Types of Fencing for your Yard and Gardens

Zig Zag Fences With Plants To
Embellish 

Types and Examples Of Garden Fences

Fencing can be a beautiful piece of art.  Wrought Iron is made in many sizes and contours.  Wood Fences can be painted any color you wish and have various tops you can choose from.  They can be as simple as a picket fence to as private as a Stockade type of fence. Oh and we cannot forget the beautiful stone fences you see around the countryside.

       

 

Hedges are a type of fence that allows nature to peek in and out of and can house many kinds of small animals from birds to bunnies.  In this article I will discuss these types of fences and give you some ideas as to the beauty of some and some that have a purpose besides just being a boundary to your property.

Evergreen Border Fence

Spruce Privacy Fencing

Before planning your fence and fencing needs it is best if you first of all check your property boundaries, Zoning Laws and your Neighborhood’s Covenants.   You do not want to encroach on your neighbor’s property.  That could lead to court costs if they do not like the type of fence you choose and is encroaching onto their property.  Usually there is a right of way between boundaries and it would be advised to stay on your side of that right of way.

Man-Made Fencing

Stockade Fence

The Stockade fence was once popular for forts and such and was used for protection from outside forces. Today it has changed into providing privacy from the outside world. They can be left natural or painted and they come in other materials other than wood. The plastic fencing in these allows for a much longer life expectancy of the fence

Picket Fence and
backside of a Stockade Fence

Picket fences are cute and are used in many neighborhoods around the smaller yards of homes found there.  They can be painted to match the colors of the house it surrounds or left untreated.  Most of the ones that I have seen are painted white.  They can be straight across or in a swag type top.  With the invention of plastic they also come in that material as well.

Split Rail Fence

Split Rail fencing is a simple and economical fence.  It requires little maintenance.  It can have as little as one tier or up to 5 depending on what you are enclosing in that fenced area.  I have seen people attach Chicken Wire or other Wired Fence onto the back of this fence to provide extra protection for their animals.  It is pretty and functional.

Wooden with Wire Fence

Wood and Woven Wire are the most popular here in my area where there are many farms that need the protection from Deer eating their crops to keeping in their small pigmy goats to horses and cattle.  They look simple and easy to set up and maintain.  Most are not painted but I have seen some that are.  I guess it all depends on how much work you want to invest in maintaining them.

Living Fences

These are the most decorative and yet functional fences that I have seen.  You can have them structured or supported on another type of fence or you can have them stand alone. Trees and hedges are used as stand-alone fences to divide your property up or enclose it for privacy.  They can be a creative as you can imagine.

Some plants that make great stand-alone living fences include:  Boxwoods, Forsythia, Poplar Trees, Spruce Trees, any dwarf trees such as Dwarf Burning Bush, Bush-type Roses, Butterfly Bushes, Privet hedges, Douglas Fir, Spireas, Siberian Elm and lots more.  These have no need for support.

There are so many plants that you can use for supported fences these days.  You can have fruits and vegetables to flowing vines and non-flowering vines.  You will have many birds and small animals live, grow and reproduces in these.  Nature will astound and abound in these fences. 

Some Plants That You Can Use  

Grapes.  Plant a crop of low
growing vegetables
under the gaps of the grapes

Blackberries or other climbing,
vine-like fruits for a thick
fence for all to enjoy.

Fruits such as Berries can be grown on supports such as Blackberries and Raspberries.  Honey Suckle is another great vine that can be grown on fences and look very beautiful in your garden or yard. They also have a very sweet scent that will waft in the air in the summer.

These Tomatoes grew way taller than
this could handle and would be a good crop
along a 4-6 tall fence.

Vegetables that you can also grow on fences are: Zucchini,  Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Beans and Peas, Cantaloupes and small varieties of melons, Gourdes too and the selections of these are almost endless. 

Beans have tiny stie flowers.
Plant seeds 3 weeks apart
for a longer season.

Mandevilla

Flowering Vines Any vine, climbing or trailing plant can be used such as; Mandevilla, Clematis, Climbing Roses, Morning Glories, Nasturtium,  Bittersweet and Bougainvillea, Passionflower, Trumpet Vine, Winter Creeper just to name a few.  Wisteria is a very pretty vine but requires lots of care and pruning.

