   What's Inside
Plant Bacterial Diseases - Bacteria which attack plants are much smaller than parasitic fungi but infect in a similar manner by living in, and killing, the tissues. Some species are able to persist by remaining in plant debris or in dormant cells in the tissue of seeds, corms, bulb... more Light and House Plants - Light can be supplemented by artificial lights, especially by fluorescent tubes only half a metre or so above the plants. This works well for foliage plants but to make flower buds, the red rays of incandescent globes are needed. Too many of these too clo... more Pruning Roses - The most common error made in pruning roses is the location of the cut in relation to the dormant eyes or buds on the stems. Every rose stem, either on a bush in a dormant state or on one in full growth, has a number of growing points, or buds, often hard... more Types of Japanese Gardens - Japanese gardens may be "stroll" gardens or "viewing" gardens. Through the former, one walks along a path and enjoys a series of carefully planned landscape pictures from various points of vantage. The viewing garden is designed to be seen from one place... more Testing your soil - Soil-testing kits available and by and large they do a very good job of accurately testing your soil. However, if you are only interested in knowing if your soil is acid or otherwise, without worrying about degrees of acidity or alkalinity, here is a simp... more Sowing Seeds in Patches - Seeds can be sown directly on the permanent site by broadcasting or scattering them over a prepared patch of soil, where informal groups of flowering plants such as annuals are grown in a border, or where seeds of biennials or perennials are sown in frame... more Pruning Established Roses - Remove any diseased or dead wood. Old wood left for several years tends to become infected with diseases and insect pests. The bark of winter-damaged wood generally is brown or discoloured and must be cut back to healthy wood, which has a white or greenis... more Seed Raising - There are three essentials for the successful germination of seeds of all types - moisture, warmth and air. In addition, most seeds germinate best in darkness; there are a very few which respond best when exposed to light. The depth of sowing is governed... more |
