This idea is guaranteed to spread!
Here is an idea of my own invention. You can make an inexpensive fertilizer or seed spreader by recycling a common household container. Simply use scissors to cut some holes as shown in this video. 
It works perfectly in small gardens and lawns!
The hand-held spreaders sold in stores cost $15 to $20. 
Use the larger holes for larger pellets or seed or the smaller holes for smaller stuff. 
Real easy.

Can you dig it?  My daughter’s garden in the Chicago area is a marvel of color and texture. It appears that she has been influenced by some of my 25 years in the garden design and landscape contracting professions. Here are some recent photos.  She follows the ideas found in my book: ‘Garden and Landscape Design-a Quick Start Guide.’ It has several concepts that you can use to make your home’s gardens delightful. Some important ideas are seen here.  A key concept is to have as little lawn as you can tolerate. Cut the grass! Reduce the size of your lawn. Instead, create wide sweeping planted beds. Fill them with lots of “set and forget” varieties. Well known author and TV gardening expert, P. Allen Smith, calls these “workhorse plants.”  When you have less lawn you will have less maintenance. That is very important. Your lawn is by far the most maintenance intensive part of your yard. There is no debate. When you consider the time required to mow, the amount of water needed to keep it

CONTAINER GARDENING

Image
Container gardening yields wonderful results throughout the year. Here is what we planted recently in just a few minutes in Chula Vista, California.  This window box outside our dining room window was planted last May. It did not thrive. It looked nice at first. We had hummingbirds (see photo). But after the initial bloom, we had just few more flowers. The location does not receive enough sun, just a few hours mid-afternoon.  We removed the tired geraniums and replanted shade tolerant red New Guinea Impatiens. Here is the result from just six 4-inch plants. Each cost $5.00 for a total of $30.00 plus tax. Easy! Container gardening is done mostly standing up. You do not have to dig holes in hard native soil. The plants can be changed out as often you like to complement the seasons. If you live in an area with cold winters Impatiens are not appropriate now. Shop your local garden center. The will have hardy Chrysanthemums, ornamental kale, and others to keep your containers looking their

A marvelous DIY garden in Eastlake Chula Vista, California

Image
by David R. Pearling Here is an excellent DIY designed garden in Southern California  We discovered this homeowner-designed and planted front yard during our daily exercise walks near our home in the Eastlake neighborhood of Chula Vista, near San Diego California. Denise, the homeowner, said that she and her husband created it in large part to eliminate the maintenance demands of their former front lawn. The result has been a complete success.  This garden is filled with easy-care shrubbery-with accents of color throughout. There is some nice hardscaping. This garden almost perfectly follows my five recommendations for garden design: 1) Have plan  2) Planted beds are everything  3) Never use plastic edging, cheap concrete blocks, or gaudy colored mulch  4) Hardscapes will make or break your garden  5) The finishing touches  This single-family home sits in a quiet neighborhood in a lesser-known area of metropolitan San Diego. The homes here are as nice and spacious as those located in a
