One of the Easiest (and Coolest) DIY Water Features

In just one afternoon, you can build this easy and super cool pondless water fountain. What’s so interesting about this is that the basin is “invisible” so it looks like water from the fountain is just seeping into the ground. Detailed instructions can be found on my blog at http://www.prettypurpledoor.com/easy-diy-water-feature/
Steps to create this pondless fountain
Cost: This project should cost you a total of $75 – $100 depending on what materials you need to purchase. You may have some of these items at home, already! If you decide to go with a solar pump, it will be more expensive ($200 — $250).
Dig a hole to fit your basin. I actually built my fountain inside a raised garden bed, which worked out great…. A lot less digging. But, you can put this anywhere. Just make sure that you bury the basin but keep the top of the basin level with the ground so that you can set the grill on top at exactly ground level.Put your basin into the hole and backfill the outside to make sure it’s nice and secure.Assemble your pump and place it at the bottom of the basin.Cover the pump with cheesecloth or a food cloche and then place some rocks/stones along the edges to hold the mesh down so it doesn’t float away when you fill the basin with water. Like I said, this is an optional step but it seems to make a lot of sense and will keep any debris from getting into your pump and causing it to clog up.
Place metal grate on top of basin level with the ground. Make sure it overlaps the edge of the basin so that any rocks or other items you place around the fountain won’t fall in.Once your grill is in place, cover the grate with the hardware cloth (screen). This is basically chicken wire, and adds an extra layer of support for any rocks. Since

Florida Weave For Tomatoes – The Easiest Way To Trellis
Some of the best tasting tomatoes grow from vines. These semi-determinate to indeterminate fruits have no stopping point at the ends of the stems. This leads to tangled drooping stems if they are not supported. One successful way to make sure the fruit is above the soil is by using the Florida weave trellis. The Florida weave is a common field technique for trellising tomatoes. This method keeps vines upright, and fruit away from ground contact.

Pools, ponds and rills: a garden designer's guide to water features | House & Garden
I've had no end of people asking me if I’ve seen the natural pool episode of Grand Designs — where a couple in Chichester build a daring new house with a kitchen that sits overlooking a beautiful big swimming pond. The lucky owners can walk straight off their decking into clean, chemical-free water and swim completely immersed in nature. It seems it’s really caught people’s imaginations.
