One of our followers, we say them AgriGuiders, has post an article at his site. He asked for publish it at AG. His article as follows :
Are you looking to find the right solution to help improve the drainage system of your garden?
If the flowers in your back garden are continually suffering from having large amounts of excess ground water blighting your efforts to create the perfect environment for your prized plants, you may be pleasantly surprised to find out that there are in fact several viable options to help eradicate the issue and thereby hopefully get the most out of your garden space.
In my experience in this area, I can generally recommend using drip irrigation systems to tackle the issue and
help control ground water flow – as they offer perhaps the most effective method of managing the problem of plant drainage and can be a lot more reasonably priced than you may perhaps initially think. For example, why not try checking out the range of irrigation systems currently available to buy on the web and see if this can solve your plant drainage difficulties. You may also find that many such systems that can be found online are actually very easy to install and use – indeed much less complex than one may think.
I learnt many useful irrigation methods thanks to Agriculture Guide – you can find comprehensive irrigation systems reviews, and also what they are, where they used, how you can construct them easily etc, – for details you have to look Agriculture Guide’s irrigation systems tutorials and reviews. Especially I strongly advise you to look their drip irrigation page too.
So if you are having real problems with getting unwanted standing water away from your plants why not give some serious consideration to installing a drip irrigation system in your garden today ?
* Thanks to you Agriculture Guide, you let me learn about all those irrigation systems that are suitable for my backyard garden.

Eggplant varieties grown in greenhouses are expensive because they are generally hybrid eggplants. Therefore, healthy seedlings should be generated without harming the seeds. Drilling can be done either by scattering the seeds into boxes by hand (under appropriate temperatures) or by using the row planting system.
After drilling, the area must be covered with compost screened to 1/5 inch particles. Plants should be kept out of Read the rest of this entry »

The best young citrus tree is the one with 4 or 5 years old roots, and it is well grown, healthy and strong. Only the best young citrus trees must be bought as it’s effect on production is great. The best time to plant these is spring, from the end of March to the start of May as the trees planted early will grow and be more resistant to the cold winter. But if cold isn’t an issue, autumn is just as well. While planting your citrus trees, the roots must not be exposed to the sun or the wind for too long because they are very sensitive, they wither and die very quickly. For this reason the trees are uprooted without clearing the soil from the roots and sold in plastic containers with their roots in soil as well. But if the tree is completely removed from the soil, they should be kept in moist chests or straw and if they aren’t going to be planted very soon, it’s best to temporarily cover their roots with soil and water them, without exposing the trees to direct sunlight. While transporting young citrus trees, pluck all the leaves and never leave the young trees in the water to keep them alive.
They are not to be planted too deep !
Young citrus trees should be planted in holes you’ve prepared earlier, and watered as soon as possible. They are not to be planted too deep, it’s best to plant them too close to the surface then planting them too deep. The grafted zone must be entirely out of the earth. A water basin of around 120 centimeters diameter should be dug around the tree and filled with water, and the soil must be monitored to keep it from being too dry. For the first few years trimming too much should be avoided to let the tree grow strong branches and fruits must be plucked before they grow too much so the branches don’t break under the weight.
