			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For several years I had seen a couple of products in gardening and decorating magazines. I must say I really like them. The first product is the <a href="http://www.bevoworks.com/deck-post-caps-c-121.html">deck cap</a>. At first this seemed like something only hotels or very expensive homes would be inclined to use. However, the variety of styles and prices make it a reasonable product for the average homeowner. With instructions included, most do-it-yourselfers could accomplish the installation of a deck cap easily so I tried it last year and I have really enjoyed them adding to the look and feel of our outdoor spaces.<span id="more-93"></span></p>
<p>The second product that I would like to talk about is the <a href="http://www.bevoworks.com/finials-c-71.html">finial</a>. This product I thought was too high-end and too complicated for the average homeowners. After some research I changed my mind and was able to buy and install them with ease. The selection of styles and prices is very comprehensive. Of course if an individual wants to spend a lot of money on a finial, it is entirely possible. Many on the market are very affordable and there are many styles to choose. Finial installation can also be done by an average do-it-yourselfer homeowner because I am definitely an average do-it-yourselfer. The difference it makes in an outdoor space is well worth the learning curve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many types of <a title="Raised Planting Beds" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/raised-beds-c-74.html">raised planting beds</a> around that can either be bought or built. You can easily use these to landscape with and plant flowers in areas that may need a little help with soil or just the overall look. They are also great to plant herb gardens and vegetable gardens as well as some types of fruits like strawberries. They can be built in just about any configuration you can think of and bought in many sizes and materials including recycled plastics and organic woods.<span id="more-73"></span></p>
<p>One of the biggest misconceptions is raised beds are all rectangular and you need to have a large level space to utilize them. While the majority of these beds are this way there are others that are tiered or stacked like the <a title="Urban Garden Raised Bed" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/urban-garden-raised-bed-c-74-p-2-pr-799.html">Urban Garden Raised Bed</a> made of organic cedar. With this type of bed you can plant many plants in a small space and can even place it on a patio, deck or porch as long as it gets the sun that your plants will need. This bed is also great for those with physical disabilities you can tend to the plants without bending or kneeling and can literally sit in a chair to garden if needed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you cook often or simply drink plenty of water each day (as you should), then it is hard to ignore the convenience of having a <a title="countertop water filter" href="http://www.betterwaterstore.com/aquasana-countertop-c-7.html" target="_self">countertop water filter</a>.  With clean, filtered water at your fingertips, you are more likely to remember to drink or use it, there is no need to open the refrigerator multiple times a day (wasting energy), and there is not the hassle of constantly buying replacement filters for filtering pitchers.<span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p>A <a title="sink water filter" href="http://www.betterwaterstore.com/aquasana-aq-4210-under-counter-filter-with-shower-filter-c-18-p-1-pr-7.html" target="_self">sink water filter</a> easily fits near the kitchen faucet, which is typically connected to through a small hose.  With a variety of styles to choose from (chrome to glass or plastic), they are are very inexpensive models that cost around $50, to higher-end styles that are still an affordable option, whether they are $200 or $300.  When you consider the cost of bottled water, the cost savings will soon add up, plus there is no lugging cases of water home from the grocery store, and you are not contributing to overflowing landfills.  Overall, a countertop water filter is a convenient option no matter how you look at it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Installing our deck this summer in our backyard was an expensive and stressful project, but it had to be done. The deck addition no doubt has added substantial value to the house while momentarily draining the checkbook. Fortunately there were a few items that we were able to get some great deals on that didn&#8217;t put as much as a strain on the finances while simultaneously increasing the overall value &#8211; those items were <a title="Deck Post Caps" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/deck-post-caps-c-121.html">deck post caps</a>. We were able to find exactly what we were looking for and order accordingly. Ordering much of the deck material online before the installers came really made our deck project economical.<span id="more-53"></span></p>
<p>We even dressed up the deck a bit with <a title="Deck Finials" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/finials-c-71.html">deck finials</a> on the prominent corners of the deck. I didn&#8217;t even think about that option till I came across finials during my online research. These pieces were inexpensive and available through the same manufacturer allowing for same day delivery and savings on shipping. In these rough economic times, we all are looking for simple ways to stretch the dollar and these deck post caps and deck finials really allowed me to do that for our deck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing everyone will agree on is that money is tight and when it comes to renovations and decorating there just isn&#8217;t all that much money in the budget that can be allotted for this responsibility of home decor.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I grow bonsai indoors,  I can choose from many different trees and  I love it.   Even just thinking about the foliage colors  you have everything  from the washed out greens typical of sun lovers through to the deep, dark  greens of the trees that live deep in the jungles. They have trees with shapes from short and fat to long and narrow. Take them out of the jungle though and these awesome giants can become some of the most delightful miniature trees like this <a href="http://www.zengardenbonsai.com/product/PR81C">Brazilian Raintree. </a><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.zengardenbonsai.com/create_a_bonsai">pre-bonsai</a> which means that whoever you buy this tree for will have the chance to influence its style and shape, choose the pot and really make it their own.  You&#8217;ll need to water if carefully and remember to do it before the plant is completely dried out. Some trees seem to thrive on the boost in local humidity they get from a pebble tray and I think it will be a good idea for this Raintree. . Put it where it will get lots of bright, but indirect light and definitely keep it out for the afternoon sun. If you take it outside for the summer, don&#8217;t wait too long before you bring it in.  There are after all, no Brazilian Raintrees growing wild in Michigan!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay maybe not the world but at least all is right in my backyard and that&#8217;s a close second. I love my darling little house but I hate my not so darling little one stall tiny garage. Especially since I have a bike, a lawn mower, a lawn waste dumpster, and patio furniture that all want to share that one stall tiny garage with my jeep. Not possible. However, I finally found the solution to my tiny problem in the <a title="Duramax 10 x 8 Colossus Metal Shed" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/10x8-colossus-c-55-p-1-pr-73.html">Duramax 10&#215;8 Colossus Metal Shed</a>.<span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>It was affordable, has plenty of room for all my stuff and Duramax made it 20% thicker than any other metal <a title="Storage Shed" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/sheds-and-garages-c-2.html">storage shed</a> so it&#8217;s durable and can handle a ton of snow. Okay, not a ton but up to 1600 lbs of snow, that&#8217;s practically a ton! And I got to choose the trim color so it looks great standing in my backyard and it was easy to assemble (thank you neighbor Jim), we had it together in just over four hours. Sigh, all is right with the world after all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loving bonsai as I do, it can be difficult to promote them as a mere décor accent, but at some level I understand that a lot more people are interested in décor than will ever be interested in Bonsai.  And the simple fact is that if you’re looking for a dramatic accent for the right room, as long as you can provide good growing conditions a bonsai suits the purpose admirably.  Take for example a 26 inch tall <a href="http://www.zengardenbonsai.com/product/K2305-GP">Ficus Retusa with a curved trunk.</a><span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p>First, you need to wrap your head around the scale, because at 26 inches – over two feet tall, this is not like the bonsai you might have seen in your local grocery store.  This bonsai tree has presence and when you place it as a focal point in your living room or entrance hall, this tree will add an exotic breath of life to that spot.  The curved trunk is a particularly nice feature of this <a href="http://www.zengardenbonsai.com/indoor_bonsai">Ficus</a> that is also referred to as a Banyan Fig and sometimes the Tiger Bark Fig – a name it takes from the dark, flecks or stripes that you can see on the bark of a mature specimen. This tree, by the way is about 30 years old.</p>
