DIY Solar Deck Lighting

A quick way to add lighting to your deck (with no wiring!)
I got a load of these «At Home» (the store). I chose the stainless steel tops for the contrasting look during the day.
I cut off the nipple that slides into the stake to lower the globe on the deck. It's not necessary but looks nicer. I used an electric grinder. You can use a Dremel too. You must cut square to the globe to get a nice vertical look when installed. You can clean up slight errors with sandpaper.
Many have suggested skipping this step by using larger 1/2" holes in the deck for the nipple, but I was after something with less damage should I ever want to remove them — or sell the house.
When attaching to your deck, pre-drill your hole and use a screwdriver, not a cordless drill — otherwise you'll break the globe. I use a #8 stainless wood screw 3/4" long
Remove the battery tab and assemble the light module on top of the globe
Here's the light shining about dusk. The globe makes a nice pattern on the deck rail.
I put one light above each 4x4 on my deck
If you're careful, you can cut the base of the globe tube at an angle for your stair rail

Reducing weeds: a 101 on soil solarization, with sonja birthisel
AN ARTICLE about soil solarization for weed control, the practice of covering beds or fields with plastic to keep down unwanted plants, caught my attention in the summer of 2018. It was published on the Cooperative Extension’s online home called eXtension.org and was written by University of Maine doctoral candidate, and she was my guest that winter on my radio show and podcast.

Use Dollar Store Vases To Create Outdoor Lighting
I love solar lighting around my patio area in the summer but sometimes the ones you can purchase aren't very pretty or cost too much for me. I decided to spruce them up with some dollar store vases. These end up costing $2 per light (not including the markers) but look so much better than the dollar lights.

How to Make a DIY Fairy Light Tree With String Lights
Many of us wish we could have outdoor lights glowing year-round; sadly, knotted electric cords and high energy bills hold us back. Thankfully, technology has advanced. Today, I’d like to share how I made a DIY fairy light tree with Starbright’s solar-powered string lights that could stay on year-round. Having solar-powered lights eliminates the need for long electric cords. This project was sponsored by Starbright.

DIY Deck Skirting
Whenever we would sit on our finished patio, all we could see was the eye-sore of our under deck. We didn’t like the look of traditional lattice but decided we needed to do something. We came across the idea to use wood slats and fell in love! This was an easy project that made a big impact on our outdoor space.
