How can I make a sprinkler system for my flower garden?? I dont want to pay someone to come build some ..?
Concert of colours for a Birch tree

elaborate sprinkler system. I just want something I can do myself and something that looks nice. Or any cool ideas some of you might have to raise the property value of my property with landscaping.


The automatic sprinklers are pretty easy to install, and some can be as easy as attaching them to your standard spigot. But if you are really plumbing impaired there are electronic timers that you can install at the spigot on the outside of the home and then run the hose to a few regular sprinklers that are strategically placed in the garden area. put it out in spring and set and put away in the fall. they sell them at home depot.

(if you really want to - try a search on line for toro sprinkler systems to find components for the DYI system.)

gardening and landscaping - flowering perennials in poor soil conditions?
Show stopper

I had three PJM rodedendrums planted in the shade of a maple tree, the one in the middle died twice, the others are fine. the roots of the tree must be sucking up all the moisture in that spot. what can i replace with?


You could be right about the roots, but it may also be the soil pH. Rhododendrons like acidic soil and in some areas, for them to thrive, you have to treat the soil to make it more to their liking.

are pure white landscaping stones good for around flowers and bushes in the garden?
Garden Journal Page 2

I thought I read that the white attracts the Sun and can cause the bushes,etc. to burn.


They are great for about a month, then weeds start to creep in between them and they turn green and yucky. Cleaning them out of your beds later will not be fun.

Moonlight garden landscaping ideas?
Forsythia's Time

I'd like to create a white themed garden that looks pretty at night and will blend in my back yard corner area. I know that the moonflower is a good choice for a running vine. Are there any white flowering evergreen shrubs or other choices I can choose from also? I think that white is elegant and relaxful for a garden setting.


Not only should you consider white flowers for a white garden but the pale colors or pale pink, light lavender, lilac, and pale yellow as well. These color just pop when twilight begins, especially pale lavender, something about light wavelengths and theirs being long, I think.

Some great flowers are impatients, they come in white but also light shades of lilac and pink and petunias also in those colors.

For next year you might want to add white triumphator tulips.

There are also white cone flowers, white roses (alba rugosa and Ice berg), lambsear (gray-green foliage with pale pink flowers), hosta plantaginea (has a large trumpet shaped flower that smells of gardenia), Annabell hydrangea, nicotiana Only the Lonely (flower smells of gardenia and opens at night), Other white plants, White Profusion butterfly bush, phlox 'David', the near white daylily Joan Senior, white variegated hosta, Casa Blanca Oriental lily, Peacock Gladiola, regular white gladiola, white delphinium, Muscadet Oriental lily, nigella African bride, and white Sonata (a short one!) cosmos.

Many trumpet shaped flowers will attract the night-active hummingbird moths and hawk moths, which feed at dusk and are amazing to watch, very much like hummingbirds themselves. They are insect the size of a small hummingbird.

A grey, white and pale yellow garden would be wonderful.

Any tips for a beginner's vegetable garden?
Leon Redbud

I live in Reno, Nv (Northern Nevada). I have a landscaped backyard with a flower garden, but I want to make a small vegetable garden that will I will plan and take care of by myself.

I am planning to start it just outside the fence to my backyard. I will be buying live plants instead of seeds. It will not be attached to the drip system that my other plants use (where's the fun in that?)

I plan to research the matter online and check with the nursery for information. I just wanted to also get advice from hobby vegetable gardeners themselves.

Thank you for your time:)


Leave plenty of room between your rows or plants. Your garden may look thin at first but the pay-off will be great. Fertelize every two weeks, water every two or three days,and good luck . Oh ya,dont forget to weed!!
