John from www.growingyourgreens.com goes on a field trip to a local feed store to share with you how you can save some money by purchasing fruit and vegetable seeds in bulk.

If I do purchase them online, do I just skip the regular front gate ticket sales and head right in?

Are the tickets mailed to me?

Or do I print out the tickets myself and show it to staff?

Please help.

Buying Garden Furniture

Your garden is an extension of your home, and creating an outdoor living room is an easy way to add extra space to any home. All you have to do is choose the right garden furniture.

So, just as you choose a sofa or a dining set, you want to make the right decision when it comes to choosing your garden furniture. There are two major factors to bear in mind: what do you want your furniture for, and what materials will your garden furniture be made of.

Who will use your garden furniture?

First, think about how you will use your garden furniture. Are you going to have lots of barbecues and larger gatherings, or is your garden a haven for just the two of you? Or maybe you have a larger garden, and want to create several seating areas – one for dining, one for catching the late evening sun where you can relax with a book, and a secluded little area where you can enjoy a morning coffee and a magazine once everyone else has gone off to school or work.

Dining sets for the garden

For those barbecues, think about a large rectangular table (36-46in), which will comfortably seat 4 or 6 people. Dining-style chairs with high backs (and cushions) will be more comfortable.

Folding garden furniture

If space is limited, and you don’t think you’ll use your larger garden furniture on a regular basis, think about choosing chairs and tables that can be folded up, and stacked in a garage or shed. Folding chairs are useful when you have extra guests.

Table for two

For an intimate arrangement, bistro tables are a great choice. A round table with two chairs is perfect for popping out for that summer drink or cup of coffee and won’t take up too much space. You could add a couple more folding chairs in case you have extra visitors.

Curl up in a garden arbour

For an attractive seating area off a garden path or next to a beautiful border, a garden arbour bench is perfect. The bench is usually big enough for two (or one, curled up with a good book), and growing climbing plants around it can enhance its beauty. For a quick effect, choose annual climbers such as sweet peas, which will form a scented haven, or a Clematis Montana, which by its second year will be rioting over your arbour, regaling it in pale pink/white flowers. A slower growing climber, such as ivy or Russian vine can be planted at the same time.

What will your garden furniture be made of?

The style of your garden, your budget, and storage facilities will dictate what your garden furniture will be made of.

Mixed materials

For a stylish contemporary look, go for garden furniture comprising wood, metal and glass. Colourful all-weather material will really make a statement.

Hardwood garden furniture

Hardwood such as teak, oak and ash is the most durable choice for wooden garden furniture. Make sure your garden table and chairs comes from a recognised supplier who’s a member of the WWF Global Forest and Trade Network or FSC. To keep it looking its best, wooden garden furniture should be protected from the elements (store in a shed or garage over winter, or invest in some good-quality garden furniture covers) and treated regularly with wood preserver. But wooden garden furniture can also be left outside all year round if you want it to weather naturally.

Softwood garden furniture

Softwood garden furniture, such as pine, is beautiful in most gardens, though particularly suited to more rural, cottage-style environments. Ensure that your chosen garden furniture is made with wood from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Look out for the FSC logo.

Aluminium and metal garden furniture

If you want low-maintenance garden furniture, metal garden furniture is for you. It’s easy to just wipe clean and metal and aluminium garden furniture can be left outside in any weather conditions.

Glass garden furniture On a cloudy day (and we have a few of those!) glass garden furniture will reflect any sun there is, adding light to a shady area. It’s also easy to maintain – just wipe clean.

Resin furniture

Resin garden furniture is a good budget option. It’s easy to clean and lightweight.

Garden furniture accessories

Parasols

To shade a garden dining table – or even keep off those spots of rain, a parasol is essential. Look out for some fantastic coloured-parasols this year, or stick to classic dark green or cream.

Garden chair cushions

Even the most comfortable garden furniture will benefit from a bit of padding. Adding a new set of cushions is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to update your garden furniture.

Garden furniture buying guide Q&A

I’m short on space? Can I still have garden furniture?

Think about buying a folding garden table and chairs. It can be moved out of the way if the children want a game of football.

How about garden furniture for a sunbathing fan?

Look for a recliner or lounger. Both have several positions, so you can sit more upright if you’re reading, or lie back for a snooze in the sun.

Where will the children sit?