Boston Ivy

Non-Flowering Vines: the most popular is the Boston Ivy.  You can also use Climbing Euonymus and it serves another purpose as a screen when you want to hide other parts of your yard.  Grape Vines also work here and are evergreen. Grape Vines, if they get enough sun. will produce grapes.

Your fence does not have to be plain or drab.  With the many ways that I have listed here you can have color, food and functionality all at the same time.  You can even mix them up.  Vegetables have beautiful flowers too and can be grown with other flowering or non flowering plants.

Bushes such as: burning bushes, plus lilac and rhododendron also are a nice natural fence

Block and Boards Fence
Blocks and Boards put int the holes
of the Cinder Blocks.  Blocks are painted a Brick Color.

Gardening Naturally - Pest and Diseases Eliminatoin

Home Made Defences Against Diseases and Pests In Your Gardens

Many people love gardening. Those of use who love to garden get a distinct pleasure from it.  With all the chemicals that are put on or in our foods from the supermarket and in the vast majority of farms run by the governments
 we try to do our part and live a healthy Organic life.  With gardening there comes problems with things such as animals that devour our very own vegetables and flowers as well.  Then there are bugs that also like to munch on our hard work and labor intensive gardens.  There are many chemicals out there on the market that will get rid of just about anything you may have a problem with in your gardens.  Some of us would just like to do it all the Natural Way and here are some of those ways.

Discouraging Critters 

Garlic and Pepper Spray

Now we get to the good stuff and how to deter the critters from eating your tasty vegetables, fruits and flowers. Thought these are hard to control you can use this spray on dry days.  The best way is to put up a deterrent such as fencing.

You can sprinkle everyday Cayenne Pepper on your plants and around them. One taste of this hot stuff sends the critters away. I used this one year and it took 2 years before the deer came back to my gardens again. Same with any other critter, including my cats.

The tulle or netting also deters them as well and I don't know if it is the smell of the sizing or just the look or the feel, but they don't seem to like it much. Yo can also sprinkle some on the netting if you want. It will sift down to your plants. The only thing with this is that you would have to put another sprinkling on it after it rains and dries up. I have had good results with this method.

You can make a spray to and I have used it on every single plant that I have planted and I live in the woods where deer and other forest creatures are plentiful. Don't store this stuff in the sprayer because for some reason after a day of this being stored my sprayer stopped working. Store the liquid in a glass jar. You don't want any animals getting into it. It won't harm them, but it will make them uncomfortable fore a while.

You will need to get the minced garlic in the jars because you are going to use the juice that is in it. Get a jar of Texas Hot Sauce--the hottest you can get. Mix 1 teas each in 2 cups of water. This kills sucking d chewing insects and critters like Rabbits, Deer and any other ones that happen along in your garden don't like the smell or the taste of it.

Some have swore by Irish Spring Soap.  Just tie some up around your garden area and it will discourage deer and other animals.  I have heard of Cedar Chip shavings to deter rabbits and such.
Another good thig to do is give those animals that love you garden a garden of their own or lay out an area and put their favorite foods in there just for the.  Deer and Rabbits alike love apples.  Check around your farm markets and see if they sell what is called "deer Apples".  They are relatively inexpensive.

Other Home Made Concoctions

Glue Mixture

This will kill aphids. spider mites and scale insects. Use this on woody plants such as trees. Dissolved 1 quarter pound of animal or fish glue in 1 gallon of water. Brush This on the plants, not forgetting about the undersides of them. The insects fall off when the liquid has dried and will flake off.

Green Soap Spray

Be care with this because if you leave it on too long it will kill your plants. Mix 1 cup GREEN Soap tincture in 3 gallons of Hot water.or 1 tablespoon of Laundry Detergent (No bleach) in 1 gallon of Hot water. Let Cool then Spray on Plants. If you use this you need to have some fresh water handy so you can rinse off the plants right after using this spray.

Buttermilk and Flour Spray

This kills mites by suffocating them. Mix 1/2 cup Buttermilk and 4 cups of Wheat Flour to 5 Gallons of water. Spray on plants.

