So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Water Gardening - Pond Pumps To Pump Up The Volume

By Jett Wheatley


The sounds of the water from your backyard feature and the effect it can have on you is an experience not to be missed. Pump up the volume with the sound of splashing water. For instance listen to the sound of running bath water and to the constant dripping of a tap - which can be annoying to say the least. However, if we change the word dripping to trickling and replace the word running with flowing then that is another kettle of fish (excuse the pun if you have a pond.)

A water garden feature may sound beautiful to the eyes and ears only if you consider its look and sound while buying the garden ornamentation.

Fountains and waterfalls are most favorable among gardeners. Before engaging in the structure of water garden features as such then you need to remember - these type of features actually oxygenate and freshen the water with the constant ongoing movements. If you have fish in the pool of your fountain/waterfall then they will love the lively waters - but water plants like lilies and lotus may suffer because of this. Plants as such prefer stillness and may well be hampered in flourishing in action packed waters.

You will find your venture very successful and easier to inculcate if you carefully think and plan the needs of your water garden. You can even have both the fish and plants in your action packed waters. The aquatic life can enjoy the water garden feature if you choose to surround the landscaping of water with pretty shrubs rather than using floating plants in the water. This option is also very helpful cost-wise because you don't have to stick on to a particular plant type if you are not going to float it inside the water.

Another suggestion is to erect a mini replica of your feature to the side of the larger garden fixture with no pump action and have floating plants there. Water movements are very important to give off an effect which is relaxing to listen too and attractive to look at. Circulating swirls are fabulous water moves.

Carrying a DIY book is a wiser method while implementing such projects. The water garden suppliers also serve as a great source of information.

The working of the 2 basic pumps like submersion and surface pump can be learnt using the gardening books. The surface pumps are simply encapsulated in a container that is placed in proximity to a pool in which the fountain is watered with polythene tubes. It is often much easier to install this type of pump than you assume.

The submersible pump for the water garden may sound easier to use if you follow the alternative methodology. Because only a reduced amount of plumbing is required in this method. Also, the submersible pumps are invisible. Since these type of pumps cannot be seen as its submerged inside the water, the sounds are also not heard.

There is a popular saying - something that is out of sight is completely out of mind. However, it is not so because of the amount of beauty that is created out of the submersible pump.
