Rule of thumb for spacing when planting trees?
Comments (14)your success will also depend on the trees you choose ... since you have dreams of gardening UNDER your trees .... you must be VERY CAREFUL about choosing trees that will allow such ... many trees are shallow rooted and super competitors.. and will choke out just about everything you try to plant under/near them ... e.g. .... you say you want a veggie garden ... which requires full sun [so you cant do 50 trees on one acre] .... and large amounts of water and fertilizer ... IF you were to plant a maple within 25 feet of that space.. the maple will grow its roots into the area.. steal all the water and food .... and then grow so fast.. that within a decade.. your veggie garden will be in full shade ... and will no longer be a veggie garden ... so... choosing the right trees is MOST LIKELY more important than spacing .. good luck ken...See MoreRule of thumb for height of fixture?
Comments (4)30 to 34 inches above the table....if not over a table approximately 6'6" so it can be walked under. Of course that would not apply if the fixture is installed in a 2 story area such as a foyer. Most tables are around 30.5 inches from the floor (not talking Pub style)...so at least 60.5 inches from the floor, would be a good starting point. It is easy enough to shorten it later if need be. Not so easy to lengthen....See MoreRule of thumb for island light fixture size & height?
Comments (2)Generally, lights are hung 30-32" above counter level. I would think that 48" would be plenty long enough for a billiard fixture, as long as you have lighting around the island that could fill in on the ends if necessary. Do you have cans near the island? The best idea might be to put two separate, smaller fixtures or pendants instead so you don't have such a massive, single fixture....See MoreRules of Thumb for Citrus Container Sizing?
Comments (33)After many years of watching the redwoods grow and make me ever more claustrophobic, a very smart arborist asked me what i wanted.... redwoods or landscape - "you cannot have both" . By that time the roots had caused over $40k of damage. It was an easy decision. Redwoods are nice in a forest and as a deck. They are NOT appropriate for any residential area. They are junk trees in a landscape that are stupidly planted for quick privacy without regard to long term size ( 150 to 300 ft) and certainly without regard to neighbors. I have many 20 ft and taller red tipped photinia that are providing privacy and the citrus is rapidly adding to the privacy. If you have redwoods get rid of them now. Your neighbors will like you better. !...See Morenanny2a
