Setting aside some time this spring for an outdoor project, should be as much fun as decorating for Christmas
When you are considering to increase the pleasing opportunities of your backyard, you should come up with a plan. Customize your outdoor social space with a secondary cozy area.
Adding another destination to your space is just like adding another room to your house, so you’ll have similar considerations to make. You will have to keep in mind the existing landscape, what part of the day will it be in the sun and shade? Would the area be blocked from the wind or would it need steps? Figure out the answers to these questions before you begin.
Choose a location – A “cozy,” additional space can be set as close to or as far from your main outdoor pleasing area as you want. The saint placement provides an “off-the-beaten-track” destination in your own backyard , helping to create two distinctly separate outdoor areas.
Adding distance between the two areas lets you create a private area that’s an intimate conversation spot and furnished with a more selective relaxed outdoor furniture . This “satellite” area/outdoor room will have a quieter, more laid-back feeling than the main space and should be the saint place to sit around a fire pit.
As this is more aside from the main entertainment area, this space should have another use, as a kids’ play section with a sandbox and some toys around. Having all this set up further away from the main area grants children to have fun and explore, while adults can converse and dine without interruptions, hopefully.
Pick your material wisely. if this is an extension of another deck select the same material for your “secondary area.” Think about the following factors when choosing for the outdoor material: longevity, care, price and aesthetics, they are all as important. If you are installing pavers, remember that most require using sand as a base material.
If you’re interested in the latest technological advances products in building materials, a good purchase is premium composite or resin decking .
Using pavers: all you have to do is lay them side by side to create neat borders that separate your lawn and garden, or if you like you can stack them in a low surround to make a raised bed .

How to Build a Snowkitty
Fort Worth occasionally enjoys some snowfall even though it might be light… but sometimes enough to build a Snowkitty for your garden or lawn. Yes a Snowkitty, not a Snowman! Here’s some info to help you in your task in creating something that your own kitty should enjoy.
Instructions
1
With enough snow and a few common accessories you too can be the first family on the block to build your own Snowkitty. The picture above shows a Snowkitty sleeping out of plain white snow. See this Snowkitty for the type described in the steps below.
Build Your Snowkitty similar to building a Snowman:
2
Things You’ll Need:
Snow
Waterproof Winter gloves
Whisker twigs
Plastic funnel
Dirt (or fireplace ashes)
Charcoal Briquettes
3
Choose a good shady spot for your Snowkitty, perhaps on your lawn or garden under a tree where there is adequate snow nearby. If possible, find a shady spot to minimize snow melt. Hint: Use snow from tops of automobiles roofs and hoods, fence rails or any horizontal surface that collects a snow build up from a snowfall. The shadier the spot the superior to make Snowkitty last longer than most Snowmen do!
4
Collect and build snow mounds for Snowkitty shape. Begin with body, head and front legs and paws, finish with cut and ears. For an intent see the picture from a card my one of my daughters, Joelle, sent me this year (see link in Step One). Pic by Black Star Photography and card is a Gallison New York source.
5
Make fur stripe lines, eyes and nose with dirt or ashes and charcoal briquettes Use plastic funnel by holding in one hand and guiding funnel while pouring dirt or ashes from other hand. Use charcoal briquets or dirt clods for eyes and nose.
6
Make whiskers from long, thin, stripped twigs from tree in yard. Be sure whiskers are long and thin enough so your kitty can play with them!
7
These steps shoud get you started. Of course you can be more creative and select other materials for the black markings and twigs according to your desire. This should be a family affair so that you can capture on film or digitally all the fun you and your kitty will have.
Try building your own Snowkitty and send us a note and some photos and we will do a follow-up article and make a slide show of all your fun Snowkitty experiences.
Good Luck!
Tips & Warnings
Keep a pail of slightly warm water handy if necessary to help pack snow.
Build Snowkitty on overcast day to prevent fast melting.
Do select a shady spot if possible, yes you do have shade in Winter!
Work as fast as you can.
Keep kitty (…real kitty!)…away until you and your family are ready for her to play!

How to Build a Summer Compost Bin
A compost bin is an essential part of any great gardening project
If you have a small yard, I am sure you build up some green waste over the summer months.
Rather than having your gardener dispose of this wonderful compost, why not build a easy compost bin so that you have a wonderful soil amendment for your garden come next spring?
Want to get in real good with that gardener and perhaps get a discount on your lawn mowing and yard maintanence charges???
