    place with his roses, and he always dried and ground both egg shells, and banana peels, and add them both to his grounds for his rose bushes and several other plants. I do it, and mine are spectacular also. He would when going fishing, keep the scales, skins, and heads and bury those around his roses, and other flowers to feed the soil.

  • You can back-brush the second coat for a smoother texture.
  • The deck almost looks like composite now. Rust-Oleum has lots of different colors to choose from, and we selected "Saddle".

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.

Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.

  • Window treatments provide a great opportunity to add color, texture and pattern to your room.
  • Whether you're sewing the curtains yourself or buying them, you want a drape that is well constructed.  

Flimsy curtains detract from a room.
  • Decide ahead of time if you want the drapes to puddle or  stop just short of the floor.
