Transplanting Deciduous Shrubs
Shrubs to be transplanted from a natural stand or from one part of a yard or garden to another are most safely taken with a ball of earth on the roots. The size of the ball will vary with the size of the plant. The average shrub should be transplanted with a ball of earth about one half the spread of the branches. This is simple enough for plants growing in a clay or clay loam soil.
Shrubs growing in a sandy or gravelly soil are more difficult to move with a ball of earth than are those grown in clay or clay loam because the soil will fall away from the roots as the plant is dug. However, plants growing in light soils can be more easily dug with a large root system. A pick is used to comb the roots, thus saving a large portion of the root system.

The weather is getting warmer, and you are thinking about how best to furnish your outdoor spaces. You may want to decorate your deck, garden, or conservatory with furniture that allows a seamless transition from indoor space to outdoor space. Or, you may enjoy having pieces placed on your lawn that are a bit more relaxed, maybe some cane furniture with quality fabric seats. You many want to incorporate some teak furniture that meshes well with your hardwood deck. If you have a stone patio or grill accommodations, high quality painted aluminum, or cast iron, may be just what you need to make your home look exceptional this spring and summer. We are going to take a look at some garden furniture that will make your garden, conservatory, or stone patio look sophisticated and inviting for the warm weather.
If you are outfitting a conservatory, the furniture is usually much different than that required for an outdoor lawn space. Conservatory furniture calls for a more polished look, pieces that integrate well with the décor of the main home. If you have deep cherry furnishings, or teak inside of your home, you may want to use dark teak in your conservatory. To give the conservatory an air of the outdoors, opting for teak pieces that incorporate cane into their design creates the perfect ambiance. A range of furniture that caters to this type of design is the MGM Canterbury. This range’s primary medium is cane. However, it carefully incorporates solid pieces of wood which tie together the furniture from the interior of the home, creating the perfect outdoor/indoor space. Decorators looking for lighter sets may find their needs met by the MGM Earls Wood and Harrow Ranges. The MGM Burford Range is an excellent option for those seeking a contemporary suite. The range features solid glass tops on its side pieces.
