You need to protect your privacy in the front yard, especially when you live in an apartment block. It is not unusual for neighbors to view your home, disrupt your view, or interfere with your outdoor dining experience. If your neighbors live close to you, a tall fence might not suffice. There are many ways to create privacy without making your neighbors look snobby. If you don't have much time to care for the yard, hanging plants are a good option.
Plants in containers can provide privacy but can also be expensive. You can plant a variety of tall decorative grasses or flowers in large planters in the front yard.

Planters with decorative plants are another way to create privacy. Large planters are suitable for tall grasses and flowers. The planters can be placed in rows along your porch or any other area. These plants will offer the same privacy as shrubs but are much cheaper. Keep in mind the price of potting earth when choosing plants for your yard.

You can make a garden with a fence instead of a traditional fence.
FAQ
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
The combination of tomatoes and peppers is great because they love the same temperatures and soil conditions. They complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
What's the difference between aquaponic and hydroponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics combines fish tanks with plants to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.
When should you plant herbs?
Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. The best results are achieved when they are in full sunshine. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.
What month should I start a vegetable garden?
The best time to plant vegetables are from April through June. This is when the soil gets warmest, and plants tend to grow quickly. If you live in a cold climate, you may want to wait until July or August.
Do I have to purchase special equipment in order to grow vegetables on my own?
You're not wrong. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.

How To
Organic fertilizers for your garden
Organic fertilizers are made of natural substances like manure, compost and fish emulsion. The term "organic" refers to using non-synthetic materials in their production. Synthetic fertilizers are chemical compounds used in industrial processes. Synthetic fertilizers are used widely in agriculture as they supply nutrients quickly and efficiently to plants without the need for laborious preparation. Synthetic fertilizers can pose risks to the environment and human health. These fertilizers also require high amounts of energy, water and time to make. Moreover, many synthetic fertilizers pollute groundwater and surface waters due to runoff. This is a problem for wildlife and humans alike.
There are several kinds of organic fertilisers:
* Manure is a product of livestock eating nitrogen-rich food (a plant nutrient). It's made of bacteria and enzymes which break down the waste to simple compounds that can be taken by plants.
* Compost - a mixture of decaying leaves, grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and animal manure. It is rich in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium and sulfur. It is highly porous, so it holds moisture well and releases nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion is a liquid product made from fish oil. It is similar to soap in its ability to dissolve oils and fats. It also contains trace elements like phosphorous, Nitrogen, and other elements.
* Seaweed extract - A concentrated solution of minerals from kelp and red algae. It is a good source of vitamins A, C, iron, and iodine.
* Guano, excrement taken from amphibians, bats, reptiles and seabirds. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium as well as sodium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride.
* Blood Meal, the remains from slaughtered animals. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also contains trace minerals, phosphorus and potassium.
Make organic fertilizer by combining equal parts manure, fish emulsion, and compost. Mix well. If you don’t have access, you can mix one ingredient with the other. If you have only access to the fish oil emulsion, then you can combine 1 part fish emulsion and 2 parts compost.
Apply the fertilizer by spreading it evenly using a tiller or shovel. About a quarter of a cup of the fertilizer is needed per square foot. To see signs of new growth, you'll need more fertilizer each two weeks.
