Vines Can Make Good Decorations :

A great way to decorate your garden is the of vines. They are y low maintenance and look good on almost thing. If you've got a fence or separator t rey stands out in the field of green t is your garden, then growing a vine o it can be a quick and aestheticy pleasing solution. Howe, there are m types of vines for different situations, whether you are trying to grow it up the side of a ho, along the gro, or up a tree.

M different gro vines are available. These types grow fast and strong, and just inch their ways along the gro. They are y easy to direct, so they can make a border aro your garden, or just we in and out of the plants. I suggest using these as a hardy gro co if you just want some green on your dirt or mulch. Usuy you can find a variety t is resistant to being stepped on. It's like a leafy, nice alternative to grass. Even if you h kids and a dog, it sld h no problems staying alive.

Another type of vine t is available is a "twining" vine. This refers to their method of climbing. Twining vines require a lattice or equy porous surface to climb up, since they are not sticky at . They just climb by sending out sm tendrils to loop aro whate is nearby. I suggest using this type of vine for climbing up trees, or type of mesh. Usuy you h to guide them a lot more during their early stages, and after t they will go where you want them to.

Vines not only look good on the gro or on lattices, you can blend them in to the y architecture of your ho. This is usuy achieved through the of vines with sm tendrils t h adhesive tips. They extend from the vine and attach themselves to almost surface. If your garden is adjacent to your ho and you want something to camouflage the big unsightly w, it's a great idea to start out a few vines near the base. If you h a vine like the Virginia Creeper growing, then your entire w will be coed in a matter of months. Howe I h seen situations where the vine got out of control. After t, you h no choice but to watch the vine take o your entire ho.

One of the vines t you would probably recognize is Ivy. You see it aro a lot, genery beca it is so adaptable. Out of the types I mentioned above (gro, twining, and sticky pads), Ivy can fill in for pretty much thing. It makes a great gro co, and will grow up about surface you put it on. Altgh it grows quick and strong, I wouldn't suggest growing it up your ho. This is beca recently, buildings which h had ivy for m years h fo t it has been deteriorating the building.

So no matter what you want to do with a vine, you sld h no problem getting it to grow. You sld always do your research beforehand and find out about negative qualities the vine has (such as its ability to destroy buildings, in Ivy's case.)
