Goodway Landscape News :
Not everybody puts outdoor lighting into their design, but most people
want it. Having a nightscape can make all of the difference after a
long day. The lighting allows you to enjoy your landscape even after
the sun goes down, as most people are out on weekdays. It's like having
two landscapes for the price of one! We install path lights to
illuminate walkways and planter areas, spot lights that aim for the
trees and niche lighting for custom spaces e.g. decks, arbors,
staircases, bench's. A well-planned nightscape can provide for a really
elegant ambience and Goodway Landscape is happy to provide this for our
customers.

Water deeply

The best way to water is to apply it at a rate that the soil will
absorb without runoff. It must be able to saturate the soil many feet
below the surface. Drought-adapted plants grow deep root systems, able
to access moisture far underground after surface soil has dried out.
This quality can also be encouraged in more thirsty plants to make them
healthy and as water thrifty as possible. The result is you water less
often, and the water you do apply is used much more efficiently.

The Azalea and Camellia fertilizer is best for plants that
prefer acidic growing conditions like azaleas, rhododendrons,
blueberries, gardenias and evergreens.

Monrovia Organics Starter Fertilizer is ideal for helping establish
new plantings. It’s a carefully crafted mix with natural source
phosphorous to help plants develop fully. We emphasize it to encourage
strong roots in young transplants. This gentle organic fertilizer is
formulated for all types of transplanting.

Fertile soil is dark in color because it contains organic matter – the
decomposing remains of plants. When fully decomposed it becomes humus,
a form that plants can use. Examples of humus are compost, composted
steer manure, ground peat and leaf mould. Adding lots of humus will
reward you by producing faster growth on more beautiful plants and
flowers

There are hundreds of different types of algae, but they can
basically be classified as either green water algae, or string algae.
Our goal in teaching you to maintain your water garden is to limit the
algae growth and keep it at a highly manageable, optimal level. Some
algae will always be there (a little on the rocks and gravel is
great!), but we like to do away with the string algae once the Koi have
had an opportunity to nibble a bit.

Start small.

The very first step in going greener would be to water wisely and use organic pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic gardening is growing without the use of petrochemical
pesticides, herbicides and inorganic fertilizers that pollute our soil
and water. It relies on the use of beneficial insects, diversity of
plants, and the use of compost to supply the soil with nutrients. There
are more and more organic pesticides and fertilizers on the market
everyday. Even if you only use a few organic products and techniques,
you'll be helping.
