The beauty and tranquility that a water garden adds to any outdoor area is more than enough incentive to create one of these stunning landscaping features in your backyard. However, there are benefits to a water garden that go beyond the pleasant hedonism of enjoying the unique aesthetic pleasures of a water garden. A water garden is as great for the environment as it is pleasant for homeowners. (more…)
If a tree is planted and fed right, it will last for decades, maybe more than a hundred years. It is well worth while following the guidelines below, to make your trees almost indestructible.
In planting or transplanting a tree, and in building on a lot where you wish to preserve the trees, the gardener’s chief consideration must be to protect the root structure of the tree. The big roots near the stem anchor the tree to the ground, while the fine root hairs at the ends of the rootlets absorb the water from the soil.
Planting
In planting trees, their mature height and spread must be considered before a selection is made. Tempting as are the nursery catalogs, it is necessary to choose carefully, especially on the average lot, because crowding spoils the growth and appearance of trees, particularly specimen trees.
Today you can plant trees when in full leaf with the aid of new wilt-proof sprays that seal the leaves against moisture loss until the roots are established. This, however, costs money and entails greater risks than buying your tree and planting it in early spring( the best time) or late fall or winter. If you are planting a tree over 6 feet tall, it will suffer less setback if moved with a bur-lapped root ball.
To plant a tree dig a hole 2 feet deep and at least 1 foot wider each way than the full spread of the roots. The bottom of the hole should be broken up with a pitchfork and thoroughly mixed with peat, leaf mold, loam, etc. Manure should be used sparingly and only on the top of the hole as it burns the roots. The deeper you can cultivate your hole, the better for your tree.
If you are planting a seedling that is not balled and burlapped, you will want to protect it by “heeling in” a vacant flower bed where it may be kept before planting as long as dormant. This means laying it on its side and covering the roots with good soil. When you take it from the soil, give it a mud bath or “puddle” it. Puddling protects the roots from exposure to air before planting and also from any air pockets which may exist after planting.
Having filled the hole to the depth required by the roots of the plant, flood it with water to settle the soil at the bottom; when this has drained away, place the tree in the position in which it is to grow and settle the soil about it.
Use a stick or shovel handle to work the soil around the roots, and make certain there are no air pockets. Spread the roots out naturally, planting the tree at about the same depth as in the nursery or its former location. When the hole is two-thirds full, trample it down and again fill with water. Don’t firm down the remaining soil, so that the water will drain towards the trunk.
Feeding Trees
When trees grow naturally in the forest, the leaves fall around them, decay and form a good soil. The leaves also preserve moisture in the soil. On a lawn, however, the tree must compete with the grass for moisture and nutrients, and the leaves are raked up to prevent grass disorders, so that the successful gardener finds it wise to supply nutrients every two or three years.
Feeding should be done when the ground is workable, in the spring or in the fall.
An easy method is to drill holes 2 to 3 feet beyond the outer branches, 12 to 18 inches deep and spaced about 15 inches apart. Fill each hole with a commercial fertilizer (made up of bone meal, tankage, peat moss or humus) plus chemicals, in a formula containing 10% nitrogen,6% phosphoric acid and 4% potash.
With the above information you can plant trees successfully, feed them satisfactorily and have a beautiful garden.

Not many people are wise about the ins and outs of fireplaces which can seem daunting if you want to get one installed. One of the most important things to know about flueless gas fires is the different types of flues you get. However, once you have done some research it is easy to get the hang of it and you will know which style is best suited to your home.
A balanced flue works through a twin – walled pipe which exits horizontally through an external wall or vertically through the roof. The outer pipe draws air from the outside while the inner pipe pushes out the products of combustion. There are many benefits of this type of flue such as that they are safe to use and have a minimal fuel consumption. Many people think that if they don’t have a chimney they can’t get flueless gas fires but this is not the case as balanced flues can be installed with or without a conventional chimney.
When enquiring about flueless gas fires you may find that you have a powered flue. This is an open fronted gas appliance that has an electronically driven fan system. You will find that it may be either partly recessed or surface mounted on the outside of the wall in order to push out the flue gasses.
If you have a modern home you are more than likely going to have a pre – cast flue. You will be able to distinguish this because you will have either a raised ridge terminal or a metal flue cowl on your roof. Again this is not a problem if you are looking to get flueless gas fires installed because there are many different varieties to suit each type of flue.
