Those poor slugs...

They can't resist some beer! Getting loads of great emails about this. There is a lot of information about this - see if you can put some on your blog. Could it be a cheap way to keep these pesky slugs out of our garden?!

Well done on all of your work with the plans over the last few days. I'm very proud of you all. I will post some photos we took in class over the last few days in the Progress section. Feel free to copy the photos for use on your own blogs!

Some ideas from my garden!

Hey everyone! I loved that Jennifer went in to her own back garden and looked for inspiration from the flowers her mother had planted. While I am certainly not an expert gardener, I have a few things in my own back garden that might inspire you when it comes to bringing all of your ideas together! Here are some of those ideas!

As you know I love Banksy and bought this stencil from Amazon. It was 20 euro and adds something different to the garden.

My love of Keith Haring art inspired me to brighten up these dull flower pots. These wall stickers (also known as decals) are from Ikea and only 15 euro for a pack of 30.

This vinyl sticker is water proof and can be stuck on to any outside surface. Jimmy had the great idea that outside walls should contain something educational so maybe something like this would work well in your garden?

There are so many cheap ways we can make our garden unique
and quirky. These are just some of the ideas I have had for my own back garden. The trellis you see was a plain old beige colour when I hung it up. I started painting it red the other day after a conversation one of you were having with me in class. I have to finish it when it stops raining! :)

 Also - if any of you great garden planners have any ideas for my own back garden I would love to hear them! :)

Pesky weeds!

Anyone have any good (and cheap!) ways we can keep the weeds down in the garden? My mam always uses vinegar to keep them at bay but there are lots more! I'd love to see some of your ideas!

Happy weekend!!!

Hmm... As you did such a good job at discovering a useful way to use a nappy when gardening, try out some of these questions for the long weekend!

*Can simple items such as a banana peel or vinegar help us with our soil? How? 

*Can you find any other simple garden remedies?

*Tell me how I can introduce cool insects such as worms, ladybirds or butterflies to the area! How can we make sure they are attracted to the garden?

I'd love to see if you guys can come up with any solutions to these! Make sure you post any information you can gather on your blogs! 

Happy weekend everyone! See you on the blogs! :)

Everything is awesome! So impressed with all the ideas that you all have shared on my blog and your individual team blogs! Let's keep this going! :) By the way - the Emmet Lego picture above is a moving gif file - great to bring a bit of life to your blog. There are loads of other moving gif files to be found online and they can be inserted in the same way as you would insert a normal picture!

A little bit of Science for you all...

How can a disposable baby nappy help our soil? Get researching :)

Thanks to Jitesh for helping me make this Voki! After looking at Glogster, Blabberize and Voki - I look forward to seeing yours appear on your blogs soon! :) Mr. Curtin
