FROST COVER FOR YOUR PLANTS DURING WINTER

Edrich — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:42:29 +0000

Young plants and frost-sensitive plants need to be protected from extreme cold.

You can cover these plants with frost guard or Hessian, which you can buy at a garden centre, hardware store or nursery. These materials allow air and water through, so it is safe to keep your plants covered until spring.

Saplings can be protected from frost by wrapping straw bundles around the stems.

You can also protect your plants from frost, by not watering in the late afternoon, as the wet ground will make the frost even more severe. It is best to water your garden in the mornings, to allow the excess water to dry during the day.

The landscaping experts at Kingfisher Landscaping design and implement exceptional and beautiful gardens in a professional manner. We pride ourselves in providing our clients with excellent, efficient and comprehensive service. We offer all the products and services associated with creating a peaceful, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space which will complement the style of your home and in which you can relax.

ATTRACTING BUSH BABIES TO YOUR GARDEN

Edrich — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:55:55 +0000

You are not only limited to attracting butterflies and birds to your garden. You can also creating an inviting habitat for our indigenous old world monkey, the Lesser Bushbaby (Galago moholi).

The presence of these cute, furry and saucer-eyed nocturnal mammals will only enhance the quality of your outdoor living area.

The first thing to consider when planning on inviting bushbabies to your garden is your pets. If you have dogs or cats, it might not be such a good idea, as you might be luring the bushbabies to a certain death.

Seeing as these little nocturnal pro-simians are indigenous, you will need to plant indigenous plants in your garden to create the perfect environment for them. Take into consideration what they need in terms of food, water, nesting and safety. I suggest you conduct intensive research on these tiny furry creatures to be able to ascertain what their needs will be.

Firstly, bushbabies are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in trees. Therefore you will have to plant some large trees in your garden. They are omnivorous and eat tree gum – from acacia trees – flowers, fruits and insects, such as moths, beetles, butterflies, grasshoppers and even small reptiles, such as lizards. They are not dependant on water, but it would be a wise idea to provide a safe watering spot for them in your garden.

You can entice them to stay and breed in your garden, by providing a nesting log or box for them. In nature, they will nest in the hollow of a tree. Bushbabies normally give birth to one or two offspring and sometimes even up to three babies.

Finally, please keep in mind that these animals are wild and you should not try to keep them as pets. Be satisfied with providing a habitat for them in your garden, where they can exist in peace and are free to roam as they want.