You should quickly and easily be able to tell if you have a pre – fabricated flue because there will be a metal flue cowl on your roof. If you are not sure what kind of flue you have or even if you have one at all, there are plenty of professionals out there who will be more than willing to help you.
Something very important to remember with flueless gas fires is that installed gas appliances is not a DIY job. It is very important that you get a professional to do the work for you because if you don’t know what you are doing you may end up creating something that is hazardous to your home and the people living in it.
Wigan Fireplace Centre is a family run business that was established in 1995 flueless gas fires Wigan Fireplace Centre can arrange for your new fireplace to be expertly fitted by one of its own team of professional CORGI registered installers.

Now, now. Before I hear the seasonal sighs and woeful mumblings of secret New England jealousy, let me offer a word of encouragement. You can do it. This is not an unattainable goal. There are no insurmountable obstacles here. Apply the power of creativity and a little resourcefulness, like any good student, and it will be easier than you think. Yes, even Texans in Dallas, Houston or the most arid spaces can grow a beautiful herb garden.
What is this I say? Impossible! But it’s true; any good gardener would swear by it. The congested cities of Dallas and Houston and the sandy deserts of southwest Texas can support a garden without constant watering and nutrient support. Just look at the plants and animals in the area. How do they survive? All living things need nutrients and water – the trick is figuring out which plants enjoy living in which climate. If we do, we’re well on our way to living a healthier, natural life. Individual health insurance can’t cover everything, after all.
The biggest mistake defeated gardeners make is fixating on certain plants. But coffee isn’t grown in Alaska and, sorry, it’s just not realistic to try for edible mushrooms in arid Texas. Texas is considered to be in hardiness zones six through nine, which means the state experiences average minimum temperatures of from -10F to 30F. Considering that regions of North America commonly dip below -50F, that’s a huge plus. The perceived problem is dry climate and sandy soil in much of the state.
Contrary to popular belief, however, many plants actually prefer this environment. Cacti is the most exploited example, perhaps, but its shallow root system and ability to store water do serve as a perfect example of how plants create their own versions of individual health insurance policies: in times of emergency, simply draw from the well. This adaptation not only allows cacti to survive in dry climates, but to actually thrive. Cacti would literally drown if watered too much. Calendula, bay, eucalyptus, ginger, lemon verbana, and Madagascar periwinkle are all perfectly suited to climates throughout Texas, and make wonderful garden plants.
Soil is essentially a composition of minerals (45%), organic matter (5%), water (25%), and air (25%). Its texture is dependent on the size of mineral particles, and different soil types will feel differently when they’re at their healthiest. Damp, sandy soil, for instance, will fall through the fingers, but still stick together when pressed. Plants growing in this type of soil will have shallower roots that spread quickly, but will quickly lose water as well.
To check moisture content, gently remove the top layer of soil and survey the condition at the roots. If the soil is cool and moist, and the plant shows no signs of distress, such as wilting or discoloration, all is well. Choose a level garden site with adequate drainage, and make sure it’s not in a valley or low spot. Lowlands decrease drainage and air circulation in the soil.
Choose plants that are considered “half-hardy,” or that need a warm environment to germinate, but, once established, can survive a mild frost. Calendula, or “pot marigold” is a popular choice. Germinate inside, if possible, and transplant to the outdoor garden once a strong root system is established. Dill is considered a “hardy” plant, which is also an excellent option, and can be sown outside while spring or fall frosts still threaten.
Keep hardiness zones in mind, as well as watering and nutrient needs. Being able to provide some shade is best, but working shade-giving plants into the design could take a year or two. Check to see how much light a plant needs, and provide for it accordingly. A plant requiring full sun is able to be exposed directly from sunrise to sunset. Partial- sun plants can be directly exposed from five to six hours, but then need at least partial shade for the rest of the day. Most seed packets will provide the appropriate information, and, if there are any doubts, don’t be afraid to visit the local gardening store.
Most plants require one to two inches of water a week, and those in dry climates may require more. Overhead watering systems lose 30-50% of their content to heat on a summer’s day, so the misperception of how difficult it is to grow a garden may actually come from choosing the wrong plants and then employing inefficient watering systems. A rudimentary irrigation system, such as trickle lines, tends to be much more efficient. Simply dig a space for a trickle line – a hose with small, periodic punctures allowing water to drop or spray into the soil – next to your plant and hook it up to a nearby water source. Less water evaporates, runs off, and feeds surrounding weeds; in turn, more water reaches favored plants.
