The creation of a new garden always incurs considerable costs. While hard landscaping elements such as paving, steps and features water usually occupy most of the budget, the cost of garden plants is not cheap, at today's prices. However, at this point that many owners house, perhaps troubled by rising costs, are resisting the proposal to pay another $ 300 – $ 500 or less for one of the necessary steps to be taken before planting. The step is the professional soil test, which must be seen as an integral part of the process of creating a garden, or re-planting a large border.

In a soil test done by a professional and reputable, representative samples of soil taken to a laboratory for analysis, which aims is to gather accurate information on which decisions relating to issues such as procedures for irrigation, feeding regimes and the choice of plants are based. Much money can be saved, of course, by purchasing a test kit from their native land, through which valuable data can be collected. These kits are not certainly appropriate when relatively isolated issues are at stake, "is enough acid soil azaleas or hydrangeas? Or do I have to add fertilizer nitrogen? However, there are many other important issues that are generally outside the scope of a home computer, so while they may be complementary necessary toolbox for general maintenance, it is still desirable to carry out a professional test, when it is a large-scale project. What type of information then necessary before planting?

Soil type: The determination of whether a soil is predominantly clay or sandy soil, (the soil texture) has direct implications for irrigation practices and nutrition.

Nutrient levels: It can not be that much discovery to know that it is usually necessary to add nitrogen to the soil before planting, but dry weather many soils, phosphorus is present often in quantities that may be harmful to some plants.

Soil salinity: An increasingly common characteristics of the soils in dry climates is the high salt concentrations. This may have more drastic consequences for growth and development of garden plants, and perhaps most, to the soil's ability to maintain vegetation in the future. As fertilization and irrigation affects especially the concentrations of salt, professional advice on this subject, in my opinion is essential.

Soil pH: The acidity (low pH) or alkalinity (high pH) the soil is something that home test kits on the soil can be determined. Most soils and dry Mediterranean climate tend to be alkaline, which affects both the range of plants that can be chosen, and the availability of mineral nutrients plants. highly alkaline soils may be amended by adding sulfur-based products, while excessive acidity reduced by lime. While products business of giving instructions regarding the desired amount in relation to the pH of a soil, it is safest to consult a soil expert. A high pH, at a depth of, say 30-40cm, could the construction of rubble, buried in his plot kindness by building contractor!

Pathogens soil: a soil test should also detect the presence of perennial weeds harmful or pathogenic organisms such as nematodes in the root, which create chaos after the garden has been planted. Treatment of nematodes is normally beyond the jurisdiction of a gardener, and requires consultation with a specialist in soils.

Drainage: This can be verified by the owner of the house alone. If rain water standing in pools of more than a couple of hours, then you should take steps to improve drainage. The help of a professional gardener should be sufficient.

history of bonsai

history of bonsai

Bonsai is the Japanese art of cultivating miniature trees, restricting the growth of the plant through pruning and various cultivation techniques. As part of the culture technique (also known as the process of training), future Bonsai trees are grown in containers or trays to limit the growth of roots and provide easy access for pruning or plant configuration as desired. The method of Bonsai can take years before a final tree is complete and requires constant care for the tree to remain in the size and shape of desire. Bonsai trees are often confused with stunting or dwarf trees. In Indeed, the two processes are completely different in their approach to the creation of miniature trees.

In dwarfism, the effect of miniature trees is obtained through selective breeding or genetic. In selective breeding, the units that are smaller than the sample size than normal couple to create a model smaller than average. This process continues until there is a race of the sample in the desired size. The other method of dwarfing in plants is genetic engineering. In genetic engineering, genes that inhibit growth or provide miniature features are spliced into the genome of the desired sample. Genetic engineering modify the genes on a microscopic level, while selective breeding modifies the genes looking for macroscopic effects. The end result is a miniature version of the desired part with all the desired aesthetic retained.

Depriving a plant-specific hormones during the growth process can also cause dwarfism the sample. However, the lack of hormones can result in the sample dwarf and displaying some of the aesthetics or the desired size. Practice or experience is the best way to control the final result when using the approach of the hormone. In fact, creating miniature trees screen, the method is not used hormonal normally.

Both are dwarf bonsai art and ways to grow many different species of miniature plants and trees. What process is used, the result end is a miniature version of a tree or a larger plant. At this point, the dwarf tree / plant has some significant advantages to a Bonsai tree. Once the dwarf tree is developed to the desired size, there is little maintenance (irrigation, ie, removing dead branches, etc. ..) needed to sustain the tree. However, the bonsai tree requires continuous pruning and cultivation to maintain the desired size and shape. If you are not prepared, this can result in death or tree debris Bonsai. The Bonsai tree method is essentially a larger commitment of time and resources.

Therefore, if the desired miniature tree is one of the can be served with water supply and general maintenance, a dwarf tree is the appropriate selection. However, if you want a miniature tree that reflects your personality and not a hobby for life, the Bonsai tree is the appropriate selection. In any case, the miniature trees have been a source of beauty and wonder in private gardens and arboreta public for decades and will add a finishing touch to any dà © cor.

Bonsai is often confused with dwarfing, but dwarfing more accurately refers to researching and creating cultivars of plant material that are permanent, genetic miniatures of existing species. Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees, but rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds.
