Grow with Bovees Harvest mites, berry bugs, chigger mites, trombiculid mites — or whatever the name you know them by, chiggers are unwelcome everywhere! These beings may be microscopic in size but the pain and inconvenience they bring can be quite humongous.
The worst part? Due to the size of chigger mites, you won’t even know that you’re a victim of a chigger’s angry bite till the big, itchy bumps on your body beg your attention—and most specifically that of your fingernails.
Why not have a stunning rock garden, filled with beautiful rock garden plants as the main showpiece of your yard…without spending your valuable leisure time maintaining it?
By carefully selecting low-maintenance plants to suit; the type of rockery you would like, your local climate and the size & position of the site you have in mind, this is entirely possible.
With that in mind, The Bovees Research Team decided to pool their extensive knowledge and put together a comprehensive selection of many low-maintenance plants for all different types of rock garden, so that you can see what takes your fancy and start building your rock garden accordingly.
A lawn mower is one of the most useful tools to have in your shed. If you have a yard, keeping the lawn care up to date is important not only for visuals but also for keeping pests and rodents out of your home.
A well-maintained lawn allows you to use the open space for various activities, including hosting barbecues for friends! But a lawn mower is not always the cheapest piece of power equipment to have in your garage.
Using traditional heap/pile methods for making nutrient rich high quality compost at home, as you will be aware, can take more than four months!
Who’s got time to wait around for that?
It certainly frustrated me….hence
(i) My in-depth investigations into alternatives….
(ii) My subsequent conversion into a ‘yimby tumbling composter’
(iii) The reason I was voted by the Bovees team to write this yimby compost tumbler review.
Sandy soils are great because they drain easily, but they will unfortunately also lose nutrients quickly if you do not treat them right.
Plus, you will need to know exactly what type of grass will work to make the most out of your sandy soil, in order to grow a beautiful lush green lawn.
So, what do you do if you have sandy soil? And what is the best grass for sandy soil?
A lawn edger/trencher is a handy tool to have in your gardening arsenal, and is designed to give you the best of both worlds — trim the grass on the very edge of your lawn, and cut trenches, so that you can mow along the edge to prevent damage to your mower caused by rocks or bricks.
Many homeowners, especially those who already own an edger often use it as a trencher too. But using an edger as a trencher does not offer the same operational efficiency, because the depth will be limited, resulting in a longer time to dig trenches.
This is a tool used to trim the grass that is on the edge of the lawn that a mower cannot reach. You can also use it on a flower or vegetable bed to make them look well trimmed but the general idea is to keep weeds from growing into the lawn.
There are many types of lawn edgers that can help you with the task at hand. We’ll take a look at the different categories of lawn edgers and how to use each of them.
