What can broken DVDs do to your garden and home http://www.gardening4u.net/what-can-broken-dvds-do-to-your-garden-and-home/ http://www.gardening4u.net/what-can-broken-dvds-do-to-your-garden-and-home/#comments Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:53:41 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/what-can-broken-dvds-do-to-your-garden-and-home/ Reuse your unwanted DVD discs

If you are a fan of collecting music, video or data discs you most likely have many spindles of them lying around your house collecting dust. So what can you do with it all? If you get innovative you can come up with some very crafty ideas on what to do with old DVDsdiscs other than using them simply as useful but passé drink coasters.

Some useful ideas:

·   Scare off those unwanted birds:

Do you struggle with birds destroying your vegetable garden or pigeons sitting on     your window sill? String some CD or DVDsdiscs on a string and hang them, the reflection from the sun will scare them off.

·   Make a light switch cover:

Cut a hole in the middle and stick it to your wall with double sided tape for a techno look to your room

·   Make a fly swatter:

Fly’s getting you down, stick an old disc to a ruler and there you have it, a fly swatter.

·   Make a lamp out of discs:

Break a disc into medium size pieces and use them for mosaic for a lamp

·   Make a mobile for your child’s room

Stick pictures of yourself and your family to various old discs and string them together at different lengths to make a mobile for your child’s room.

·   Make your own disco ball

Cut discs in small squares and stick them to a ball to make your very own disco ball for your next party.

 

·   Make a CD locker magnet

Decorate a disc with pictures of your friends or family and stick a magnet on the other side and you will have a nice magnet to decorate your locker.

·   Create a Banner for your next party:

Stick CD’s together in the form of letters and put it on the wall for a sparkly party banner.

·   Create a funky ceiling

If you have more discs lying around than most, use them to cover the ceiling of your room to create a cool and different look.

·   Create a CD holder

Cut your discs in half and glue them to a stick or cardboard to store the rest of    your CD collection.

Recycling unused data discs

CD and DVDs discs are made from a variety of lacquers, aluminium and polycarbonate plastic. Simply disposing of them in the garbage is not the best option as they will still be around for many years to come releasing Bisphenol A, a harmful substance known to cause many health problems. Burning them also releases toxic fumes so this too is not an option.

Unfortunately there is no other way to dispose of your discs your self without harming the environment. You will need to take or post them to various organizations such as Greenhouse that specializes in recycling such materials.

House windows measurements http://www.gardening4u.net/house-windows-measurements/ http://www.gardening4u.net/house-windows-measurements/#comments Mon, 08 Nov 2010 06:56:40 +0000 admin When you are looking to replace windows in your house there is one main thing that will come to your mind so that you get the right window. If you’re trying to get replacement windows any company will ask you the size of the window you need. Since every window and manufacturing company is different on their prices, you need to make sure that you’re getting the best price for the window that you are ordering for your house. Here are some things they need to take under consideration in order to make sure that you’re getting the right window possible so that you do not end up spending extra money on the window of that you desire.

It does not matter what type of window that you ordered but you have to make sure that you house windows measurements properly so it does not end up costing you more money to ship the window back to get the right size one. You are wasting money if you do not measure the window size properly because you’ll keep on sending the window back unto you get the right size. The company might take the window back the first time but if you keep on making the same mistake eventually you’ll have to pay for shipping. If you are on restricted budget, this is not something you want to do.

Another thing you have to make sure is that the window will fit in the hole in the house. Proper measurement is essential when you’re trying to find replacement windows for your house. You do not want to spend time waiting for a window that you have already taken now because you have to replace it because it can let the elements into the house. You do not want snow or rain to get inside the house because you have to wait on the window.

Why Do You Need To Stay On Top Of Pest Control Problems http://www.gardening4u.net/why-do-you-need-to-stay-on-top-of-pest-control-problems/ http://www.gardening4u.net/why-do-you-need-to-stay-on-top-of-pest-control-problems/#comments Sun, 01 Aug 2010 06:56:40 +0000 admin An issue that seems to be coming up a lot more recently is pest control. It seems as though more and more people are starting to get pests infesting their house, and it is putting them at some very serious risks. But, if you ask them, they will say they took no real preventative measures before their pest infestation happened. But, this is one of the most important things you can do. Here are some reasons why you need to stay on top of your pest problems before they become a major issue.

Health
The first thing you need to consider when thinking of pests is the issue of health. It is no secret that most common household pests carry many diseases, and they can easily be caught by you or your children and make you very sick. If you have kids that play on the floor and get into all the nooks and crannies you never see, imagine what they could get. Something as simple as mice feces can cause you to get very sick, and more often than not, you don’t even know what the cause was because you didn’t know you ingested them. Health is the major issue you have to think of when it comes to pests.

Damage
The other issue with pests, especially termites, is the issue of damage. Believe it or not, a lot of pests can cause damage to your belongings or even the structure of your house, putting you at an even larger risk. While most pests only eat clothing and cause minor damage, something like termites can actually eat away at the structural stability of your house, which is very expensive to repair and can put your family in danger.

No matter what you do, you have to make sure your living space is pest free and that it stays that way. What you may think is only a small problem can actually have very bad consequences if it is left unattended. Do yourself a favor and get on top of your pest problems before they become too big to handle.

