Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy

Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy In order to ensure that water fountains last a while, it is important to perform regular maintenance. It is easy for foreign objects to find their way into outside fountains, so keeping it clean is essential. Also, algae tends to build up any place natural light meets water. To avoid this, there are some basic ingredients that can be poured into the water, such as vinegar, sea salt, or hydrogen peroxide. Another option is to stir bleach into the water, but this action can sicken wild animals and so should really be avoided.

Every 3-4 months, garden fountains should go through a good cleaning. Before you start cleaning, all the water must be taken out.

If there is intricate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Do not leave any soap deposit in or on the fountain.

Various organisms and calcium deposits can get inside the pump, so it is recommended to take it apart and clean it completely. To make it less strenuous, soak it in vinegar overnight before cleaning. If you want to remove build-up in your fountain, use rain water or mineral water versus tap water, as these don’t contain any elements that might stick to the inside of the pump.

Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by looking at it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. If the water level drops below the pump’s intake level, it can hurt the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!

The Major Characteristics of Ancient Greek Sculpture

The Major Characteristics of Ancient Greek Sculpture Archaic Greeks were known for developing the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Most of the freestanding statues were of youthful, winsome male or female (kore) Greeks and are termed kouros figures.

Anglo-Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest

Anglo-Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxons felt great changes to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. The Normans were much better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Monasteries and castles served separate functions, so while monasteries were large stone structures constructed in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the occupants focused on learning offensive and defensive practices. Gardening, a peaceful occupation, was impracticable in these unproductive fortifications. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most unspoiled style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists today. It is said that the keep was created during William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an obstacle to assailants trying to dig under the castle walls. A scenic bowling green, enveloped in grass and bordered by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, makes one of the terraces.