How I Recycled 2 Wheelbarrows Into Beautiful Gardens

Just think about how people use things around the house to make gardens with.  Ever wonder how to do that?  It's easy if you have all the things that you need right in your own back yard.  Don't go buying things that you may already have sitting around collecting dust or spider webs.  Recycle, Reuse and Repurpose them

My Inspiration

Moving up to the west side of a mountain full of rocks, shale and roots gave me a chance for me to do what I love to do and that is gardening.  Only  what I have found was lots of roots and rock and shale in this ground that we have.  It is very difficult to work with.  Digging up the shale is difficult at best with a simple hand shovel.  All it seems to do is give you slivers of rock when you hit it or try to dig it up.  I spend a good half hour digging up a rock about the size of a soft ball one day.  Each time the I tried to dig a piece out I would only get a sliver out at a time.  The dirt or top soil as gardeners like to call it is only about 1/2 inch thick.  Not good for gardens.  Not the kinds that I wanted to make.  So the obvious way to make a garden is to raise them up with whatever we had/have on hand here.  

We aquired a couple of wheelbarrows and I gave my husband a couple of years to do something with them.  

Finally my husband couldn't stand those rusted wheel barrows sitting in back of the wood pile. They were missing some parts and it was too expensive to fix them and we had no funds to purchase new ones. He was trying to figure out a way to take them to the recycling center, but really couldn't fit them into the trunk of the car. I was watching one of my gardening shows and on one of them it was describing how to make planters out of various containers. Oh Ha! I got the idea of what to do with those old wheelbarrows! I was going to make them into gardens and this is how I did it.

This is the slope of our land.

Geography of Our Property

First let me say that my gardening is a bit difficult because of the slope and type of soil that we have. It is also difficult to grow anything that needs full sun for the entire day or that won't run off into the ravines and or small stream that runs behind our lot.  Many people think because of the leaves that drop every year and decompose into the soil that we have good top soil. We thought this too, but it is not so. When it rains and it can rain for many hours the water does not soak into the soil. We have about 1/2 inch at the most of top soil layering over shale and roots of trees. This is why I have many raised gardens and I have to buy dirt. Many gardeners think it is funny when I tell them that I have to BUY my Dirt. LOL

How I Made Gardens From Wheelbarrows

• First I dragged the wheel barrows to the part of the yard where I thought they would look nice.  Dragged because they had no wheels on them. I chose plants that would grow out and runneth over the sides.

• I cleaned them out of all spider webs and egg sacs.Then I drilled a few holes in the bottom of the wheelbarrow so that the excess water could drain.
• After drilling the holes in the bottom, add some gravel for drainage. Top that off with some Garden Soil or Potting Soil and then arrange your plants and then plant them.I went to the store and bought some plants that I thought would look nice in them. I also love Primroses and had them at another time and my dog ran one day and in the process his lead that he was on sheared off the Primroses I had planted in an old cut down tree stump killing all my beautiful primroses. So I got some this time and planted them in the Red wheelbarrow.

For the black wheel barrow I decided to get Petunias, the WAVE to be exact as I know they will cover that wheelbarrow and then some. For a bit of an accent I also planted a Cork Screw Plant in the center of the petunias.

Gardening With Friends and Neighbors

CSA Farming

I was watching a cooking show on the TV today and it mentioned something called CSA Farming. A farmer does all the work while the local people buy shares into the farm and get baskets of food for a very nominal price. Some have it set up that local residents can help with the farming too.

Community Supported Agriculture can be a big boon to the local economic crisis. People are losing jobs and many cannot even drive long distances they need to get to the grocery stores. With all the hullabaloo of e-coli and other poisonings going on from crops grown and shipped in from over seas this concept could very well be the new future of fresh farming and locally grown produce. While local residents purchase home grown foods they also learn how to farm themselves and what goes into it. This way it is more healthy then going to the grocery store where you really don't know what is in or on your food.

Farmshare LTD, based out of CT says this is how their Farm Share works: Farm Share Ltd. works with local family farms to bring freshly harvested organic crops to your table. Our Farm Share^tm delivery service means you can participate in a CSA and support local farms without having to drive to a pick-up location. You can now enjoy weekly (in spring/summer/fall) or monthly (in winter) deliveries of organic and naturally grown produce from a small local farm directly to your door.

How My CSA worked in the 80's

I remember doing something similar to this back in my early 20's in the neighborhood that I lived in. It worked slightly different then the way that it is done using the CSA method. People rented out a plot of land that was offered by a local farmer or rented out empty house lots. I have heard of it being done on the tops of city apartment buildings to empty city lots that once were dirty and dangerous.

