Animal Logic

...quake struck. According to John Dengate, there’s really no hard scientific data to support these ideas, some of them are myths and just plain fun, while others are more difficult to ignore. Termites and ants increase their activity as soon as humid or wet weather begins. They’re very dependent on moisture levels to survive, and they seem to wait for the onset of humid weather to begin colonising. Frogs croaking around ponds is usually an indicator... read more

Pembroke Welsh Corgi

...It also bears a striking resemblance to the Swedish Vallhund, suggesting a link perhaps brought about by viking invaders in the ninth century.

It is this high profile which has caused the breed to be so popular in the United Kingdom. What’s the difference? Just how similar are the Pembroke and Cardigan Welsh... read more

Driving For Dollars

driveway
...t with a plan view of your property and consider how the drive is going to link from the street to your house. A straight line might be an obvious choice, but on a slope, a curved drive can look smart, and the curve can work with the slope, making the driveway a curious element from the street view. The materials you choose will be reliant on budget, but adding detail to the driveway’s layout will help to make it look more interesting. If you are... read more

Mexican Garden

.... The pale terracotta tiles, also from Mexico, tie everything together and link in an earthy way to the terracotta ornaments. Mexicans are not afraid to mix colours, and Kelli thinks that the best way to create this style is to just put all your favourite colours together.

Tip: porous walls can be a problem with paving where water stains will cause marks. To prevent problems, allow for a small garden bed or strip drain along the base of the wall to prevent seepage marks onto paving.   Sleeper walls These are probably the most popular retaining wall options.

Courtyard

...ecomes part of the living area, so it was important to create some kind of link between the interior and exterior design. Also the colours used in the courtyard needed to complement the interior house colours. Design solution A water feature made from a piece of African black/silver slate provides a focal point in the courtyard. Because of the way the slate is mounted and sealed, water runs away quickly preventing the growth of slime. The exterior... read more

How dangerous are our snakes? The Western Taipan has the most toxic venom of all snakes, but... read more
