What do you think would be a good logo for a gardening services company?
My other half is setting up a gardening services company and we’re currently looking at what his company logo should look like. It’ll be on advertising leaflets, business cards , a website and possibly on his pick up truck. We’ve done a dragonfly design so far but was wondering if anyone had any good ideas. We want to portray that he’s reliable ,efficient, knowledgeable in plants and horiculture and can take on work pople just don’t have time for.
My parernts use a lot of water (All day all night)?
Okay so it gets really hot out. We have this garden with all these fruit and veggies, my dad waters it with a sprinkler type thing attached to a hose ALL DAY. it running all day and might be stopped for like an 30 minutes. and night he uses the sprinkler to water the lawn. It’s terrible and I told my and she\s like "The plants will die out" and i told they dont need to be watered all day but she disagrees. if I shut the water off my parents will scream and beat me up literally.
here is the water usage thing for the city
"From June 1 to September 30 sprinkling of lawns at times other than those listed below is prohibited. These measures are being taken to conserve our water resource so adequate amounts of water are available for all purposes. Any complaints received, or observed violations, may result in fines imposed under Surrey By-law No. 12508.
When you may sprinkle your lawn:
DAYS:
EVEN numbered addresses may sprinkle on Wednesdays and Saturdays
ODD numbered addresses may sprinkle on Thursdays and Sundays
TIME: (on permitted days)
4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Most lawns only need about 2.5 centimeters of water per week (depth of a tuna can). This amount can easily be applied by sprinkling once a week.
……..
. "Watering of flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetable gardens is not affected by the regulations during this stage of the restrictions. To conserve water, consider using a watering can or a hose with a spring loaded or other automatic shut-off nozzle, and water in the morning."
What can i do?
What are the best choices for a home garden?
What is best to plant in a home garden? Keep in mind it is not huge and we would like to plant things that will take up the least amount of space but yield a nice harvest. So I guess I could ask, what plants give you the most bang for you buck?
What are your thoughts?
