neighborhood so that the impression can be reduced hard-scape construction.Various types of plants can be planted in container pots, good plants fruit, flowers, let alone a mere leaf. However, when choosing a pot, the pot size must be considered to be sufficient to grow crops and do not give the impression unbalanced (too big or too small). In addition, materials should also be noted the pot. Should choose a strong material and is not easily cracked if you want the plants continue to flourish. Materials can be selected pot was made of clay, plastic, cement, or old tires, Depending on the taste of a plant.
About laying pots, should be aligned or grouped based on plant height. Thus, the plant will look neat and beautiful. To plant flowers such as roses, jasmine and orchid, select a pot that fit the size. Not so great, but it must be adapted to the size of the flowers. Therefore, the size of the pot is too large will reduce the beauty of flowers and create the impression that is not matched.
Not unlike flowers, pot size for fruit crops should also be adapted to large plants. Pot size depends on the growth of plants. If a large tree, the diameter of the pot should be up to one meter. For example the water guava grown large diameter pot can be one to two meters. However, if the plants continue to grow into a growing, changing with the larger pots or bonsai techniques can be done. Trimming a choice because in addition to more compact fruit trees, also stimulates rapid fruiting plants.
Regarding fruit plants, the most common size and cheap media is a former barrel of oil. Way, the barrel is split in two, so high that had barrel so short, about one or two segments. Pot of these barrels will look sturdy and strong. In addition to potted plants placed in the bottom, there are potted plants hanging from the pole or pergola. For this hanging plants, keep in mind the rope that is used to prevent the collapse of the pot because the rope not hold the load. In addition to the power cord, power cord belt must also be considered.
All said, most seeds and saplings are fairly inexpensive in of themselves, but when assessing the cost of a plant it is important to also take into account all the additional costs associated with keeping the plant alive and thriving later in its life. That is, for example, how much will you have to spend on special fertilizers, containers, or pest control agents through the life of the plant? Some plants are extremely tough and low maintenance so obviously the overall cost of growing these plants will be much less than extremely sensitive high maintenance ones. However, the basic seeds and the like should not cost very much regardless, unless you are trying to grow some very exotic and unusual plants, which may be the case for some flower or herb gardeners.
Assuming your garden is more for aesthetics, like a flower or herb garden, the cost really comes down to what precisely you want to grow and whether or not your local climate and soil conditions are appropriate for your chosen plants. Obviously if your local soil and climate are not correct for the types of plants you want to grow, the costs associated with growing them will be much higher as you will have to compensate for the inappropriate environment. Large soil transplants, greenhouses, and other related measures can easily run up into the thousands of dollars. Instead, if you are looking to grow flowers or herbs, it is much less expensive if you choose plants that are designed for your climate and soil.
Much the same can be said about vegetable gardening, although in this case there are usually a lot more diversity and alternative options. Today you can find many alternative variations of most common vegetables that have been bred to survive in climates other than their original one. Similarly you can find variations designed to perform better in naturally hostile soils. Depending on the vegetables you want to grow and the environmental conditions prevailing where you want to grow them (where your garden is), vegetable gardens can be extremely inexpensive or the opposite.
In the open water splashing sound caused by flowing water or pouring non-stop from the top, falling down and flying into a river. Of course, this natural way is not economical if applied at home. So anyone working in through a pond.
What are the basic principles you need to know, before making a swimming pool?
1. Size
Size 1 m² is enough to make the water fall / fountain, spurting water even waterfalls. So that makes the sound, the distance between the fountain and pond water surface at least 1-1.5 m, with a pool depth of 15-40 cm.
2. Water Pump 3. Bath Filter Without the filter, the pump will often jammed because of the dust particles from decaying leaves of water plants, food remnants, and the fish waste will be trapped in the pump. Unfortunately, the pump stuck in a long time tend to be damaged by heat engines. Present at the Rumah Sizes and prices vary enough. From small to put on the table until a stand-alone and requires an area + 0.75 m². This tool is equipped with a pump, so you only need to pour water container according to the available capacity, plug the power cord to the switch and start enjoying the rhythm of splashing water.
