Willow as a rooting agent

Q: I often root coleus cuttings in water and have been told that adding a sprig of willow will make the roots develop more rapidly. How can that be?

Your Yard - For You, Your Family and Your Friends

Last year residential architecture firms reported that upscale landscaping is on the increase, as is the popularity of outdoor living space such as decks, porches, patios and small courtyards. "When you extend your living space outside, suddenly you have so much more space for living in general," says Michelle Kodis, author of "Ultimate Backyard." And comfort isn't the only benefit, Kodis writes. "If you want to raise the value of your home, start thinking about ways to add structural interest and comfort to your backyard, patio, deck, side yard ".

A professionally done design adds the most value; or you may choose to seek the advice of an expert. The reasons for developing your yard are numerous. Why go anywhere else?
