Lawn Installation Made Easy
Maybe you've just moved into a new house, and you want to make your lawn beautiful, or maybe you've owned your home for years and want to give your property a facelift. Whatever your reason, a beautiful lawn can add value to your property and provide enjoyment for years to come. Lawn installation can seem like a daunting task, but with a little forethought, you can install a beautiful lawn that won't be a pain to maintain.
First, there are two different processes for installing a lawn-seed and sod. Seeding a lawn means that you spread grass seed over your existing soil. While this may sound like an option that will save money in the short term, your lawn will be susceptible to weed growth and erosion. The grass will also take time to grow, so your lawn will not be beautiful right away. Putting down a layer of sod with grass already growing on it. The sod method of lawn installation, while it can be more expensive, saves time as the grass is already green and growing. You can purchase sod grass in sheets, squares or rolls. Whichever method you choose, take the time to plan out your lawn before you begin purchasing supplies.
Once you have decided which method you will use. do some research on types of grass that flourish in your area so that you find a grass that suits the soil, sun exposure, and rainfall of your area. Local grasses are a hardy and beautiful option because they are already suited to the climate in your area. Now that you have chosen a method of lawn installation and a type of grass, you need to measure the area where you want to install the lawn. The measurements of your new lawn will determine how much sod or grass seed you will need. After you have planned out your new lawn, the installation process can begin.
If you are using the seed method of lawn installation, you must first you must prepare the ground for your new lawn by pulling out weeds and removing rocks. You can rent a rotary tiller from your local hardware store or tractor supply. Use the rotary tiller to turn the soil for your new lawn. You can also pre-fertilize your lawn using compost or other fertilizers. You can spread the seeds by hand, but your new lawn will be more even if you use a seed spreader. Make sure and water the grass seeds as much as possible after seeding.
If you are using the sod method, you need to buy the appropriate square footage of sod from a sod farm or a lawn and garden store. When looking for sod, there are several things to keep in mind. First, make sure the sod has moist roots and doesn't fall apart easily. Second, the sod shold have only green grass. Once it is installed, water your sod as much as you would grass seeds. Whichever method you choose, lawn installation doesn't have to be too complicated. With a little planning, you can create a beautiful lawn.

Most gardeners are happy to share their tomato growing tips and even non-gardeners who attempt to grow tomatoes every spring will offer advice. The difficulty for the novice tomato grower comes in trying so sort the valuable vegetable gardening tips for tomato growing from the old wives' tales.
One of the best sources for vegetable gardening help is a local nursery. Buying plants at a supermarket or a chain store with garden center may allow you to purchase plants at a cheaper price, but it is unlikely that the staff in these stores know a great deal about gardening. For reliable vegetable gardening help, visit a local nursery. Many nurseries carry plants that they themselves have grown from seed, and they will be knowledgeable about each variety of plant and can advise on local conditions.

Once you've gained some gardening knowledge it's time to get your hands dirty.
Tomatoes and other vegetables are easy to grow if you start with good soil. Before you plant your garden, till the soil to about a depth of ten inches and dig in some well rotted compost or other organic material. Complete this step several weeks before you want to plant your tomatoes.
For a larger garden, you can rent a tiller, but for a small garden space you can use a gardening fork to dig in the compost.
When risk of frost has passed, drive a ¾ inch stake into your prepared garden bed. Dig a hole a little deeper and wider than the size of the tomato plant's pot next to the stake, gently place the plant into the hole and firm it in. A trellis or tomato cage can also be used for support in lieu of a stake. These are readily available at nurseries and hardware stores. Use soft twine or tomato ties to tie the plant's stem loosely to the stake or trellis. As the tomato plant grows, check the ties regularly and loosen them occasionally to prevent stem damage. The tomato seedlings should be planted 18 inches apart to allow the sun to reach the ripening fruit.
Feed Your Tomato Plants
Feed your tomato plants regularly using a potassium-based plant food or you can create your own organic fertilizer mix. Planting basil adjacent to your tomato plants will assist in keeping pests at bay.
Watering is as important as feeding. Water your tomatoes regularly with a hand-held hose. Direct the water at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the leaves which can lead to rot.
Never let your tomatoes dry out to the point that they wilt. Although you can usually save the wilted plant by watering it, the dry period will take its toll on the plant and affect the quality of the fruit. Extended dry spells may cause your tomatoes to crack.
Regularly nip out by hand any side shoots that develop between the leaf and the stem. This will help to channel the plant's energy into its fruit. When your tomatoes have ripened, pick them by bending back the fruit at the notch on the stem. Ripe tomatoes can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Continue to water and feed the plant to help the remaining tomatoes to ripen and mature.
