5 Steps To A Better Lawn And Garden

by: George Chapman

If you're lucky enough to have a lawn with a good topsoil base, much of the hard work of keeping a lawn beautiful is already done for you. But many of us do not have this luxury, and besides, even with a good topsoil base, you still have to work hard to keep a beautiful lawn and garden.

1. The best time to mow a lawn is when it is cool and dry. Wait for the morning dew to dry off, and before the afternoon heat takes hold. Alternatively, late afternoon or early evening following a watering in the morning is also a good time.

2. A hedge is a much better boundary divider than a fence. It will provide better privacy and keep pets and children in - or out. It will attract birds to its shelter, and provide a great backdrop for plants and flowers.

3. Bring the beauty of your garden to you; plant hyacinths near walkways and doors. Their magnificent perfume will swamp the spring air and make your garden really come alive.

4. Add your garden to non-garden items, such a lampposts and mail boxes. Surround these items with flowers planted to take advantage of the earliest to the latest flowerings. You could have white snowdrops, purple and gold crocus, blue hyacinths, and various colored tulips. You could also surround the posts with rocks to provide added interest.

5. Simple, but effective weed control can be achieved on your lawn by mowing often during spring. This will prevent dandelions spreading by eliminating the yellow blossoms and preventing seed formation. Mow high during late spring and early summer. This will allow grass blades to shade the ground, and will help prevent crabgrass from sprouting.

Your lawn and garden should be a source of pride and beauty. You don't need to spend lots of money on expensive fertilizers and herbicides, or fancy lawn furniture and ornaments. A little commonsense and thought can go a long way to making your lawn and garden a much better place.

Why Your Headline Will Make You Or Break You In Project Management!

Why Your Headline Will Make You Or Break You In Project Management!

by: Arne Yri

The value of a proper headline when dealing with a project (or anything else for that matter) cannot be stressed enough...

Yep! I'm talking of the headline of your email correspondence here...

It only makes the day for a project manager so much more comfortable (not to mention easier), when he/she has to find something in a hurry...

And, usually...

What else... normally...

is a project other than...

"In A Hurry..."

So, if you'd just give me an appropriate headline, I'm very apt to forgive everything else, and especially typos;-) - slang or whatever have you.

The need for understandable language however...

Still though, just my 2 cents...

Whenever I got e-mails of character "more or less garbled", I'd call back to make sure the importance of such a post... And, if nothing else,...

More Than Spring Break in Canc?n

by: Jennifer Smith

For years vacationers have been drawn to the beautiful scenery that Canc?n has to offer. There is, after all, a reason why the Mexican government chose this coastal city to be its tourist flagship. Blue waters, white sands, and plenty of room for development meant that Canc?n was the perfect place to draw in visitors.

Image and Reality

Canc?n's popularity with American travelers ? meaning English is widely spoken and popular chain stores and restaurants can be found there ? and relatively low costs has helped it to become a haven for spring breakers, and has become better known as a party spot than the escape it was designed to be. Still, many vacationers looking for a resort location that is perfect for honeymoons or other peaceful getaways also consider Canc?n.

How can honeymooners mix with the out-all-night lifestyle Canc?n is becoming so well-known for? The simple answer is that...

Memory Foam Mattress vs. Coil Spring Mattress; How Do They Differ?

by: Charles "Chuck" Harmon

Have you ever wondered how anyone got the idea to start sleeping on springs in the first place?

I mean, think about it for a minute, what would it feel like to lay down on the bare springs?

And why is it, that laying on springs with some kind of material over them, is considered any better?

The creation of a coil spring mattress was first documented, by patent, in 1865, and there have only been a couple of minor changes, to that original design, in the following 140 years.

During that same period, we went from plowing fields with oxen, to men living in space.

Don't you think it's conceivable that we could find new ideas and materials to improve the mattresses we spend 1/3 of our life on?

The differences, between a regular coil spring mattress and a memory foam mattress, will be presented, to help you understand the difference....