Gardens need nutrients, of course, but they may not need a constant, artificial source of them. Starting a compost is a great resource, and easy to do with organic food wastes. What may be better in climates like Texas, however, is a quality mulch. Mulching will not only retain more soil moisture, dramatically decrease weeds, and protect against erosion, but will also insulate the ground against temperature changes. For Texans, this means mulching will keep the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the frosts.
Excellent choices for Texas gardens are:
- Basil. Thrives in mild climates. Considered an annual plant, grows one to two feet, and is primarily used as a culinary herb.
- Bay. Thrives in Zone 8 (average annual minimal temperatures of 10-20F). Considered an evergreen shrub or tree, grows six to twelve feet, and is primarily used as a culinary herb.
- Eucalyptus. Thrives in Zone 8. Considered an evergreen tree, grows from five to three hundred feet, and is primarily used as a medicinal herb.
- Ginger. Thrives in Zone 9 (average annual minimal temperatures of 20-30F). Considered a perennial, grows two to four feet, and used as a culinary and medicinal herb.
- Lemon verbana. Thrives in Zone 9. Considered an evergreen shrub, grows five to ten feet, and is primarily used as a culinary herb.
- Madagascar periwinkle. Thrives in Zone 9. Considered an annual, grows an average of two feet, and is used as an ornamental.
See, it’s not so hard. Armed with proper knowledge and an appreciation for climate-suitable plants, gardening in Texas is, if not exactly easy, much less difficult than common (mis)perception would imply. A little water, a little shade, and some attentive germination will reap many rewards. Within a few months, a beautiful and functional array of plants will bloom. Yes, even Texans (resist that sigh) can have an herb garden.

Within the wonderful world of trees lies another world – that of the organisms which harbor in trees as pests and parasites. Of these there is no end in numbers or variety. New home owners are scarcely to be blamed for becoming dismayed, as they often do, upon encountering one invader after another for the first time. This writer’s counsel to clients undergoing such baptism has always been: Cheer up, few kinds of attack on trees are fatal. Study of the trees’ foes-learning to anticipate and counteract them – is a sporting proposition in itself. You may lose a few skirmishes, but there is a great deal that you yourself can do to win this war. Only occasionally will an owner, particularly of young trees, have to call in a tree-service task force.
The trees’ invaders are from two kingdoms – the animal and the vegetable. The former are insects (and one bird) ranging from king-size larvae of the big moths down to microscopic mites, mini-wasps, and scale organisms no bigger than a pin point. The vegetable hordes are fungi, bacteria, and viruses. These are all primitive plant forms, but there is one plant parasite that is anything but primitive except in its role, assigned by mankind, as a love symbol. This is mistletoe, one of the deadliest invaders of all.
Mistletoe might well be spelled “missile toe,” for its first tiny rootlets have the power to insinuate themselves into the host tree’s living tissues like the fangs of a vampire. Its pallid, waxy berries, resembling seed pearls, are carried by birds and dropped into bark crevices where they germinate under protection of their own gum. Mistletoe cannot live in soil but must steal its nourishment from a host tree’s sap veins.
Where it fastens on, grotesque swellings ensue and the host’s deformed members writhe away from the vampire as if in horror. No amount of chopping-out short of limb amputation will eradicate the mature bushes. Fortunately for trees, and for the human kissing custom, and for Oklahoma whose State “flower” mistletoe is, the deaths it inflicts are slow and painless. Its glaucous clumps aloft even confer a macabre beauty upon the elms, hackberries, walnuts, gums, pecans, mesquites, and (rarely) oaks, which it reduces to skeletons.
Mistletoes abound from lower New Jersey to Key West, all across the South, and up the west coast into Oregon. In much of this range they are accompanied by an even more picturesque growth called Spanish Moss, a member of the pineapple family. This stringy, grayish stuff hanging from trees, making them look like shaggy Arthur Rackham wizards, is not a true parasite. It is a typical air plant, of which lichens and orchids are other examples. Air plants do not suck a tree’s life-juices but can smother it to death if allowed to run rampant.
Another conspicuous parasite, this a true one, is called witches’-broom. It shows up as dense, deforming twig clumps in hackberry, larch, and honey locust. It is caused by the sting of gall mites or by spores of a mildew fungus – maybe by both. Pruning is the only cure, if there is any.
Pruning or tissue surgery can sometimes head off one other class of parasite – the canker-forming fungi. Whenever such mechanical aids are attempted they should be followed up by feeding, usually with a high-nitrogen, to help the tree quickly seal off its canker lesions with healthy new cells before remnant fungoid mycelia (thread-roots) can spread, as in animals’ fibroid tumors. Getting rid of these parasites is critical if you want to have healthy trees.

