Prairie Scapes Ltd. (designs for your landscape): No Damp

No Damp

Over the last couple of years many of the chemicals we used to use for landscape and gardening purposes have become banned. 'No Damp' is now on the list. Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has recently discontinued the used of the active ingredient 'oxine benzoate' which is found in this fungicide. ('No Damp' was used to prevent damping off of young seedlings, where young plants would get stem and/or root rot and die.)
A new product called "Truban' is now available to control damping off. I found it at our local gardening center. (Remember to follow the directions for use.)

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?
