Garden Decor

My cousin is an avid bird watcher. She likes going on treks to watch birds in their natural habitats. One day she chanced upon an article about the use of a live bird cam for bird watching. She liked the idea so much; she went out and got a few of these cams. She placed them strategically around her house and backyard.

With her live bird cam, she is able to watch birds from the comfort of her own home. She can watch them during mating season and not disrupt the birds. She was able to see different bird species interact with each other. One day, she was able to watch a mama bird feed her young. She said that buying those live bird cams was the best bird-related decision she has ever made.

How-To Get Rid of Poison Ivy Near Vegetables

Howard emailed me what would appear to be a very straight forward question: “What can I use to eliminate poison ivy near a vegetable garden?”. We all know that getting rid of poison ivy is never an easy task. Many weed killers do a decent job of eradicating this pest, but most must be applied several times to really do the job. Even though these products are rated relatively safe to the environment, you want to be even more cautious when spraying near vegetables for your family.

I mentioned the acetic acid based weed killers and painting the herbicide directly on the leaves of the weed, to lessen its spread. Do you have any suggestions for battling poison ivy? They say with the warmer temperatures of recent years, poison ivy is becoming hardier than ever. So this is probably going to become an even bigger problem for gardeners.
