How does your garlic grow?
Article Abstract:
Garlic is a vital ingredient in many different types of cooking across the world, and is also highly valued for its therapeutic properties. It is extremely easy to grow. It is best to plant garlic from late October to late November, as it benefits from a long growing season. It is advisable to set the cloves initially into pots if the soil is heavy and poorly drained, with the final planting out being undertaken early the following spring. Garlic is best included in a rotation of crops, in order to avoid disease.

Somewhere there is a lawnmower just for you
Article Abstract:
There are many different types of lawnmower to choose from, and selecting the right one can be difficult. It is important to buy one which is appropriate for the size of garden in which it is to be used. A rotary or hover mower is usually quite adequate for a small garden, while a cylinder mower is best for lawns which need to be cut very short and where appearance is very important. A hover mower is easy to manoeuvre, and is therefore useful in a garden where there are many tight corners.

Don't get needled by your Christmas tree
Article Abstract:
Sales of real Christmas trees reached 5 million in the UK in 1996, with all but 7% of these having been grown in the UK. The Norway spruce still accounts for around two-thirds of sales, but other varieties are now becoming more widely available. The Nordmann and Noble firs are less likely to shed their needles than the Norway spruce, but are more expensive because they are slower-growing. It is vital to avoid buying a tree with needles that seem to have begun drying out.
