As the temperatures heat up, so does the growth in your garden - and the dreaded need to haul out that lawnmower to keep the grass in shape. But now, you can forget about what your neighbours might say about your unruly lawn. "No Mow May," originally a UK movement, has spread to other countries and proponents say it will actually keep your grass greener. Blooming flowers on the lawn attract bumblebees and butterflies as well as special species that feed off of the growth. Cut the grass and you chop off this ecosystem. "Even before wildflowers have a chance to grow up from the lawn and blossom,...

Next time you need fresh soil for your flower bed, balcony box or herb pot on the windowsill, make sure that it is peat-free. Environmentalists are keen to make small-scale gardeners aware of the difference they can make to the protection of some of Europe's most fragile ecosystems. Peat extraction for gardening is leading to the destruction of raised bogs across Europe and threatening important habitats for rare animals and plants. Peatlands also store a lot of carbon, and large amounts of CO2 are released into the atmosphere when they are disturbed by commercial exploitation. So, you can als...

Airborne sound travels through the air as sound waves and is perceived by the ears. Structure-borne sound, on the oth...

Many people shy away from silver cutlery thinking it requires way too much effort to polish and clean. That is a common misconception, as proper silverware does not to be cleaned daily, but just like any household item silver knifes, forks and spoons do collect dirt and grime over time, plus silver reacts with oxygen, meaning the cutlery will discolour eventually.
