Best Mycorrhizal Inoculants
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic networks with plant roots — the plant feeds the fungus, the fungus extends the plant’s effective root system tenfold. Inoculants introduce these fungi to soils where they’re absent (mos
Even though the weather has teased us a little with a few inches of snow this weekend, I am more than ready to shake off winter and start doing a little spring decorating. Today I’m sharing one of the easiest wreaths I’ve ever put together. If you have five minutes (maybe 10 if you like to make your bows more perfect than mine), then this Spring Wreath may be just what you’re looking for!
I chose a rattan wreath form for this project because of the light color and branch weave. The only other things you need are: a package of mini pastel pom poms, glue gun, ribbon, scissors, and a piece of wire or pipe cleaner to hold the bow together and to attach it to the wreath.
I put mini poms in this cute pink depression glass bowl. Why? No reason other than they looked pretty and so spring-like sitting in this cute little bowl. Really, it’s because this project is so simple, I felt like I needed another picture. Okay then, back to the project . . .
I randomly hot glued the mini pom poms onto the wreath. Remember that less is more. I attached just enough to add some color.
Next came the bow. I am a bow making novice. To get a little help and instruction on the process, I watched a quick video on YouTube first. I used ribbon with wire edges and as you can see, the bow instruction was enough for me to tie an acceptable blow. I didn’t get any pictures of making the bow, because my hands were pretty tied up in the bow making process. If you need help on how to make a pretty bow, check out this Video.
I love how easy this wreath was to put together as well as the neutral colors with just a hint of spring peaking out in the colorful pom poms.
It looks great on my front door. Now, we are ready to welcome spring!
Thank you for sharing!

Liquid seaweed extract is the magic-bullet supplement of organic vegetable growing. It contains over 70 trace minerals, plant growth hormones (cytokinin, auxin), and improves stress resistance — making plants more drou

Bone meal — ground animal bone — is the traditional slow-release phosphorus fertiliser for vegetables, fruit trees, and bulb plantings. Phosphorus drives root development and flowering, so bone meal at planting time

Worm castings — the digested output of composting worms — are the closest thing to perfect plant food in nature. They’re mild, slow-release, packed with beneficial microbes, and impossible to over-apply. A handful ar

Container plants live or die by the potting mix. Ordinary topsoil compacts in a pot and drowns roots; the right potting mix has structure (perlite, peat or coco), nutrition (compost, slow-release fertiliser), and biology

Making your own compost is best, but if you’re just starting a garden — or topping up after a big planting — bagged compost is the practical answer. The right bagged product is fully composted (not raw manure), scree
