  • Leaves and Composting
    When it comes to leaves and composting the thing to remember is that they are the main things that you should have in your composting heap or bin. This is because leaves are very high in carbon. The ratio of carbon to nitrogen in your composting heap or bin should be 25 to 1 in favor of the leaves. Other carbon rich materials such as wood chips and sawdust can also be mixed in there but only if the wood chips and sawdust is from an organic source. Gardening experts say that you should avoid fertilizing your garden with sawdust made from very old tree stumps as they contain some viruses that could kill plants like hostas. You should also avoid using woodchips that have been varnished or treated with pesticides in any way, as they will also leach toxins into your soil. Furthermore wood that has been treated or varnished often won’t degrade and you will end up tossing it out of the compost heap anyway.
  • How To Make Compost

  • Purple Martin Bird Houses
    Purple martin birdhouses are very charming multi-level dwellings that are designed especially for these winged communal dwellers. Usually situated at the top of a tall solo pole, the design of purple martin birdhouses often resembles condominiums or villas. They are much more airy and open than other types of birdhouses which are designed to accommodate "cavity dwellers" which is what a single family of birds is called. Even though they look Mediterranean, the design of the purple martin bird houses is actually a result of form following function rather than an actual deliberate imitation of Latin architectural styles.

  • Feeding Wild Birds
    Feeding wild birds can be quite an eclectic practice. This is wild birds have different food preferences. Some eat bugs while others prefer seeds or tomatoes. Other wild birds such as hummingbirds prefer to suck up sugar water. To make feeding wild birds even more complicated their diet can change from season to season. For instance some birds may eat insects for most of the year but then switch to berries in the winter when there are less creepy crawlies around.
  • Different Types of Composters
    There are basically two types of composters. One type is a static freestanding type of composter and the other is the kind that rotates like a wheel barrel to kind of churn the waste material into a swiftly degrading mixture. Of course these are just the two types of composters that you can buy commercially. You can also make your own composter.
