What's Inside

Pruning Houseplants - If a plant is growing too tall and a bushier shape is required, stop the growing shoots by breaking off the tips with finger and thumb (known as "pinching" or "pinching back"). This encourages the growth of side shoots and bushiness will soon result. Hous... more

Making acid soil alkaline - If your soil is sandy, distribute kg sulphur over 9 square metres and turn it in. On heavy soils use 1 kg sulphur. Then mix 225 grams manganese sulphate, 120 grams iron sulphate and 22 grams borax. Mix these materials thoroughly with a few shovels full... 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

Care of lawns in shaded areas - If the lawn-to-be will receive at least two hours of direct sunlight or its equivalent in dappled sunshine (very light shade with sun filtering in through for most of the day) ordinary grass mixtures intended for sunny places are satisfactory, but in plac... more

Indoor Garden Planters - Planters can be of any dimensions and shapes appropriate to their locations. Some enthusiasts have floor level, bed-type planters large enough to include a fountain and perhaps a path to make servicing them easier. These are truly indoor gardens! But most... more

Repotting Houseplants - Frequent repotting of house plants is unnecessary, and generally plants placed in containers 5 in. or larger in diameter can stay in the same pots for 12 to 18 months. Most kinds will thrive in pots that appear too small for them, and many that have fille... more

Fungi - Fungus Diseases - Parasitic fungi are mostly microscopic. They invade higher plants and grow in their tissues (cells), which they kill and then absorb the contents for food. They penetrate and grow in the plant cells by means of fine fungal threads (hyphae), and spread f... more

When to Plant Roses - All types of dormant rose-bushes can be planted. The season selected depends upon factors such as soil and climate. In heavy soils which hold much moisture, planting in early spring is often more successful. A planting in late August or during September i... more

Fertilizing Houseplants - Fertilizing is beneficial during the period of active growth from spring through summer to early autumn. In late autumn and winter, discontinue fertilizing altogether except for those plants which make growth during these periods.There are many good brand... more
