Clean Ponds Can Be Had Without Extensive Chemical Use

August 27th, 2010 by gardenal No comments »

While daunting as it may sound, it is possible to have a nice and clear pond without the over use of chemicals.  The secret is in the air we breathe…oxygen.  Ponds thrive when given enough oxygen, but ponds lacking in oxygen can turn ugly and messy quick and allow for pond weeds to take over.  So, how to you get oxygen into a pond?  Through the use of pond aerators.  Pond aerators come in different shapes and size, but the main result is to mix the pond water so that oxygen from the atmospheres can be mixed into the water, which adds dissolved oxygen that fuels beneficial bacteria which helps to create an environment that is not favorable for plant growth and murky water.

Aerators can be made to fit any pond no matter the size or depth.  Some styles work better in shallow ponds, while others are made specifically for deep water.  Still other types harness the power of wind to create energy to power the air pump for ponds in remote areas.

Bottom line, anyone with a pond would benefit from an aerator and the up front costs from the unit and quickly recovered due to the minimal amount of chemicals needed year after year.

HealthierOrganics.com: An Online Community and Blog about Living Organically

August 27th, 2010 by gardenal No comments »

Madison Heights, MI (PRWEB) August 27, 2010

HealthierOrganics.com, an online community and blog that discusses a variety of topics related to knitting and sewing, has released several new pages, including “Beneficial Garden Insects,” “Cordless Garden Tools,” and “Organic Herbs.”

The page “Beneficial Garden Insects” from HealthierOrganics.com summarizes the key benefits offered by having two common insects in the garden: bees and ladybugs. The page notes that bees are responsible for pollination, which is necessary for many flowers to bloom and yield fruit. Ladybugs, on the other hand, are cited as being “voracious predators” of many common garden pests, including aphids and mites. The author does warn that introducing beneficial garden insects to the garden may push out desired native insects, and thus precautions should be taken to prevent this if possible.

“Cordless Garden Tools,” published on HealthierOrganics.com, investigates the potential utility of using several different cordless garden tools. The page recommends a Black & Decker 18V Cordless Garden Cultivator for “weeding and aerating soil” as well as a Black & Decker 36V Cordless String Trimmer, though it comments that some users of the latter may want to purchase a second battery to trim large yards. However, the page does not recommend cordless blowers, which are described as being “underpowered” in comparison to traditionally gas or plug-in electric powered blowers.

Organic “herbs fit in perfectly with organic vegetable gardening, as many of these plants tend to complement each other,” states HealthierOrganics.com on the page “Organic Herbs.” The author encourages readers to use homemade organic compost for planting organic herbs instead of store-bought fertilizer. It also notes that some herbs, namely mint and parsley, may grow too aggressively in a garden, and instead should be grown in containers. Finally, the page suggests using organic herbs in salads and as spices for meat or bread.
