I don't know what the laws are regarding hose pipe usage in America, but in England for almost all of the year I get away with having an electric timer sitting below my tap like this which simply opens a valve for five minutes once or twice a day to water the garden automatically. I keep a section of regular garden hose running from it above my most delicate plants, and I've blocked the other end of the tube and simply punched a number of holes into it above the plant area using a thumb tack. takes the daily hassle out of watering your potted plants and is very easily upgraded to have multiple pipes running all over your yard, which can even be dug in slightly below the surface in beds and is far cheaper than spending loads of on on fancy sprinklers for a small garden. edit: first timer had terrible reviews anaemic fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Mar 1, 2009 |

ho mercy posted:Upon closer investigation, it looks like what I thought were previously crystals were actually extremely tiny purple-colored nymphs of some sort of insect. Very odd, though hopefully that means it'll be easier to deal with. Its Thrip season, at least in the UK.

I was not even aware such a website existed  Right now im half way through regrowing my lawn, the old one was bumpy and mossy and terrible, and currently its all dead but digging it over is proving to be a massive job, might have to rent some sort of machinery to do the job.

I keep dandelions out of my garden with fire. Every day when I'm doing my rounds in the garden, ill just flick out a lighter and set fire to any seed heads that I see, which keeps them pretty controlled. Plus its surprisingly pretty and soothing.

My garden in London is experiencing its lowest snail and slug population for years. I've still lost a lupin and had some sage damage, but in a normal year I can pick up any pot in the garden and you wont be able to see the terracotta for snails.
