horsetail (Equisetum) in containers
Comments (10)I can't imagine a pot Horsetail wouldn't look good in. I do prefer a gazed, foam, plastic pot that doesn't weep moisture. I've kept Horsetail in several climates (no serious freezing) in pots and it does fine. It does have a reputation for being invasive, good grower, etc... And that is kind of true. But not always. It can struggle too. It's not generally a plant it today and it turns into a prize winner next week type plant. I've always planted in clay soil. I generally don't fertilize the first year. Then not a lot. I don't like potting soil because I generally grow in a non draining pot and potting soil, compost, mulch and even top soil doesn't do well. In standing water you can even grow just in pea gravel but some fertilizer is needed. I like the clay because it can hold the water a long time if needed. Horsetail can take standing water but imo does better not in standing water. It can rot, not often, but can like when some other factor isn't great. Wet feet is fine and how I normally grow it. But the best possible conditions is still the same old well drain potting soil but watered often, like even a couple of times a day. That's way too much of a pain for me, so I like clay soil, no drainage, no standing water. Just easier. Even here in Phoenix I can not water for a week in summer when on a trip and it'll pull though. In San Jose CA 2,3,4 weeks without water was OK depending on the location (sun), pot and plant size....See Moreneed ideas to decorate this wall in my entryway?

Comments (10)You might need a two tier deck. I understand why a deck is desired but I think the house is nice looking and the landscape is so appealing. If it was my house I would want a paved walk to the door. I would make it level to the drive with a step up at the entrance. This is what I meant about the deck....See MoreHelp me decorate my entryway
Comments (12)Beautiful entry. You really don't need anything in it other than a good no slip rug (and no stub/stumble edges). You could keep a small square or rectangle wipe-your-feet-rug and then in area between the cased openings consider adding an interesting round or oval or square one with your favorite colors (also non slip and with no stub/stumble edges). Prefer seeing the radiators. For decor, you don't "need" that shelving; it's higher than the wainscoting and both of them likely could be put to better use elsewhere. Were you using the shelving as a charging station or place to "drop" keys and sunglasses, etc.? because, if so, there is another option that might could work in your limited space -- perhaps a small narrow version of this on the wall. https://www.wayfair.com/Zipcode-Design%E2%84%A2--Jon-Floating-Desk-X115392267-L32-K~W004281156.html?refid=GX528945860062-W004281156_624721285&device=c&ptid=998723531694&network=g&targetid=pla-998723531694&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=130981889&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=624721285&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiarSip278gIVhrzICh1o1w3gEAkYASABEgJU8vD_BwE OR. You could block the view of the end of the radiator from inside the house by adding a pair of small narrow cabinets the same height and depth as the radiators on the indoor side of the entry -- a plant stand cabinet (permitting you to add a living plant or two to the entry) and with at least one drawer that could serve as a charging station (and more drawer or have shelves for baskets for collecting other pocket items). Any cabinet you like that meets your needs could serve the purpose, preferably one portable enough to easily move farther away from the radiator when it is in use: https://www.amazon.com/Cabinet-Bathroom-Multifunctional-Standing-EstaHome/dp/B087QK889H https://foter.com/plant-stand-with-drawer https://www.amazon.com/VIAGDO-Bathroom-Floor-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B082HWNWV8/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_i=B082HWNWV8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Stands-Multi-Layer-Drawers-Display-Minimalist/dp/B082H88BSC....See MoreRelated Professionals
