Embedded lighting or even small stand alone lights can highlight pathways throughout the landscape. The plants can be showcased and flooded with lighting depending on size and location. Any pond can be lit up with flood lights or have the border highlighted to gain a viewers attention.

Beautiful Solar garden Lighting

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Almost anybody who has a yard or a garden has at one time or another wanted to install decorative lighting. When they’re selected and installed properly, lighting up a garden with solar lights can add a touch of style and class. Also, any walkway will benefit from the beauty and attractiveness of such lighting. Small gardens in a back or front yard, too, can derive a benefit. And today, they’re easier to install than ever before.

Lighting up the yard used to be expensive. Back before new solar power technologies were developed, a person had to dig trenches, and pay for pricey electrical conduit piping. Also, power had to be run from the house to every light in the yard circuit. Maintenance could be a hassle, and the home’s electrical energy bills would certainly increase. The advent of stand-alone solar lighting units which can be added where needed has changed all that.

Energy savings are an attractive feature. Nowadays, solar lighting and garden lighting using solar technologies are a high priority for most anyone who desires a bit of outdoor light-type elegance in their gardens and landscaped yard areas. And because our sun provides all the energy needed, there’s practically little cost after the initial purchase and installation of these units.

Plants And There Needs

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I am building another lamplight greenhouse, so I can expand my study of roses under artificial lighting. I had some very astounding results from cuttings made during the winter and, believe it or not, several are blooming at this very moment in the garden.

My failures were also ever present, but from each 1 learned a lesson, be it in rooting mediums, temperature, hardening off, or what- ever problems beset the indoor gardener. One thing I do know is that it works if you know how to properly balance the lights and take certain other precautions.

I bought a dormant rose the second week in March, planted it in a pot and set it alongside my propagating box under lights. On April 27 I cut my first rose of the year, and I believe the first one in this area. It caused quite a commotion. When I told people I raised it in a basement they said I was “nuts.” The rose had never seen daylight until it was cut and brought out of the house.
