KEEPING YOUR GREENHOUSE HEATING COSTS DOWN THIS WINTER

During a cold winter, it is not possible to make a Greenhouse completely safe from freezing without internal heating. If outside temperatures fall substantially below 0 degrees centigrade – tender plants will be at risk. Each degree of temperature near freezing is critical for plants, but good management will help, and allow you to navigate Greenhouse heating alongside this winter’s energy costs. Hartley Botanic’s handmade, aluminium Glasshouses and Greenhouses are enjoyed worldwide and, with over 84 years of engineering expertise and experience built-in, their structures can withstand the most challenging of weather conditions. Here the historic Lancashire-based manufacturer, shares how Greenhouse owners can keep a handle on their heating costs this year. 1/ START WITH HARTLEY BOTANIC’S GEOTHERMAL HEATING CALCULATOR Greenhouse Heating Calculator | Hartley Botanic (hartley-botanic.co.uk) Hartley Botanic’s useful…

LAKES IN DISTRESS

Lakes both large and small up and down the country are suffering. Look no further than the recent national news on the state of Lake Windermere. Even local news outlets regularly bemoan the state of smaller lakes in and around our towns and villages. Years of neglect and poor information has led to increasingly worsening conditions. We regularly see cases of: Oxygen depletion, fish deaths, animals harmed by blue green algae blooms, algae covered lakes and unpleasant odours. We also see that information for how to tackle these problems is incomplete at best and often actively harmful. This information often tries to look at the symptoms rather than how to treat the cause. Additionally, treating algae incorrectly can make the situation worse as it can increase silts which cause further…

WHY YOU SHOULD INSTALL DECKING IN THE WINTER

There are a few good reasons why you shouldn’t wait until spring comes around to consider new decking, as winter can prove the most efficient time to install decking in your garden. For instance, if you’re conscious about disrupting life in your garden, an installation in the colder months gives plenty of time for wildlife and plants to recover. By the time spring comes around again, your garden will be in great shape for enjoying the best of the season. It’s also a good time for the decking too, giving it a longer period to settle before the temperature changes again, so long as you include the right gaps when installing your decking. If you are installing your own decking, leave gaps of around 8mm to allow for your deck…

ENSURE THE LIFE OF YOUR DECK WITH TREX® PROTECT™

Today’s high-performance composite deck boards, like those from Trex, are warranted to last for 25 years or longer. But what about the substructure material underneath? If the posts and beams that support the deck are made of wood, they are likely to deteriorate long before the decking warranty elapses. Trex® Protect™ Joist and Beam Tape, a self-adhesive butyl tape designed to protect wooden joists and beams from moisture that can lead to rot, wood decay and the loosening of deck screws and fasteners. Trex Protect works by shielding the tops of joists, rim joists, ledger boards and beams from moisture. It also acts as a barrier between wood and galvanized metal commonly used in construction hardware such as joist hangers. For more information about Trex Protect visit www.trexprotect.com…

CHAPTER ONE FLOW LANDSCAPE / LANDSCAPE TECTONIX

The iconic multi-level landscape is subtly inspired by “the phenomenon of river” reflecting the site context. It is the journey of water that “flows” from the upper terrace to the Ground. The story begins once the resident approach to the garden. There are three major elements: iconic lawn, water feature, and garden path. The water feature cascades down from the upper level as a welcome element creating a sense of discovery and auditory. The water cascade is well designed in relation to the slope of the walkway planned for handicapped, elderly, and pedestrians to walk to the top. Either going up or walking down, a water feature is the key element along the walkway. Inspired by the phenomenon of the river, the water movements therefore conceptually generate the design framework,…

PERMEABLE PAVING ACCESS ROUTE INSTALLED FOR BOSTON BARRIER FLOOD DEFENCES

Completed in 2021, The Boston flood defence scheme is a £124 million project which provides improved flood protection to over 14,300 homes and businesses, including around 226 at risk listed buildings. Designed to safeguard the town against tidal surges such as the 2013 event which flooded over 820 homes and businesses, the scheme protects against forecast sea level rises for the next 100 years and provides 1 in 300 year storm event protection. A road for utilities vehicles was required to enable maintenance teams to access the barrier from the top of the embankment and adjacent to the flood defence wall. The Environment Agency also required a natural grass/wildflower surface since the road forms part of the Macmillan Way walking route, a 290 mile footpath linking Boston to Abbotsbury in…

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR £19M ENTERPRISE ZONE

MODERN METHODS OF PAVING
