Garden Curves the Easy Way!

Hello everyone. With gardening now in full swing many people like myself have decided to make a new flower bed. I wanted a bed that had soft flowing curves to it. To mark off my bed and get an idea of how big it would be I used several garden hoses stretched out in the shape I wanted my bed to be. After deciding the shape was what I wanted, I took some sand and ran it beside the hose to leave a line after I moved the hose. Next I took a shovel and dug along side of the sand line to make a more permanent border. After that it was easy to roundup the area I did not want grass in and remove the grass and break up the the soil. A tip on the roundup is to use a brush and paint it on areas where you are afraid of over spray! This helps become very selective and keeps the spray off of tender growth of bushes that may be near by. Have fun with you new curved flower beds!!!

Making Flavored Water for Half the Price!!!

I love the flavored waters that you can buy, but often find that the price of the water does not match the money in the pocketbook. If you too like the special waters here is an easy way to make them yourself. Just take any of the instant water mixes like lemonade with the sugar or sugar substitute and double the water it takes to make them!! You get great flavored waters at a fraction of the cost.. Its easy to make and taste great too!
