When a person waters a garden, theyre trying to mimic rainfall. Plants have evolved over thousands of millions of years to collect rainwater in one way or another, channelling it towards a thirsty root system where the nutrients in it can be sucked up into stems and leaves.

Having a fence around your garden is important if you are interested in keeping animals out, a little privacy, and ultimately the protection of your garden. You put all the work into it. So, protect it with a fence. But, fences need to be supported by posts. Depending on what you want your fencing to accomplish will determine the correct type of post you will need to support the fence you want.Starting with durability and strength, metal fencing posts cannot be beat. They are very strong and long lasting. They come usually in lengths of 5 to 10 feet, and you can even get them in longer sections if you have a large garden and don't want to deal with more pieces by getting shorter lengths. These posts don't just come in steel, they come in aluminum as well. Aluminum is very strong and durable, and is very weather resistant. Aluminum lasts long and does not rust easily. This makes them a great choice for those who have gardens near the ocean since salt water does rust steel, but not aluminum.Wooden garden posts are probably the most common fencing post.

When lighting your exterior try and think logically and start at the entrance. Do you need to indicate to drivers where the entrance is? It can be quite difficult at night time to locate the drive way. You could have two bollards either side or lights on top of a pillar. If you have nice stone pillars, which you would like to high light, you could have lights shining onto the stone. Always be careful not to use any outside lighting that will interfere with road users as this can be dangerous.Continue then into the garden. Is there an impressive tree you would like to light up? Maybe you have a drive way of yew trees; it is a nice idea to light each one individually. Think of the shape and size of the tree when positioning your light and experiment with different positions before fixing your light permanently. Also consider the type of tree you are lighting when determining the colour of your lamp, a cool colour works best with pine and cedar to show off the natural silver in the wood and leaves. A warmer colour works better with oak and beech. Most of the lighting in your garden should be near the house to help create outside living areas with maybe one or two other points of...more
