Beautiful Patio Fire Pit Set - What is It? and Do I Need One?

When looking out into the back yard, do you see a waste land of unused open space that has not been tapped?  Or, is the backyard a perfectly groomed masterpiece with curved flower beds and green lush grass that does not get used but by your trusty dog or the neighbor's cat?  Well get in and put on the seat belt cause that's all going to change.  Fall is a coming and the outside temperature is going to drop to something called comfortable.  So let's figure this out.

A patio fire pit set is a commercial term used in the preconditioning of you as a consumer to spend more money.  A set implies a non-singular item.  That means in retail talk let's get them to buy more stuff. Now I know we need to support the economy to help American manufacturing and your locally owned business, but we do not need to get too carried away.  An outdoor patio fire pit is a place you can put wood with a little charcoal starter and have an almost instant blaze.  That right there is a step in the right direction.  You might want to have a place to sit down and get comfortable to enjoy your newly acquired skill of combustion.  This is where the word set comes in.  Chairs around something, this is not a novel concept. 

So we need something to sit on is OK.  What we sit on can be, well anything.  I have been known to turn over a five gallon bucket and be just fine.  Maybe we need to elevate the ambience so the wife and the neighbors will have a more enjoyable time watching your creation of flame and smoke.  Maybe we could use some already existing lawn chairs or an end of a picnic table. However you like it, or make your decisions to take pleasure in this conception of a raw nature experience is just fine. 

Just remember now you have created this icon of pleasure in your backyard, the burden will be on you to ever increase the grandeur of this spectacle.  Put a patio fire pit in the backyard with pride and take pleasure in your latest addition.

New Do You Need Gardening Advice

Garden advice isn't that tough to come by.  As a matter of fact, you can acquire gardening advice from other nurserymen, in a horticulture catalogue, gardening books, gardening mags, and also on the Net.  Although you'll get variations on each plant, there's a lot of gardening advice that's general and applies any plant.

For instance, the gardening advice needed for planting is pretty much uniform.  You must place plantings where they'll get room to grow so they don't overcrowd one another.  Good airflow is a plus, and plantings must be in a place where they'll obtain sufficient quantities of sunshine.  Advice will forever assure you to add some sort of nutrients to the soil to induce greater plant development, such as mulch or compost.  

Gardening advice on watering crops is a bit more diversified, since each type of plant calls for different measures of water.  E.g., you wouldn't need to water a cactus near as much as you water a tomato plant.  How often you water can obviously also count on where you reside, the climate, and how often it rains in your region.  

Gardening advice from virtually every reference will state to you that your plants not only require plant food when you set about planting them, they'll also need to be fed throughout their growth season.  What variety of fertilize applied can depend upon the soil content and pH balance, but plant food will definitely be necessary on most of your plants.  Compost could be applied as an alternative and it's easy to get advice about how to build a compost heap also when fertilizer and compost needs to be applied.

Gardening advice on weeds, insects, disease, and how to do away with them are likely the most sought advice altogether in gardening.  These pests intrude on all gardens and if you do not eliminate them, they'll take over and destroy your garden.  There is a lot of different chemicals and pesticides which could be applied, and gardening advice can normally hint nurserymen in on which chemicals are best, which are bad, and which ones are simpler to use.

Best of 4 Considerations You Need to Incorporate in Your Hen House Design

Designing and building a chicken coop can be a complex process.  Especially if you don't work as a Drafter, or Carpenter.  So, to make things easier, let's go over just 4 things that will help you along in this process. 

The 4 things we will discuss are:

maintenance
yard space
protection from the elements
Proper ventilation

These 4 topics should get you closer to a proper hen house design.

1. Maintenance

A well designed hen house will make maintenance a snap.  Design your house so it has easy access from the outside.  You will need a large access door to clean inside the coop, smaller access doors to the nesting boxes so you can collect eggs, and a small door to allow your hens access to the outside.  Also possibly windows to allow for light and ventilation.

2. Yard Space

Make sure you have adequate space in your yard.  If you are building your hen house in a back yard, don't go overboard.  To many hens in a small area is never a good idea.  Make sure you plan ahead.  If you have a small backyard 2 to 4 hens is plenty.  You will get approximately 1 to 3 eggs a day and the amount of hens won't be unmanageable for your yard.  If you need a compact chicken solution think about raising bantam hens.  They are easily half the size of a regular hen.

3. Protection From The Elements

Make sure that you place your hen house out of any constant wind.  I have seen some solutions where the hen house is built into the side of an existing building, keeping the flock out of the wind.  The sun is also a consideration.  It's a good idea to create a section of your house or run that is shaded so your chickens can get out of the sun.  Or place the house in a naturally shaded area.   

4. Proper Ventilation

Make sure you put in proper ventilation.  This will help to keep your hens cool in the summer but also allow fresh air in during the winter.  Ventilation can come in many forms.  You can use metal nail in vents, windows, or wire mesh.  It doesn't matter what kind you use, what matters is that you incorporate it into your house.  It's a major ingredient to having happy hens.

While not an exhaustive list of considerations, maintenance, yard space, protection from the elements, and proper ventilation, are important considerations when designing a hen house.
