Ещё пару дней назад, с бутонами цимбидиума было всё хорошо. Но сегодня я обнаружила, что бутоны желтеют и осыпаются. Что случилось? Неправильный полив и смена места…

В заголовке этого ролика эпитеты, которыми награждают Ботанический сад Сингапура туристы, побывавшие там.
А вот один из отзывов:«Я вообще не сильно по ботаническим садам, это если уже остается свободное время. Но на этот раз — это полный восторг! Идеально ухоженный, разумно устроенный, чистейший, красивейший! Только превосходная форма прилагательных! Вход бесплатный, в выходные много гуляющих, но территория огромна и количество людей абсолютно не напрягает. Если я еще буду в Сингапуре, а я очень этого хочу, то обязательно приду сюда еще.»

Пришла зима, а у меня цветут орхидеи… Правильно ли я выбрала орхидею в магазине?

Joe Sherinski has tips for trimming a hedge. See how to avoid ugly dead stems and create a beautiful border and barrier.

Theres a lot of dead wood in this hedge, and the reason for it is vertical sides. This hedge has been trimmed with vertical sides for years and years, and as a result, all the foliage at the bottom never got any sun and so it died out. This hedge doesnt even make a good visual barrier anymore. Now this is a nice healthy Yew hedge, and Im shearing it in such a way that its wider at the bottom than it is at the top. Thats called giving the hedge batter, and the reason for doing that is to get sunlight on the bottom of the hedge. That keeps the bottom thick and full and lush. And its important in this instance because this hedge was planted as insulation, keep wind from howling under this drafty old front porch. There are two important things to know about trimming a hedge. The first is different plants should be trimmed at different times of year. Check with your local nursery and make sure youre doing it at the right time of year. And the other thing is with an evergreen hedge like these Yews, never cut past where its green or youll reveal these dead inner stems that may never bud out again. For bigger jobs, you may wanna use an electric or gas powered hedge trimmer, but be careful. These things make a mistake in a hurry. Make the bottom wider than the top, again, to keep that bottom good and thick and full and heres a little tip: lay out a tarp or even an old bed sheet to catch the clippings. Itll save you cleanup time later. Now Ive been doing this for a long time, but when I first started I always put in a guide string like this one. The reason for that is to get the top of my hedge level and straight from one end to the other. And on long hedges like this I still use a guide string. A guide string wont help this hedge though. In fact, if yours looks like this one, what you need to do is rejuvenation pruning. Take a chainsaw, cut it down to six to ten inches tall. Fertilize it. Itll grow back, and when it does, trim it wider at the bottom than at the top.

In this project, we are converting a spare bedroom into a home office. Tile is an excellent choice for a home office because it’s easy to maintain, and the hard surface allows for easy the movement of office furniture that, more and more commonly these days, comes equipped with lockable rollers.

The tile that Teresa is installing in this segment is attractive porcelain tile from Dal-Tile. Porcelain is a great choice for a home office. Because porcelain tile is fired at very high temperatures, it’s denser and more durable than ceramic tile, and can better withstand the heavy use that’s typical in a home office. Porcelain tile is also very resistant to stains.

Step 1. The sub-floor of our house is a concrete slab. The first step is to remove the carpet and pad, then check the concrete floor for inconsistencies and rough spots. Dents and dings in the concrete will not pose as serious a problem for tile as will protrusions. If possible, chisel off any protrusions in the concrete that exceed an eighth of an inch. Then give the concrete a good cleaning.
(If the sub-floor beneath your tiling project is plywood or oriented strand board, plane down any high spots and re-nail the sub-floor in any places where the flooring has come loose.)

Step 2. Find the center of the room. To find the exact center of the room, measure the distance from one wall to the opposite wall, divided that number in half, and made a long perpendicular mark at that spot. She then repeated the process for the two other walls, and put an “X” where the two lines intersected. The same result can be achieved by striking chalk lines at the center points on opposing walls, and marking the point where the two chalk lines intersect.

Step 3. Then lay out a dry run of tiles from the center point to a facing wall, making sure to put spacers between the tiles. Measure the distance from the last tile to the wall, being sure to take into consideration the quarter inch of grouting that would fall between the last field tile and the border tile. If the distance between the last field tile and the wall is two inches or less, you should move the line of tile back toward the center of the room to ensure that the border tiles are not too narrow. This process ensures that the border tiles along this wall and the opposite wall are the same width. Then repeat the process along the other axis, toward the adjacent wall.
In this case, all border tiles needed to be cut at seven inches, resulting in border tiles measuring 12” X 7”.

Step 4. Teresa used a dry scoring tile cutter to cut all the border tiles. One can also use a wet saw, which can be rented from most big box home improvement stores. We were using a pattern that combined 12” X 12” tiles, 6” X 12” tiles and 6” X 6” tiles. To create the 6” X 12” tiles, Teresa simply cut the 12” X 12” inch tiles in half.

Step 5. Teresa bound the tiles to the floor using thinset mortar adhesive. There are many kinds of tile adhesive on the market, including pre-mixed compounds that come ready to spread. The thinset used came as a powder, and Teresa used an electric drill with a huge blender attachment to mix the powder with water until it was about the consistency of toothpaste.

Step 6. When the first batch of thinset mortar was ready, Teresa used a notched trowel to spread an even coat of thinset over the area she would begin to tile. She began the installation in the corner, first setting a square 7” X 7” tile, then began laying the other border tiles along both walls for a few feet.

Step 7. Next Teresa began laying the field tiles in the pattern we chose for this installation, spreading a section of thinset, then placing the tiles down in the pattern. She continued working in this fashion until the floor was completely covered in tile.

Step 8 It is extremely important to let the tiles set for a full 24 hours before applying the grout. Once the tiles have set for 24 hours, remove the spacers from between the tiles, and begin the grouting.

Step 9 For this project, we used a pre-mixed grout. Teresa spread the grout over the tile, making sure to push the grout down into the spaces between the tiles, not worrying too much about getting the grout onto the tile surface—there’s really no way to avoid getting grout on the tile surface while grouting, so it’s best just to concentrate on ensuring that the spaces between the tiles are filled.

Step 10. Although it’s tedious, it is necessary to sponge the grout off the top of the tiles soon after the grout is applied, using repeated passes with a sponge dipped in clean water. Because the grout is much harder to remove from tile after it has dried, it’s a good idea to grout only a small section at a time. A section five by five feet is about as large an area as can be adequately grouted before the grout begins to dry on the surface of the tile.

Use less time and effort, for better results. Know and be familiar with a few key tools you need. Video inspired by a conversation with Stephanie Hafferty, from questions asked on the FB Group Undug.
I show efficient and easy use of just a few tools. We start with moving compost in my old wheelbarrow, a vital tool.
You see how a manure fork contrasts with a digging fork. I use the former to load a wheelbarrow, and break lumps of compost so that spreading is more even and compost is then more available to soil organisms

You see a bed of carrots we are harvesting, and how the soil is a little disturbed and uneven after the pull. Learn how to grow no dig carrots in my books, such as this double offer charlesdowding.co.uk/product/double-pack-no-dig-gardening-course-book-1-and-2021-gardening-calendar-both-signed/