How to Revive a Dead Houseplant http://www.gardening4u.net/how-to-revive-a-dead-houseplant/ http://www.gardening4u.net/how-to-revive-a-dead-houseplant/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:37:07 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/?p=11 Much to the dismay of many homemakers, there are some houseplants which are sensitive and seem to die quickly, without much attention. When this happens, is there anything that can be done to revive the plant?

There are many reasons that the houseplant may have died in the first place. In most cases, the reason the houseplant dies is because it has been exposed to too much water or cold and even extreme heat without watering. Depending on the type of plant, it can take specialized fertilizer to encourage the plant to grow.

First, determine how the plant looks. Are there are any signs of life through the plant? In some cases there are small green pieces left on the plant and this can help to get the plant back on its feet and get growing.

New soil that is filled with nutrients can help to bring a plant to life, as well as regular watering. Be sure to check the label that comes with the plant to determine the plant’s particular needs for water, as every plant differs. Ensuring that enough water is given, as well as exposure to light can help to revive a dead houseplant!

How Much Water Does Your Garden Need? http://www.gardening4u.net/how-much-water-does-your-garden-need/ http://www.gardening4u.net/how-much-water-does-your-garden-need/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:36:36 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/?p=12 Did you know that the majority of people are over-watering their garden and causing rot and decay to occur which can be detrimental to the plant? Watering too much or watering not enough can be the death of a plant – even grass! Water is one of the crucial ingredients that is used to ensure a garden is growing as it should and without it, the garden can easily dwindle.

How are you supposed to determine how much water is required for the garden? First, determine the types of plants that are being grown in the garden. Different types of plants that are being grown may require different amounts of water.

Next, determine how much water is being introduced to the garden naturally, this means, through the use of rainwater and other components. It is important to supplement this water if you are in an area with little precipitation.

Depending on the type of soil that is found in the garden, it may require different amounts of water. Soil that tends to be wetter, like clay soil requires less amounts of water than soil that may be naturally dryer, like other types of dirt.

The Basic Tools of Gardening http://www.gardening4u.net/the-basic-tools-of-gardening/ http://www.gardening4u.net/the-basic-tools-of-gardening/#comments Wed, 06 May 2009 02:35:59 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/?p=9 When starting a garden, there are certain tools which are required to make the process of planting the seeds, watering the garden and removing weeds as easy as possible. Using these tools can be an effective way to reduce the amount of work that has to be completed in the garden, rather using these tools to plant and dig within the garden making it as easy as possible to care for the flowers as well as fruits and vegetables that are grown in the garden.

Here are some tools that are required for every garden:

A shovel is required to dig the holes within the soil that the seeds are going to be placed into. Shovels that have sharp edges are used most commonly, whether they are made from metal or plastic to make the most of the garden tool and dig through rough parts of soil that may have become hardened through the environment.

A rake is required to help with removing the weeds from the garden. The rake can help to remove the tough roots from the weeds, making the process easier.

Next, a watering system is essential to the garden. Whether you are using a hose or a sprinkler, or have chosen to use a traditional water can. The system should be used once a day to water the plants in the garden.

How to Make the Most of Your Small Space Garden http://www.gardening4u.net/how-to-make-the-most-of-your-small-space-garden/ http://www.gardening4u.net/how-to-make-the-most-of-your-small-space-garden/#comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 02:35:30 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/?p=7 Did you know that a great garden is possible even in the smallest of spaces? Small space gardens are an effective way to make use of all available space and think outside of the box, using space that is not only found on the ground, but on walls, fences and other parts of the garden that can be used to grow vegetables and plants within any small green space.

Use these tips to make the most of your small garden:

Use the walls. There are many shelves, garden trellises and other types of hanging baskets that can be used to make the most of the small garden space, which should be taken advantage of in spaces that are lacking area. Hanging baskets can be used to grow flowers and other types of small plants – even an herb garden! Hanging baskets can also help to reduce the access to the plants from pests that may invade the garden!

Small garden spaces are often lacking ground room and have cement patios, consider using patio stones that are smaller in size through the entire garden, rather than taking advantage of the entire stone patio. Removing the stone patio can create the maximum room to grow items in the garden.

The Benefits of Natural Fertilizers http://www.gardening4u.net/the-benefits-of-natural-fertilizers/ http://www.gardening4u.net/the-benefits-of-natural-fertilizers/#comments Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:34:27 +0000 admin http://www.gardening4u.net/?p=4 The benefits of natural fertilizers can be seen in the flowers and the produce that are created from natural fertilizers. The products are healthier, contain fewer chemicals and are an effective way to reduce the risks of chemicals that can be absorbed into the body from the foods that we consume.

First, let’s talk about the dangers that can come in fertilizers that use chemicals as the main ingredient. These types of fertilizers contain harmful ingredients and known carcinogens and should be avoided, as the fertilizers which are used can become absorbed within the foods that we eat.

Where can you find natural fertilizers? There are many ingredients such as manure that are used as natural fertilizers within organic gardens. These natural ingredients are an effective way to grow plants, but are also an effective way to reduce the risks of ingesting something harmful from the food that we choose, or grow within our gardens.

Making the switch to natural fertilizers is easy after the gardener is able to get used to the idea. Gardeners can obtain natural fertilizers from most garden stores, for comparable prices to chemical fertilizers. This makes a great argument for all gardeners to switch to natural fertilizers in their gardens.
