Cupcake Ferns

GROWING FERNS FROM SCRATCH IS EASIER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.YOU CAN COLLECT SPORES FROM your own plants or, with permission, from other people’s greenhouses and gardens. Here’s a real kitchen-tested recipe that comes from frond lovers Shelley Dillard and Dianne Smith, who manage the Victorian fernery at The Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia. It’s simple, nearly foolproof and uses everyday materials you may already have in your home, including cupcake liners.

First a quick note about fern biology. Rather than seeds, these primitive plants propagate through dust like spores that are typically produced by the little brown dots (known as sporangia) found on the undersides of their fronds.When ready, the spores fall to the ground and grow into small mosslike creatures (known as prothallia) with teeny heart-shaped leaves; this is the first fern stage. With enough moisture in the environment the second stage develops, which looks like baby ferns. Growing your own ferns is a perfect activity in a warm little greenhouse on a cold winter’s day.

Gun Applied Sealants and Adhesives

Gun SealantWhen you walk into a DIY store, you will be confronted by shelves of gun applied sealants to fill gaps and glue. Unlike traditional fillers, most of these stay flexible and will not shrink, keeping gaps filled and, where relevant, waterproof. They usually are available in ’standard-sized’ tubes designed to fit in a cartridge gun, this has a trigger operated piston that squeezes the sealant from the tube, through the nozzle and into the required position. There is one popular adhesive which is not in a standard length tube, it’s longer and does not fit a ’standard’ gun.

To choose the right sealant for the job, you need to think about which features you need in the sealant, the important features include:

  • #. the type of material it will adhere to;
  • #. the size of gap it will fill;
  • #. its degree of mould resistant;
  • #. how waterproof it is;
  • #. whether it can be overpainted, or not;
  • #. whether it can be used indoors and/or out of doors;
  • #. whether it is solvent based or gives off fumes when curing;
  • #. what it is like when it cures, i.e. solid, flexible or very flexible.

Actions to prevent flooding around the house

House FloodingWith global warming and the resulting climate changes, flooding is increasingly becoming a problem. Often the ordinary householder thinks there is nothing they can do to protect their property - but now there is !
This page will help you gain a better understanding on how floods can damage your property and how products can help you in the event of a flood in your area.

Basements

• Do you have cracked or damaged drains?
• There are many, many more factors that can also take effect.

Bathrooms - How To Do It Yourself

Because replacing your bathroom is an operation that will have a lot of influence in your daily live for a few weeks, it is probably not something you will do for pleasure. But think of the result, and it will all be worthwhile. This article will guide you to a relaxing and refreshing bathroom!

Bathroom Planning

It makes a lot of sense to assess the needs of you and your family before you start planning your bathroom. Are you single, living together or having a family with different age groups? All these things matter when you choose your fixtures, storage, flooring and wall coverings.

Families will use a bathroom very intensely at all times of the day. Especially in the morning members of the family might need to use the bathroom at the same time. Young children will appreciate toys they can play with in the bath and stools to stand on when brushing their teeth and all these things will need storage, so plan this carefully.

When you’re single or living together, you don’t need to worry about storage that much. Get a few smart storage boxes for your toiletries and even the most compact bathroom will look clean and uncluttered. You can opt for more luxurious wall coverings and flooring, because it will get less wear and tear.

Book Review - Magic Beneath the Seas

An underwater
photographic journey
By Steven Kovacs

Magic Beneath the SeasSteven became an avid underwater photographer in 2001 and since then has taken the 317 images which make up this coffee table book. Magic Beneath the Seas is a testament to his talent and is a remarkable achievement bearing in mind that he is not a professional and is in fact a dental surgeon by trade.

To achieve such consistent image quality in such a comparatively short period of time is very impressive and in the majority of portrait shots there is an eye to eye contact which is quite arresting giving me the feeling that I, the alien intruder, am being observed rather than the other way round.
