You can also maximise the space on a small patio by installing a basket swing chair. This is a great option for creating an outdoor reading place. It can be combined with string lights and a flame-lit fire pit to create the ideal outdoor living space. Another option is a wooden bench. This is both practical and space-saving. To add comfort, you can put cushions on the bench. They can also be stored inside when they are not in use.
Grey is the most preferred interior design color. This will make a stunning combination with a grey patio. You can coordinate this look with grey shutters and doors, or you can use polished concrete floors and grey porcelain tiles to complement each other.

A garden or patio provides a relaxing escape from everyday stress. Your patio or garden will feel calm and comfortable with clever lighting and a statement water feature. You can also add potted plants to add colour and greenery. A ping-pong table adds luxury to your garden or patio. A set of wooden furniture will look beautiful in a garden. Its natural tones will compliment the furniture well. Consider adding pillows and table linen to add charm.
You need to consider which plants will thrive in your space when planning your patio/garden. A patio made out of stone may look cold and hard. To soften the edges, you can use low-growing plants such as sedum. These plants make great spillers for scented herbs. These plants will require increased heat and watering requirements if they are located near the stone. However, they'll also give your patio or garden a Tuscany flair.
If space is limited, you can use a paved balcony as a substitute for a patio or garden. Install some colourful, slim-line furniture and make use of foldable tables. Place a plant or two on the ledge beneath the balcony. A miniature garden created with these elements will look more attractive. Other than paving materials you can also use large tiles and hang chairs along the wall. Add exotic accessories to create a Moroccan Riad or another exotic setting.

How To
How to apply Foliar Fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

Please read the instructions carefully. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep pets and children away
