Every household needs a decent level of storage to function properly. Now, this storage space doesnt necessarily have to be of the large, permanent variety. Sometimes you need that storage to be able to be moved quickly from place to place. This may take the form of smaller storage boxes, flat storage boxes such as those that can be slid under the bed or mobile storage boxes that can be wheeled from one room to the next.Adequate storage is not only required for the indoor uses and thats why it is important to get a good quality garden storage chest. These types of chests may be wooden storage boxes, although a garden chest will inevitably be left out in the weather so if you choose your garden storage to be a wooden box you will have to ensure it is properly protected.The alternative to a wooden storage chest is to buy a plastic storage bin. It is possible to buy these storage containers on wheels so they can be moved around the yard while fully loaded. Most plastic storage containers will last for quite a few years, they are light in weight and they are reasonably durable.

As the garden starts its slow decent into autumn the hues, and colour balance within the borders begin to take on richer, redder and rustic golden tones. It's the time to savour the last seasonal efforts of the plants to complete their yearly cycle before they drift into a gradual decline with the onset of autumn. It's not just the plants that are preparing for the winter slumber. Creatures that hibernate are also preparing for their long sleep, making a den and feeding themselves up for the cold months ahead. Hedgehogs in particular are readying themselves for the winter. If you know you have these delightful creatures in your garden then put out some special hedgehog food to help them fatten up, or a tray of meat based cat food. They will repay you in spring when they feast on the slugs and snails preparing to munch on the fresh spring shoots of your plants. The birds too need fresh water and plenty of high quality food to see them through the next few months. Think about the species of birds that visit your garden and choose a feed tailored to their needs to ensure they get the best possible diet. Again, garden birds play a major part in garden pest control [] Start to tidy the...more