What the farmer did in our area was put many raised gardens in the space of the lot or farmers plot. These filled, raised garden were 3 feet high by about 8 - 12 feet long and 4 feet wide. It was a very workable space for anyone. We plowed/hoed, planted and tended our own gardens. Water, mulch and organic fertilizer were available for the most part and everyone had access to them. There was a monthly fee for the plot and I assume a fee for the use of mulch, and fertilizer and water use. At the time I thought it was exorbitant, but now many years later, it is a drop in the bucket.

Great Teen Activities

If you are looking for a good teen activities, this would be it. Teens usually get into this kind of thing. They have the freedom of creativity and taking ownership in what they produce. Most will even try eating these different vegetables. Aside from the creativity they also learn things like taking care of the earth and the healthy eating and lifestyle. Most teens learn by "hands on". Math, Spelling, Communication and all kinds of things they learn on paper would be more readily learned in this type of activity. Special Needs and Mentally Challenged Children and Adults would also do good with this type of activity.

Our Future  

The future of this nation depends on the farming of such. Farmers are having a difficult time keeping their lands and farms. The more we do this the more we loose valuable resources and keep us open to more economic downfall and the risk to our own health. 

I think we will be doing more of this in the coming years.  People are getting leery of what may be recalled because of e-coli and salmonella which comes from the supermarket.  Do we really know how  genetically engineered food will affect our bodies some years down the road?  Ask your local farmers market where they get their own produce they are selling. The reason why I say this is because one of our local farmer's market does not sell from the local area. He buys it from many states away.  I didn't know this until I asked.  I assumed because he had a local fruit and vegetable stand that he was a local farmer selling local produce.  I stopped buying from him.

We do have a pick your own farm, but the real treat is growing your own and the learning process that it includes.  Many do not have such a place to pick their own produce.  There is just something about working in a garden to release the stresses of the day.  You can grow things like Purple Tomatoes and Peppers and learn and grow Heirloom vegetables.  The creativity is amazing.

Gardening Throughout The Year 1

I found an old gardening calendar that has things that you can do every month of the year. In this article I will tell you what you can do each week of the month in the year so that you can be the best gardener you can and have many crops in one planting season. You will want to know when to lime and fertilize, plant what seeds when, take care of your strawberries, prune fruit trees and vines, make a high tunnel and much more.

For the convenience of reading and remembering I will break this down into three months each.  This part of the article is January through March.

January

January is a pretty cold month, you would think, but there are many things that you can do in the house that is garden related.  

Houseplants need care and this month you will need to increase humidity for them in your house. There is a simple way of doing this. Just get a large tray or plant saucers that are two sizes too big and fill it up with pea gravel.  Then fill that up to the top with water.  As the water evaporates it will humidify your plants. Also set your poinsettias in a sunny location.

Draw you plans for this year's garden. Review what has been done last year and make revisions if necessary. Rotating crops is good for the soil as it doesn't deplete all the same nutrients in the one location. This also stops erosion.

As far as outdoors, you will need to watch where you put that salt and chemicals. Make sure that it stays where you need it and not run off into the areas that you have your lovely plants. Salt and chemicals will damage any plant that it comes in contact with.

You will want to make sure all your gardening and power equipment is serviced and ready to go come planting time.  

If you haven't done so already you will need to order your lime and fertilizer for your lawn and gardens.

Did you know that lime kills fleas too! Spread it throughout the areas your pets are in. Please make sure they do not step on it until it has been washed into the soil or it will burn their pads on their paws.

February

One more month towards Spring!

This month there is a lot more to do in your lawn and preparations for your gardens.

The first week you will want to lime and fertilize your gardens. Mix the lime and the 10-10-10 fertilizer together and spread in all the areas you are planting or have grass. The snow and rain will soak it into the ground for you. One less thing you have to do come spring!

Order your fruit trees for planting when they come. Remember that Garden Plan you worked on last month, here is where you start putting into effect.. When the trees come you know where you are planting them, right. You will want to make sure because you will need to plant them as soon as they arrive.

Around the second week go ahead and order you High Tunnel. You can also make one of steel poles, plastic pipe or anything the bends. Just cover this with clear plastic and you are ready to go. You can make it as big as you want. Don't worry about the ends, you can either let the plastic hang there or make it into a door. Either way you will need to be able to open it when it gets really hot. This keeps the humidity inside so your plants will not dry up as much. You can also put tables in there with many different plants in them and use a drip watering system. This high tunnel can be moved around and taken down during the months it is not in use.

