The best way to know if the outdoor furniture suits your needs is to ask

How to paint your old rattan wicker furniture by VideoJug

Lazy Susan — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:24:36 +0000

This video from VideoJug and Aspect Maintenance demonstrates how to paint wicker furniture. Beware of unsightly blobs and paint spray! Do it right the first time…

Tom from Aspect Maintenance shows you how to paint wicker furniture. The one thing to bear in mind when trying to paint something like this, which is just a wicker trunk, it’s going to need a spray finish because in order for the paint to get into all the nooks and crevices. If you put it on with a brush it’s just going to drip through and you’re going to end up jamming up the paint. It’s going to collect and it’s not going to give you a nice even finish. So, if we were painting this trunk, the first thing you would need to do is make sure you sheet up all around it, probably two to three meters away. As you’re spraying it with a spray paint you’ll obviously get a lot of fine paint residue that’s always in the atmosphere and settles. If it settles on your furniture or your floor it’s going to stay there and it’s going to be a nightmare to get off. So just make sure…

Lazy Susan — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:23:06 +0000

Are you gardening in freezing temperatures? Check out some of Lazy Susan’s favourite winter gardening videos… Winterizing your garden can save you lots of time in the Spring. The first video (below) from John at http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ takes you on a field trip to Tonopah Community Garden and the Spring Preserve in Las Vegas, NV to see what is growing in the desert during the winter time. The daytime temperature was 37 and the nighttime low was 26 degrees… Okay not as cold as the UK in winter, but Lazy Susan still enjoyed the video and you have to admire John’s passion for veg.

The video below from Green Talk show’s you what is still growing in their winter garden.

Next up is a great (see below) video from Yolanda Vanveen that shows you how to plant a winter vegetable garden, choose plants that can withstand the colder climate, such as spinach, broccoli, kale and different types of lettuce. Stagger the vegetables throughout the season to enjoy them all winter long with helpful information from a sustainable gardener in this free video on growing food.

How could we forget the UK? Well, as the government reveals its plans…