Increasing the pump function of the pond to the point or position has been prepared, and then dropped him from the law of gravity. The faster the water flows, the water splashes and bubbles that happen. Sooner or later the actual water flow can be regulated. More important is the planned altitude.
Clean pool pump caused to function optimally and durable. If you put water plants-even in the container / pot-and a few small fish, should be prepared as a filter / filter.
The sound of water can also be presented in the house on the initiative of a few craftsmen natural stone (sandstone). Splashing water devices available in stores or shops of building materials interior equipment.

Creating the garden should not be long. If it’s not carefully planned, it will only create a bush and littering the landscape. A park was created in order to bring the beauty. Whether or not a beautiful garden of the election determined softscape and hardscape materials, color composition and shape, and overall harmony of design.
Some of the planning process is often ignored because it seems trivial, but actually very decisive beauty of the park later. Following points should be observed, so that the park is actually created in accordance with our expectations.
Two key things to prepare is preparing garden designs or concepts and technical preparation. Preparation is the design engineering design drawings in accordance with the concept of garden design desired.
This design will serve as guidelines for subsequent plans. To create this design, should consider some technical work to be done to make the park. The following is description.
Preparing Land
These activities include excavation work and the reversal of land, hilling, and provision of fertilizers or addition of nutrients in the soil. In addition to prepare land for crops planted and ready to have the appropriate contours of our expectations, this process also frees the land from weeds that will interfere with future plant growth.
This process is often overlooked because often we do not wait to get or directly to plant so that the results are often disappointing: the plants die and do not grow well because of disturbed weeds.
Creating Garden Construction
In this process of planning and making the path taken. This element is important for the circulation path in the park so that all activities undertaken in the park do not interfere with future sustainability of the growth of plants and other elements. In accordance with the extent of the park, design and materials, the path can be made in a variety of options.
Defining Elements Hardware Park (Hardscape)
Which is includes the hardware elements of the park are various pots, rocks, lights, and other accessories that will be used as a complement the park, both functional and aesthetic role.
Elements of Software Park (Softscape)
Various types of plants, the choice are planned in this process. It is considered a matter of plant species (shrubs, bushes, and protector). About colors (flowers and leaves) jugs into something that must be considered because it determines the splendor of the park is created and harmonization of existing colors.
The character of each plant concerned: the speed of growth, canopy shape, resilience in responding to the weather (Hot sun and rain / water), determine the choice of plant species that will be used.
Planting and Positioning of Hardscape
Crop planting starts from the protective plants (high) and so is the lower plants to plant ground cover. The spread of coral stone, gravel, stone step, and installation of garden lighting and other accessories made after planting.
The spread of coral preceded by the laying of the fibers in coral surface will be given to maintain the water circulation in order to continue to seep into the ground from the park was flooded.
Land Cleanup
Cleanup activities to the rest of the garden work. After the park clean of trash, there was a sufficient watering. And then performed routine maintenance such as pruning and regular watering.

I’ll not bother caring, just planting artificial grass. It’s look too fresh in our eyes. Grass can be grown inside or outside the room. Take a look at the park in this photo. At first glance, you would not believe that green grass is not real grass. This park is using artificial grass. Type and material similar to that used on the grass futsal fields.
This park architect, Sucandra HW, from EN-Gedi, saying that although artificial, grass green is not less than the original. Another advantage of using artificial grass, he continued, is practical and easy to clean. To clean the dried leaves are falling; just use broom fibers, or a broom used in the house. Use a little water to wash away the stain of land or other dirt.
Artificial grass can not be directly mounted on the ground. Sucandra explain, to put it, the land must first coat with cement. After the cement dried, then mounted the grass. Artificial grass is usually shaped like a sheet of carpet. To “planted” needed glue and bolts. Glue to glue the middle of the grass. The bolts to glue the edges and corners of grass. Do not forget, make the water drain (floor drain) on the cement floor before it was closed grass yes.
There are advantages, there are also shortcomings. Artificial grass, continued Sucandra, can not last long, maximum use of just two years. After that, the replacement must be done. To buy it, you can contact the supplier artificial grass. However, it’s advisable to contact expert installations. Interested?
