NEWS FEATURE
THE GREAT OUTDOORS ENTERTAIN IN STYLE AT YOUR PLACE
Entertaining areas and backyards are quickly becoming the most sought after features in the modern home. People love entertaining friends and family, especially when they can do it in a relaxed, outdoor environment. There are many ways to get that perfect backyard, but what kind of things should they be looking at investing in? Outdoor home improvement experts from Australian Outdoor Living say the most popular products of 2019 include outdoor blinds, timber decking, pergolas and verandahs. “We’re seeing a lot of people go all out when it comes to their backyards at the moment,” said Friday, August 23, 2019
“ WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE GO ALL OUT WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR BACKYARDS”
Andrew Jackson, Sales Manager of the company’s NSW branch. “We’ve found that blinds, pergolas and timber decking in particular provide people with all the protection of an indoor area, as well as the freedom of an outdoor one.” According to Mr Jackson, most homeowners are looking for practical home improvements that will also increase the value of their home. “People are after practical solutions to their problems – they want to be able to entertain outdoors without worrying about the rain or the cold,” he said. “These products offer all the protection of an indoor room, but with the added freedom of an
outdoor space, so it’s the best of both worlds.” According to Mr Jackson, artificial grass is also a trendy option. “People don’t want to waste their free time maintaining their lawns anymore, so artificial lawn is becoming a more popular choice,” he said. “Our lawns are low maintenance, so people save money on water and they get more free time to spend with the family.” If you’re interested in sprucing up your outdoor area, head over to Australian Outdoor Living’s website at www.australian outdoorliving.com.au.

IN THE GARDEN
IT’S TIME TO PLANT SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!
MIRVA CRINNION MRFOTHERGILLS.COM.AU
Spring is officially just a week away and there are literally hundreds of plant varieties you could get growing in your garden now! This week we will focus on Dahlias as the new season of Dahlia tubers have just arrived into garden retailers nationwide. Planting them now will reward you with a continuous flush of blooms from Christmas through autumn and all the way to first winter frosts! Plant your Dahlias in full sun in a position that is protected from wind. They will tolerate morning or afternoon shade but they need plenty of sunlight. Prepare the soil by adding organic matter and compost. Plant the tubers in a moist well drained soil, but don’t
water them until the shoots are approximately 15 centimetres tall – unless the soil gets very dry. This will avoid the tubers from rotting while the plant establishes itself. Provide a stake before planting and tie the plant as it grows.
Remove any spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms to develop. Dahlias also make excellent cut flowers and last in a vase for about a week.
Water regularly and mulch well to keep the roots cool during summer heat. At the end of the flowering season you can leave the Dahlias in the ground if your soil is well drained. In that case you just need to lift the tubers in September-October, divide large clumps and replant them. But if your soil gets wet in the winter- time, the tubers are best lifted and stored in a cool, dry area until spring. Mr Fothergill’s range of Dahlias include a variety of shapes, sizes and colours to suit all types of gardens. They retail for $8.95 – $16.95 and can be found now at independent garden retailers or www.mrfothergills.com.au.
Stay warm this winter with a quilt for all occasions Let the team at Somethings Country help you style your bed and keep you warm with a selection of French Country Quilts. Available in all sizes.

SIMON’S HOUSE
GET THREE QUOTES YOU COULD SAVE THOUSANDS
SIMON STEVENSON SIMONSHOUSE.COM.AU
I know you’ve all probably seen me stomping my feet and waving my arms around when I talk about this subject, but something happened this week that I thought was important to talk about again! And that is the importance of getting and comparing at least three quotes AND also educating yourself on any work you’re having done around your home. I was speaking to a roofer friend of mine and he told me about a client of his that had a leaking roof. She contacted a couple of different roofers and was told by both that she absolutely needed to replace her roof. She was given two quotes, both in the vicinity of $100,000.
Well, my mate looked at the roof and discovered that it didn’t actually need replacing. The tiles were fine and just needed a bit of TLC. He repaired her roof for $7000! My point here is that the first two presented no other option but to replace the roof. It was when she got the third quote that she actually realised there was another choice! When you call in a tradie, make sure you discuss with them ALL the options available, like replace versus repair. One more point I’d like to stress is that by inspecting and maintaining your roof on a regular basis you can save thousands towards the cost of a new one and almost double the life of your existing roof!