Grow some Herbs on your windowsills, seed Head Lettuce, Celery, Cauliflower indoors before Valentines day. After Valentines Day you seed Broccoli and Cabbage indoors, Seed Peas outside and start Onions and Greens in a cold frame.

Prune your Grapes, Deciduous trees, Shrubs and Blueberries around Mid-month. Apply dormant spray to your fruit trees at the end of the month.

March  

There is more to do this month and it is finally Spring at the end of the month! Are you getting anxious to plant stuff yet! I know I am.

Okay the first week you will need to seed you Kholrabi indoors, plant Onion sets, order your Strawberries, plant your broad leaf evergreens and prune Raspberries and your fruit trees. Now you can build your high tunnel!

2nd and 3rd weeks of March you will want to seed indoors: Leaf Lettuce, Spinach, Peppers, Swiss Chard, Eggplant and Turnips.

Also plant non flowering trees, shrubs and roses.

The last two weeks of March you will need to plant Peas, set out your Head Lettuce, Asparagus, Turnips, Radishes, Strawberry plants and Rhubarb.

Remember to fertilize your spring flowering bulbs, your Rhubarb and Asparagus beds.

Use row covers to help prevent freezing of your tender plants.

Now you can start controlling your dogwood with anthracnose at the end of the month.

Vegetable Gardening in Compact Spaces

This Garden was on our apartment terrace.
In the poll we had Brussel sprouts an many other vegetables. 

You can grow lots of vegetables in a apartment. All it takes is some ingenuity and imagination. Garden Centers and Seed Catalogs now have many fruits and vegetables geared to patios and small spaces where you can grow anything from Citrus and fruit trees to patio tomatoes and much more. Got a sunny window? Put a pot in it and plant some herbs. I have added some ideas that I used when I loved in an apartment for you. Even if you don't have access to land or that you live on land but can't plant anything on it you can use these ideas.

I had a patio that faced the southern sky. I bought me a child's wading pool and filled it with garden soil and planted all kinds of things in it. I had things like Tomatoes, Lettuce, Peppers, and even some Brussels Sprouts. Believe me if you get one the is deeper than 12 inches you can grow root crops like carrots, spring onions and things like that. If you don't have lots of sun get some Grow Lights and put them in all your lamps and light fixtures. It will make a difference. You can get them at any garden center. They are a bit expensive but they last long. Use your imagination.

LOL, My husband called our apartment "The Jungle" because I had plants all over the place.

What To Plant In Containers

Some plants don't need a lot of room to grow. Here is a list of vegetables and what they can be grown in:

These vegetables can be planted in 1 gallon or less pots:

1 Pint: Beets, Carrots, Mustard Greens, Radishes, and Spinach

1 Gallon: Chinese Cabbage, Lettuce, Onions and Standard Tomatoes.

These can be planted in 2 - 4 gallon containers:

Chives, The come back every year.

2 Gallon: Bush Beans, New Zealand Spinach. and Peppers

3 1/2 gallon: Swiss Chard

4 Gallon: Pole Beans

These can be planted in 5 gallon containers:

Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Kale, Summer Squash and Zucchini, Tomatoes (dwarf and Patio) and Turnips

These need 10 gallon containers:

Corn

Use things like old bath tubs,
sinks or anything with drainage

A large tub that you can get at any hardware store filled with dirt and a shelving board inserted into the middle of it and wire mesh put around the board will grow a salad garden. A large bag of garden soil will hold plants as well. All you need to do it cut crosses where you plant your plants. No need to empty it into anything. I use my Kitty Litter buckets (they don't sell them now) to grow my tomatoes and peppers in now.

What To Grow Where

Old Wheelbarrows can be good containers
for tomatoes or any vine type vegetables

Windowsills: Carrots, Cress, Lettuce, Mustard, Radishes, Spinach, Tomatoes and Zucchini

Balconies, Rooftops, or Window Boxes: Any of the above plus: Beans, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Corn, Cucumbers, Peppers, Potatoes, Squash, Tomatoes, Turnips and other root vegetables.

Indoor under Grow and or Fluorescent Lights: Beets, Carrots, Chinese Cabbage, Cucumbers, Endive, Onions, Radishes and Watercress.

Strawberry Jars are very pretty and can grow more than just strawberries in them. Us it for an herb garden in a sunny spot in your living room or kitchen.

There is absolutely no excuse why you can't have your own fresh grown vegetables in an apartment.
