Many people think about garden design only in terms of plant choices. But picking plants is the last and often easiest part of putting a garden together.

When creating a bog garden, think big. Small areas are prone to dry up quickly. If you are building a natural pool to encourage insects and animals, make sure they are able to get in and out easily - incorporate shallow, sloping sides for them to use.
The most important factor when beginning to cultivate your garden is to know your soils texture -- whether it's sand, silt, clay, or something else. Testing the texture is something that every gardener can do at home. To get a general idea of your soil texture, the test you need to perform is quite simple.
Compost is great for enriching and improving texture and aiding drainage, but another effective way to add organic matter to the soil is through green manures and cover crops. Green manures have been used for thousands of years for mainly vegetable crops; it is a way of replenishing organic matter into the soil, especially soils that have been impoverished by chemical fertilization. It is a sustainable enrichment of soil by incorporating un-decomposed green plant material for the benefit of the soil. You dig it in and let the roots, stems, and leaves decay there.
Soil, which is repeatedly used for growing vegetables of the same nature, deteriorates after a few seasons. Therefore a rotation system, which changes the use of the land each year, is good for both the soil and the crops. One crop may have a profound benefit on the soil for another, because of the feeding it has received and for the elements it may leave in the soil after the crop has been harvested.
The primary purpose of a good planting area is to provide sufficient air to the plant roots. As a general rule, if you are planting trees and shrubs in individual holes, do not add any soil amendments...simply fluff the existing soil. If you are planting in large beds, use all of the organic amendments that you can afford but these should be thoroughly mixed with the existing soil, and not simply piled on top. This allows for an extensive well-prepared root zone in which the plant roots will remain for most of their lives.

Get rid of boring stretches of grass; change the shape by adding curves, zigzags or making an island bed. Alternatively, create a focal point by planting a specimen tree. Curved lawns give the garden a more casual look while straight lines are suitable for a formal look.

Leasing a car is an alternative to car buying which has been gaining more and more adepts lately. It offers many advantages for those of us who enjoy living (and driving) on the fast lane. I speak from experience. Many years ago, I had just finished college and was looking to buy a car to get me from home to work and vice versa. I applied for an auto loan and got my much desired car. But as inexperienced as I was, I did not know that I would have to keep this car for at least five years (at least until I finished repaying the loan). And this was already an old car when I first got it.

Sometimes a tree gets to the point where it is necessary to say goodbye to it. It can be a painful choice to make, but sometimes the tree gets too close to the house, gets too diseased, gets an incurable infestation of some pest, or grows too tall and gets close to a power line. If any of these things occur, its best to do the right thing and get rid of the tree. Although you might have spent hours and hours getting the tree to where it is today, it is almost dishonorable to the tree to allow it to suffer in bad conditions.
