non-toxic way to preserve wooden trellis posts
Comments (9)I've read of a tungston oil, don't think I got the name right because when I searched it, it came up as the metal tungston. It was used regularly on untreated spinning wheels, will keep searching for the right name, but I'm sure that is it. There is also something called Teak Oil. I posted the url below. Also, don't think it's very organic, but I read about people building pole buildings and preserving their wood with kerosene. Surely kerosene can't be good for organic, but it's a thought. I hope that helps. Here is a link that might be useful: Teak oil...See MoreIncorporated my flat screen (pic)
Comments (41)Thanks! Lake Girl - I got them from my local TJ Maxx. I have to admit that every now and then when I see the TV hung too high that I want to tell DH that I'm sorry but it has to be moved down a bit. But I won't - he worked too hard on it....See MoreCan I use an umbrella trellis here, or would it look too weird?
Comments (37)Thank you. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all the help. It's wonderful. My family is great for practical help, but not this kind of thing and certainly not roses. Although I'm an average gardener at best, they speak of me like I have some magic way with roses and plants.... It might take a while, but when I need something done that I'm not able to do, someone else will. I am blessed with a wonderful family and they have made my illness much easier to live with. I'm very grateful. There is a mature olive tree that protects this bed during the hottest part of the day. Bed faces N/W, and I think this particular bed is safe from stucco flashback. I have other beds that really suffer from it. Thankfully this isn't one of them. Any thoughts on Lady Ashe as well? Lisa...See MoreHow to incorporate this into landscape?
Comments (9)In most cases, natural logs are used. Not really feasible to treat them. Over time they rot. The secret to their long life is to find or pick species that are resistant to rot. Maple and black cherry are about in the middle of the pack as far as being resistant to rot. They will last quite a while and you can scope out a source for some new ones when they get too far gone. This is a common look so it is not that difficult to manage. That said, you want to use treated stakes to hold them in position if you can, because the skinny stakes will rot a lot faster and you don't want to be constantly having to replace those as well. Also, if you are buying mulch for the path, get cedar mulch, it is more rot resistant than straight "hardwood" mulch. Slightly more expensive so buy in bulk if you can and have it delivered....See MoreMy3dogs ME zone 5A
