Bird feeders are great if you love to feed the birds but you also get a whole bunch of other pests and animals that you may have not wanted to feed or bring in your yard. Becuse that you do your research on the feeders you get so that the squirrels wil not be stealing al of the bird food you left out for the birds! Filed under: Gardening Tips Comments:

Nice Post On Bird feeders
I have also some tips that I want to share with you. You might be interested in.
Tip 1: Water Efficiently
Sounds pretty straightforward but there are some ways you can enhance your water conserving efforts when it comes to gardening such as seriously cutting back on watering times, only watering at strategic times of day (such as in the evening).
Tip 2: Install an Irrigation System
Consider the installation of a sprinkler or irrigation system for your lawn. Irrigation systems work great at targeting the specific areas of your lawn that need to be watered thus cutting back on unnecessary watering of unneeded areas. Plus, irrigation systems often come with a timer option which would further help cut back on over watering, all too often we set the sprinkler out in the lawn and forget to move it or turn it of. A timer is a great way to prevent this.
Tip 3: Go Organic
Say goodbye to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. They are not a helping the environment and in some cases could get into the water. There are many wonderful organic or natural weed killers and organic compost that will help your lawn look great. Compost is really a great fertilizer.
Tip 4: Make Your Own Compost
Making your own compost is a simple task that is not only good for your lawn but also helps cut down on waste. You can make your own compost by taking vegetable or fruit scraps, such as the peeled skin from a carrot, potato, apple, etc. These work well and also give your lawn great nutrients that they wouldn’t get elsewhere
Tip 5: Mulch
Using mulch throughout your garden is not only a beautiful way to enhance the look of your garden but it also provides a natural way to save water by less need to water and protects plants as well.
