Solar Becomes Sexy

New Solar technology is bringing the world of solar Garden lighting into the 21 Century with a bang. Solar panel systems have always been criticized as bulky and unattractive. New solar technology is beginning to make such criticisms a thing of the past.
Solar Advancement
While everyone agrees solar energy is a clean, cost-effective energy source, there has always been one problem. The solar panel systems tended to be large and rather bulky. Frankly, they did not add to the beauty of a Garden.
Smart Solar one of the top companies in the Solar lighting industry are coming out in Feb 2007 with there new ranges of Solar Lighting that will make Old solar lighting look very dated indeed.
Not only are These new Panels and batteries extending the life of the light achieved from them but also the quality of the light is much brighter.
Lets look at what we have in the market at the moment Solar Spike lights most are dated and dull if you see what I mean Solar Globes and Solar Lamp Posts all Ok but not very original.
Smart Solar are bringing out a new range of Solar Lighting that will not only surprise you but make you smile at the same time for instance for the children they will have Lady Bird Lights, Mushroom Lights, Star lighting that will turn Shrubs and Bushes into wonder us places at night they have also helped those of us that are banished to the Garden shed with Solar Shed lighting and security lighting all you have to do is screw the lights to the shed and let them charge for a few hours and you have a new security system in your Garden.
In fact the Range of new products goes on an on it is properly best to have a look at these great new lights at http://www.everythingforthegarden.co.uk/ who will be carrying there full range when they come out in Feb.

XERISCAPING

XERISCAPING
"xeri" is from the Greek word "xeros" meaning dry
"scape" means scene or view


Xeriscaping can be referred to as a garden design with very low water requirements. It can involve the use of drought tolerant plants such as cacti, or it might be using ornamental gravel or synthetic turf in place of a traditional home lawn. With water resources becoming more precious in the 21st Century, gardeners are likely to take a much closer look at some level of Xeriscaping in their future garden plans. Some even say the modern approach to South of England landscaping is Xeriscaping!
Advantages of xeriscaping:
Saves time and money
Conserves water resources
Pest and disease problems are minimal
Low maintenance
Low fertilization requirements
Preserves landfill space.

principles of Xeriscaping:
a.Planning and Design - Plan water-wise landscaping using drought tolerant varieties.
b. Smart Turf - Limit the use of turfgrasses with high water demands. Consider planting drought tolerant varieties of grass where needed.
c. Soil Improvements - Add organic matter to improve the water holding capacity of your soil.
Mulching - Mulches mimimize evaporation and help cool the soil.
d. Efficient Irrigation - Drip irrigation can greatly reduce water waste. Water is applied slowly and exactly where it's needed. Installation of these systems is cost effective when compared to e.rising water costs.
f. Maintenance - Keep irrigation systems in good repair and properly adjusted.

Plant Choices for Around The Pool

SWIMMING POOLS
With proper maintenance and safety, a swimming pool can create an enjoyable hub for family activities during the summer months, and year round in the warmer climes. The swimming pool season in the northeastern United States usually extends from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Landscaping around swimming pools should focus on plants that are attractive during the swimming season without causing problems. Potential problems can include bees and deciduous trees that shed their fall foliage into the pool. In woodland settings it's best to maintain a cleared buffer area around the pool to prevent problems with leaves. This may require occasional tree trimming to move an encroaching woods line back from the pool.

PLANT CHOICES FOR AROUND THE POOL
Blue Pacific Juniper makes a nice spreading blue-green ground cover
Colorado Blue Spruce provides height and color without deciduous leaf drop. Needle shed may become a problem in later years, so plant back from the pool surround.
Ornamental grasses help create a casual relaxed feel around the pool area. Cutback in November (in the northeast) to prevent the dead grass blades from blowing around and making a mess.
Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a well behaved evergreen that doesn't require any trimming.
Gold Thread Cypress is an attractive plant foradding some color. Allow it room to grow.
Mugho Pine is a good selection. Shape this evergreen shrub in June when the new growth "candles" are still tender.
Gold Junipers grow fast and add color. Allow room to grow and control size with regular trimming.
Blue Star Junipers are well behaved and stay compact. Most Junipers do best in full sun.

CAUTION: When using fertilizer around a swimming pool, make sure not to get any in the water. Nitrogen in particular can cause serious problems. Also be extremely careful with the use of herbicides around pools since many products can potentially wash or leach into the water. Always read and follow label directions.
