OK, so the tree in the yard had to be taken down and all you have left is the stump. Now what? Stumps are tricky to remove and then you have a hole to deal with. Maybe, looking at that stump a different way, can shed a whole new light on the situation. Here are some innovative ways to include that stump in your landscaping.
1. Turn the stump into a planter. Create a depression in the middle of the stump. add potting soil and plant annuals. The stump will help to hold moisture for the plant.
2. If the stump is large enough, turn it into a planter. You can nail or screw into it, so plant hangers can be added to create a flower focal point in the yard.
3. Hummingbirds and Butterflies will flock to a stump that has a birdbath using the stump
as the base with nectar plants landscaped around the base. 4. Why not show your love for the fairies by decorating the stump as a fairy house including window boxes with live plants and ferns around the back of the stump. 5. Cover the stump with living moss and create a moss covered rock garden around the base. Add ferns and the stump has magically blended into the landscape.
Imagine that wild loops were to evolve a slippery coating and a spherical shape that required them to be “speared” through their small central opening rather than “scooped” into stomach cups. Explain how the forkbird population would change.
Every day many species are slowly becoming either endangered or extinct and recently an endangered bird species called piping plovers, started nesting on Revere Beach. What would seem as a miraculous discovery, many are averse to their new inhabitants on the beach. Many Revere residents are complaining because the piping plovers now occupy parts of “their” beach. But in the article “Revere Beach should welcome the piping plover” The Editorial Board believes that the presence of the piping plover could be greatly beneficial to the city of Revere and I certainly agree. What led me to select this particular article is my concern for the many endangered species in the world like the piping plover. Human hands have led many species to become endangered
There have been many revolutions throughout history, such as The French Revolution where the unsatisfied wealthy commoners fought for equality and rights against the government. The ideas that the rebellious groups fought for came from an intellectual and philosophical movement during the 1700s called the Enlightenment. During the Enlightenment, the way a perfect government should function changed from an absolute monarch, to separated and equal governing powers, and that people must tolerate religious skepticism such as deism and/or secularity because all people deserve the right to say and believe whatever they want. Even though there are other factors, the three biggest and most common factors that cause revolutions are inequality, economic ruin, and a disapproved
Hummingbirds rely on plant nectar to supply the necessary energy for their highly energetically and expensive flying and feeding behaviors. Hummingbirds obtain energy from the nectar of flowers using their tongue and it is thought that up to half of the tongue is made up of cartilage making it easier to direct and control and in turn more efficiently eat. (Tamm, Gass 1986). Hummingbirds have the ability to drink their own weight in nectar only in a matter of hours (Tamm, Gass 1986) and in order to meet their daily energetic needs they must visit several thousand flowers a day (Tamm, Gass 1986).
The fear of killing a houseplant keeps a lot of people from ever becoming a plant owner. What people don’t know though, is that there are plants that can almost take care of themselves. Snake Plants, Rubber Plants, Spider Plants, Aloe Vera and Philodendrons are fitting for brand new plant parents. They leave room for rookie mistakes like neglecting them for a few days or never moving them around. At the same time, they brighten up a living space and improve everyday
Methods on trying to figure out where to put each plant sample near from the back, the front or in the center of the inside. Each plant sample will be given a letter and the name of the plant named on the cup. The temperature will be running inside the building to collect data of the results and the amount of water given will determined the plants from growing.
First select a one to two year old, 3/8 to 3/4 in diameter root stock. Gently remove the root stock from the soil at the top of the tap root to expose 4 to 6 inches of the roots. The scion should come from a tree of the same diameter to maximize cambial contact, and should have a least 2 nodes on it. Make a 2 to 3 inch cut on a forty-five degree angle on the top of the root stock, separating the top of the root stock from the bottom. Cut about a one inch tongue into the cut. Do the same to the scion. Slide the tongue of the scion into that of the root stock. Be sure to match the cambium of both the root stock and the scion. Wrap the wound with a rubber strip and grafting tape to help prevent desiccation. Cover the graft with soil to the first bud. Remove the tape between 3 and 12
A hummingbird’s wings are shaped so that they are slightly rounded on the top. Bernoulli’s Principle explains why this helps the bird to fly. The air passing over the top of the wing must travel further than the air going under the wing. As the hummingbird moves forward, the velocity of the fluid increases over the wing and the pressure above the wing is reduced. The higher pressure under the hummingbird’s wing provides lift for the bird.
Materials used for this experiment includes 8 plastic cups, 8 ziplock bags, and rubbing alcohol. The plastic cups and ziplock bags were numbered from one through 8. The cups were placed in two different habitats; four cups in each habitat. The first habitat was near a canal and the second habitat was under a tree. In the first habitat, a six-inch hole were dug and cup one was
7. After the Incubator: After the plant has grown in the incubator, and you see shoots and roots then you can transfer the plant to only a little soil, or none. Then as time goes on slowly give it soil, light, and lower the humidity (Biotech).
I choose to collect my leaves from a tree in my back garden, as it was
Well now this may have you wondering, how is a flower able to get enough water? Well a flower absorbs water with its whole service. The main part that absorbs most of the water is the plants root hairs. The

Tire planters with flowers or plants growing from a tire make spectacular accents for backyard designs and exterior wall decoration also. If you are determined to use some power tools to cut tires, it gives you a fabulous material to work with and create original planters, buckets, and outdoor toys for kids. Cutting the tires requires more physical force than you think maybe, but the playful half tire pieces allow more flexibility in your designs.
Trees are usually considered as bland, unusual objects that are usually taken for granted; however, I believe there is more to a tree that meets the eye. They supply oxygen and shade. During the holidays, trees are able to spread holiday cheer by wearing holiday decorations. Through providing, they are always beneficial to the needs of others. Rather than having striking beauty like a flower, trees have are grounded and possess a gentle beauty; they are adapted wildflowers to their environment. In fact, if I had to compare myself to an inanimate object, I would choose a tree. A tree has many characteristics in common with me. Characteristics like relying on our roots, strength and observation, and helping others and leaving behind a powerful legacy are a few of the traits we share. All of which I believe are admirable qualities to possess.
