Keeping your home in good condition is a crucial aspect of ownership that involves paying attention to every detail, including things that might easily be overlooked. Among these often-neglected items are the gutters that line the edge of your roof.
While it may seem insignificant at first glance, guttering plays a pivotal role in protecting the structural integrity of your home. Ensuring that these essential components are regularly checked and maintained can save you a significant amount of trouble and expense over time.
The exterior of a property is exposed to the elements, including rainfall, which, without proper management, can lead to a plethora of structural issues. This is where guttering comes into play, preventing rainwater from the roof directly hitting walls, windows, doors, and the foundation of your house.
By effectively diverting water away, gutters maintain the soil around your house at a stable moisture level, safeguarding the foundation. Without functional gutters, a home can suffer from erosion, basement flooding, and even foundation damage.
One of the primary reasons to maintain your guttering and keep it in optimal condition is to prevent water damage. When gutters are clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, they can’t efficiently lead water away from your home. This backlog can lead to water spillover, affecting the roof, siding, and foundation. In severe cases, water infiltration can contribute to mould and mildew growth, posing health risks to the occupants.
Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance ensures that water is appropriately channeled, safeguarding your home from these potential problems.
Unchecked and poorly maintained gutters can also wreak havoc on your roof. Clogs

The Dos and Don’ts of Direct Sowing
Sowing a seed directly into the ground, nurturing it, and reaping the rewards is one of the easiest gardening activities you can do—yet many gardeners don’t. There are many reasons to direct sow. Often, you’ll have earlier harvests because the seeds will germinate when it’s the perfect time to grow, and stronger seedlings because transplant shock isn’t an issue. Planting seeds in general (instead of buying transplants) gives you more varietal options, and you can also save a lot of money (1 packet of 30 to 150 seeds often costs less than a 6-pack of plants). And then there is the personal satisfaction factor. Ask any child who has planted a sunflower seed how they feel when that flower towers over their head, and you’ll understand what I mean.

How to Grow and Care for a Juniper Tree
Common juniper (Juniperus communis) is one of only three conifers native to the UK. It’s a member of the cypress family and grows on chalk or limestone in lowland areas, and moors, woodland and cliffs in northern Britain. Juniper is in decline in wild populations and has been designated a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority species. This special tree has disappeared from several areas in the south of England. Many remaining colonies are so small that they’re considered functionally extinct. Scotland is now the stronghold for 80 per cent of the UK’s juniper trees.
