Setting up the Compost Pile
A compost pile is more than just raking up some leaves. A good mix is to have equal parts of green and brown materials plus enough water to keep it all moist. Use any plant material and leaves in your compost pile as long as they are not diseased. Branches should be ground in a chipper/shredder before putting them into the compost pile.
Gardening has become one of the most popular hobbies, and you probably know a gardener or two that would love a gardening gift for their upcoming special occasion. There are hundreds of gardening gifts to buy for both the beginner and expert gardener, and the great thing about gardening gifts is they can be bought just about anywhere: online, nursery, feed store, farmer’s market, even your local Wal-Mart or grocery store.
Gardening Equipment
Nearly every gardener has some type of gardening equipment. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to have a garden without using gardening equipment. What kind of gardening equipment you use will obviously depend on the size and extent of your garden, what you are able to handle, if you want to spend a lot of time in your garden or get done quickly, and finally, how much money you are willing to spend.
There are a lot of new people entering the world of gardening and sometimes we just don't know where to begin. Although this article is centered around a vegetable garden the process is also valid for any flower bed.

Water gardens can contain other water features such as water falls, fountains, or bubblers. Lights, both around the edge and under the water, are another added feature for water gardens.
Spring flowering bulbs should be planted in the fall. If your starting a new garden you'll need to evaluate the site. Is there turf grass that needs to be removed? What about roots from nearby trees or shrubs?
There many different types of ground cover. Several are evergreen ground covers. Some are deciduous but will grow and fill in rapidly each year.
Purple Wintercreeper is an excellent choice as an evergreen ground cover for slopes. I say evergreen but the leaves actually turn purple in the winter.
This plant is hardy in zones 4-8 and will take full sun to full shade.
Living Mulch: Ground covers can act as mulch, protecting the soil and suppressing weeds. Evergreen Perennial ground covers such as ivy, purple winter creeper, or blue rug juniper remain attractive all year.
The Cooperative Extension System is a federally funded network of educational institutions. Every state in the U.S. has an extension office located at its land-grant university along with a network of local offices.
If you are a garden lover, but have no space for your gardening appetite, don’t worry gardening is not necessarily out of your reach. In the available space of your house say balcony, patio, deck, or sunny window, you can create a container gardening, which will not only bring you joy but also vegetables. So, are you ready to start container gardening yourself…
It is the rare gardener who finds the growing season long enough. Fortunately, gardeners can satisfy the itch to plant early and to keep crops producing through fall by using row covers.
One of the best deals for gardeners is a soil test, available through local cooperative extension offices or private laboratories. In most areas, you can get a fairly comprehensive and informative test done for $5 to $10—less than you'd spend for a bag of fertilizer. And that soil test may tell you that you don't even need that fertilizer.

Uncle. Yeah, you heard me. I have finally come around to ornamental grasses. It has been a long road to acceptance, now turned to honest admiration, while the rest of the gardening world almost passed me by.
Siberian Cypress
Plant of the Week
.jpg)
BY: Elizabeth Noll
Conifers look their best in winter. A cloak of snow adds mystery and magic to them, while deciduous trees shiver. Even conifers that are low to the ground, like Siberian cypress (Microbiota decussata), add that certain something to the winter garden. This shrubby evergreen (which really is from Siberia) has feathery, nodding, triangular sprays of flattened, scalelike needles. It’s green in spring and summer and turns a lovely brown-purple in the fall and winter. Siberian cypress bears tiny cones and spreads slowly to cover a large area.