Ask him to bring his gardening trims over to your compost bin until it is full??? Get great compost for free!
Want a larger bin? You can have him leave his green waste for a couple of months and probally save even more!
Things You’ll Need:
3 wooden pallets
4 metal corner braces
wood screws
cordless screwdriver
Check around with your local garden centers, construction companies and other businesses to see if any have used pallets that you can get for free or a reduced rate and save even more!
Add more bins to your set up as apiece additional bin only uses 2 more pallets. That’s right, just line them up side by side and attach apiece to the other to for an E shape and you now have 2 compost bins.
Continue adding more to make an HHHH as you go along and soon you can be selling completed compost to your neighbors! As long as you have the room that is.
Figure out where you wish to place your first compost bin.
Lay all 3 pallets on the ground where you intend on placing your bin.
Assemble all items you need to build your bin and grab an assistant or two, to help you.
Lay your first pallet on it’s grappling with the side with the most boards on the bottom.
Using your cordless drill/screwdriver you can attach a Corner brace to the top and bottom of the right and left sides of the pallet.
Now you can stand this pallet up on one end leaving your corner braces on apiece side. Have an assistant hold this pallet up.
Take the second pallet and line it up against the side of your first one. Be sure that the corners are flush with one another to make a nice L shape. You might need a second assistant to hold up this second pallet or the first assistant could possibly hold both at the corner.
Now using your cordless drill/screwdriver you will attach the 2 pallets together at the corner braces.
Do the same for the other side and your first compost bin is complete.
If you wish to add a second one to the first you can do it at this time to form the letter E or H depending on the configuration you wish to use. You can continue to add as many bins as you wish using this method.
You are now ready to begin adding green waste to your compost bin. Remember to turn your pile each couple of weeks and water it down well to keep the internal temperature up high enough for your compost to “cook”. This will kill weed seeds and keep the beneficial microbes happy to properly process your green waste into useable completed compost your garden will love!
Tips & Warnings
You can add garden or composting worms if you like but this is not necessary. Even if you have “dead dirt” instead of soil the worms will find their way to your compost bins.
Shred all your junk mail and newspapers and add them to your pile
You can lay down sheets of cardboard at the bottom of your pile to aid in inviting the beneficial microbes to your bin that you will need. Nothing attracts worms and beneficial microbes like cardboard does!
Do not add grease or meat to your bin, it only attracts ants and other insects that you do not want to colonize your bins.
Use a good garden fork or shovel and turn your pile to mix things up a bit at least once a month
Bins steam during warmer weather if you keep them wet enough, if not they smoke…Smoke is NOT a good thing, Steam is
Make sure to soak down the bins from time to time. Composting material can get VERY HOT which can begin a fire if you do not keep the bins wet enough! I had this happen one year so I know this is true and not an urban legend
With unlimited amount of funds available, any landscape can be turned into an astonishing garden. But with limited budget, this goal is not out of reach. One of the obvious ways of reducing costs is to divide the plants and trade them with other landscape gardeners who are interested in doing the same.
One type of plants that are a great quality to have is perennial plants. They are ever lasting and need no extra maintaining efforts. Usually, as years go by, such plants tend to become larger and larger. But this is not a gift if the lawn space is limited. Split the plants along the yard to make more space. This tendency of perennial plants to overgrow can be used to our advantage by splitting. Without additional cost a beautiful garden can be built up by splitting the plants after they have grown beyond capacity at one place.
It is a very simple thing to fill up a fence by using the right type of shrubs which need splitting and reseeding. A few shrubs put here and there can make way for a fantastic lawn over the course of years.
Trading with others who are in the same position can be a good choice. If you have a lot of plants of the same variety and think that you do not need more of it. Then you can share it with others and get another variety of plants to further add to the beauty of your lawn. Ask the other landscape gardeners for some of the perennials. They are often happy to share as the perennial plants can be quite aggressive during their growth.
There are clubs for people who are interested in landscape gardening. This can be a good place where you exchange ideas and share plant varieties. Rare and exotic variety of plants can often be obtained by such means. With clubs come activities like the discussions on ideas, trips to other gardens etc.
There are books on gardening that give good suggestions. These can be purchased after careful consideration. Having other gardeners as friends can often mean that you get to know which books are good so that you can purchase them on your own.
Over the course of years, with due enduringness and work, it is doable to split your plants, share with others and build a beautiful garden.
