   What's Inside
Bonsai Care - Throughout its life, a bonsai needs special attention - at times daily care - and it cannot be overlooked if the tree is to remain healthy and grow steadily more beautiful. A prime need is for fresh air and sunshine, which can best be supplied in the open... more Bonsai Shaping - Select a specimen which has inherent possibilities of becoming a fine bonsai. Set the tree at eye level and turn it around to determine which parts to train for the front, the back, the left and right sides. Now inspect the roots; take a blunt tool and di... more Moving Your Roses - Roses may be successfully moved at most times of the year, even in full flower and when the soil is dry, provided precautions are taken. Remove all buds and flowers, but do not leave them with long stems. Lift each plant carefully, cutting back any extra... more Choosing Your Plants From The Nursery - When choosing plants from the nursery, always look for healthy leaf growth, perhaps new shoots and good colour in the leaves.

They can be photographed by means of moder... more Rocks and Stones in a Japanese Garden - Although rocks are conspicuous in Japanese gardens, their use is quite different from that in Western rock gardens, where the aim is to duplicate natural rock formations as closely as possible. The rocks in a Japanese garden are considered individually as... more Green Manure Crops - Because gardening is an intensive cultivation, it is rarely possible to devote considerable areas for lengthy periods to the growing of cover crops to turn under. Cover cropping or green manuring is therefore less extensively practised by gardeners than b... more |
