What are Leaf Blowers

What are leaf blowers? A leaf blower is a tool that is electric generated, which has a hose part that blows out air, to blow away leaf and other light weight objects like dust and paper. It can be in the form of a backpack or hand-carry, where one would wear it or bring it along, and then use it to blow leaf in the garden.

What you would like in a leaf blower:

Power - It should be able to blow lots of leaf and other light weight pile of objects like paper or dust. Imagine autumn season.

Accessibility - It would be nice if one can carry the blower along to blow all the unwanted leaf scattered around the garden or floor. It wouldn't be convenient if one would need to push the blower around. For bigger blowers, a backpack type would be great.

Unique Gardening: Terrarium and Garden Bed

I might not love planting flowers but I adore and would love to have unique plants in unique planters in my home.  To start with, I would really be happy if I can get myself a terrarium.  A terrarium is a plant inside a glass or planter wherein the plant grows by itself.  It's like a mushroom or a fungi or a fern that pops on tree branches.  You prepare for the creation of the terrarium like the indoor planter, the soil and some other tools that would help you create a "forest inside a glass".  Then the terrarium grows itself inside the planter.  This is a unique kind of planting.  I would love to have one, promise!

Terrarium can be created in a jar wherein you can put soil inside it.  Choose a jar with a wide mouth opening.  Self-helps on the internet would usually suggest you find a jar to create your terrarium.  But you can actually buy one that is so cool you'll want every guest in your house to notice it.  Here are some of the indoor planters that one can buy, and that I want as my terrarium planters:



Then for outdoors, I would like to have some outdoor planters bed. Planter beds amazes me. I found them unique. Of course it would be cool to choose a unique planter bed and plant something extraordinary on it.  Planter beds are like pig pens (big rectangular shape) or like a sand box (another rectangle in shape).  Rectangle is the normal shape of a planter bed.  But there's always an exception.  It would be cool if yours is unique.  Wouldn't your visitors would say "wow" on an outddor planter like those on the images below.


To sum it all up, I want some terrariums and a garden bed or two  =)

Picture Painting On Garden

How on earth would one put a picture painting on the garden?!? Garden is not supposed to have walls where you can hang in picture paintings or photos. It would get wet. And most gardens are outdoor. So it wouldn't be a nice idea. But there's another way of adding up some art on the garden.

You can try buying some garden flags with painting-like drawings. Of course these are perfect for outdoors. Garden flags are specifically for outdoor gardens. It would also be great for indoor gardens.

The use of garden flags is to tell people what to expect after some footsteps ahead.  But it can also decorate your garden.  Just check out these beautifully printed designs.