If you have a large family, or have lots of young visitors, you might like to buy them their own garden furniture. There are some wonderful colourful garden furniture sets around for children, with matching chairs, tables and parasols, all built on a miniature scale. If children are going to sit on adult garden furniture, choose solid, stable chairs that are hard to tip over, and with rounded edges to prevent knocks and bumps. Washable cushions are a good idea too!

3 Tips for buying Wholesale Aluminum Fencing

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – 3 Tips for buying Wholesale Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fencing is to be considered the fencing material of choice for most applications. Whether you require a pool fence, garden fence, security fence, or you’re just looking to add a certain something to your property; Aluminum fence offers durability, style, and peace of mind. Of course, for small properties, buying large amount of aluminum fence is unnecessary. However, for larger properties, including commercial and industrial sites, wholesale aluminum fencing is the only way to go. Nonetheless, with wholesale you often get less opportunity to inspect the parts before they arrive, so here’s a few tips to keep in mind while you’re shopping around.

1)      Make sure you fully understand the layout of your perimeter, the length of the sections, and how many posts you will need and where, and if (depending on the length) you will need to trim your fence at any point. Knowing all of this and having your property staked out before hand is key to making sure that your plans are correct. The last thing you want to do is order your wholesale aluminum fencing and find that you measured incorrectly.

2)      If powder coating is not available, find another dealer. This is a personal preference but one that is important if you want your fence to last and remain a low maintenance investment. Powder coating adds a whole new layer of durability to your fence and is much more appealing than just a plain paint job. Often you can find dealers with several selections of color. White and Black are the most common, for obvious reasons, and Green tends to work well with almost any large lawn or playground.

3)      If you can, arrange your own shipping with a reputable company. Often shipping companies will offer better rates than a wholesale aluminum fencing dealer would. In addition, shipping companies usually offer enhanced return packages that you may not get in an “all-inclusive” package from a fence dealer.

The most familiar materials that are used are of course timber but did you know that you can purchase metal, plastic and even vinyl-sided sheds at cheap prices too? Again, it all depends on your budget and what you are going to use it for. The characteristic shed is often a single-story configuration with one door and either one or two windows. If you don’t happen to have space for a shed in your garden or you have no garden at all, you can rent space in an allotment and have your shed situated there.

Most people use their shed for storage which is of course very useful. You can also use your garden shed as a small workshop/office or even use it as a children’s play hideaway. You can put up shelves, maybe a bench and a desk for comfort.  You can be thoroughly creative when it comes to decorating and adding trimmings to your shed and it’s possible to do all this at a reasonably low cost. Small traditional garden sheds in general open from either the front or the sides and have at least one small window and such sheds can be bought very cheaply.

In warmer temperatures you can buy sheds with a protected overhang and an outside sitting zone. If you live in a colder climate then you can attach electrical points for use with heaters. If it’s just an area to escape then why not have your Television and laptop or add carpets and even curtains!  The simplest kind and the least pricey of all sheds can be purchased in a “kit form” meaning you have to self-assemble. These cheap sheds can be bought from most do it yourself stores, garden centres and from an entire host of reputable shed companies on the web. These kinds of DIY kits are normally wooden sheds but this is not always the case. The size and style of the shed you select will depend on the purpose that you are going to be using it for. You will want to think about whether it is to be used to store home garden tools and equipment such as lawn mowers, lawn tractors and bulky gardening items or merely to keep products that are not suitable for indoors, such as petrol, pesticides or herbicides.

If you have a small garden and want a cheap small shed, then there are a few types of small sheds obtainable at very reasonable prices; These consist of corner sheds, which fit into a corner 3’ tall x 3’ wide x 2’ deep, vertical sheds (5’ tall x 3’ wide x 4’ deep), horizontal sheds (3’ tall x 5’ wide x 4’ deep) and tool sheds. If you intend to use your shed for tool storage, then you may need to think about adding some shelves and hooks to maximize your storage space. Some other shed styles that you might like to think about include Gambrel-style roofed sheds, similar to the Dutch-style barn! And these exhibit a high slanting roofline which increases the storage space in the ‘loft’. An additional style of small cheap shed is the saltbox-style shed. No matter what kind you decide and for whatever purpose, I’m sure you will have a lot of happy years of enjoyment with your new garden shed.