Looking after a garden is a year round job for some. If you get a brief break because there is snow on the ground, then there maybe some things you might want to research before Spring.
Spring isn’t the only nor always the best time to do prep work. If you need to re-seed patches where the lawn looks bare, just before the snow comes is a good time of the year to start. The seeds will get worked into the soil as the snow falls and lay dormant during the winter months.
Once spring and the first melt arrive then the seeds will be in good mud and the early stages of germination will begin. Once they start getting the sun then good, fresh grass should follown in a couple of weeks.
Crabgrass and its relatives don’t thrive in the Fall or Winter and this means that you have a head start on that kind of weed control. As the new lawn grass starts to spread, it has a good chance of stopping the crabgrass, and with any luck it won’t develop at all.
Start applying the Spring fertilizer at the earliest possible time. This will help give the young shoots a good start and, if you use fertilizer that also controls weeds, you may solve two problems in one go.
As that snow continues to melt off there will be areas where the grass has become thatched – this is a condition in which the blades get lain over one another, then compressed from the snow pack on top. Some of these may die over the winter and this can leave you with a kind of straw-like covering, hence the name ‘thatch’.
Doing something about this is easy. Just cut the grass a little later in Fall than you need to so that the length is controlled. This restricts the height and helps keep thatching to a minimum.
In Spring give the grass a good raking. Of course, if you raked in the Fall, there won’t be any leaves to get rid of but the extra raking helps pull up thatched areas and allows air to get to the soil.
If the ground has become hard, or the soil is easily compacted, you can follow that up with an aeration. This can be done either by using a special attachment on a riding lawnmower and running it over the grass, or using special large-drum rollers with spikes poking out.
An inexpensive way is to use special shoes which are like golf shoes with spikes on the bottom. You just put them on then walk around the area you want to aerate. The tiny holes made by the shoes allow air to penetrate the soil more easily. At the same time, it makes channels for solid fertilizer pellets to fall into.
After de-thatching and aerating, your lawn will be ready for you to carry out any weed control and to start seeding, fertilizer application and regular mowing.
Lawn care may not be easy but it is worthwhile.
Lee Dobbins writes for Backyard Garden and Patio where you can learn more about gardening and lawn care.
Winterizing your lawn sprinkle system is very important when it comes to preventing the system from the risk of freeze damage. If you do not winterize the system, the water remaining in the system can freeze and crack or rupture the pipe walls.
Moreover, if the water freezes in backflow assembly, it can damage and can even crack the brass body of the internal components. You can use one of the following methods, as applicable, to winterize your sprinkle system and outside hose bibs.
Manual Method
If in your sprinkle system, there are manual drain valves attached at the end-points of the irrigation piping, you should use the manual drain method to winterize the system. You can follow the following steps.
1. Turn off the irrigation water supply in the basement.
2. Open all the manual drain valves to drain the water from the mainline.
3. After you have drained out the water, now you have to drain all the water that might be remaining between the irrigation water shut off valve and the backflow device. Generally, there remain some water in the backflow, the piping and the sprinklers. However, it depends on where are the drain valves located.
4. In order to drain that water, open the boiler drain valve, or the drain caps on the stop and waste valves whichever is applicable for your system.
5. Open the test cocks located on the backflow device.
6. In case, you have check valves in your sprinkle system, pull up on the sprinkle and drain the water out from the bottom of the system body.
7. Once you have drained out all the water, close all the valves.
Automatic Method
If in your sprinkle system, there are automatic drain valves attached at the end-points of the irrigation piping, you should use the Automatic drain method to winterize the system. You can follow the following steps.
1. When the pressure in the piping is less than 10 PSI, the automatic drain valves of the sprinkle system automatically open to drain water. You just need to activate this automatic feature.
2. Turn off the irrigation water supply in the basement.
3. In order to relieve the system pressure, activate a station. The water will automatically drain out of the machine.
4. After the water has drained out, now you have to drain all the water that might be remaining between the irrigation water shut off valve and the backflow device. Generally, there remain some water in the backflow, the piping and the sprinklers. However, it depends on where are the drain valves located.
5. In order to drain that remaining water, open the boiler drain valve or the drain cap on the stop and waste valve whichever is applicable for your system.
6. Open the test cocks located on the backflow device.
7. In case, you have check valves in your sprinkle system, pull up on the sprinkle and drain the water out from the bottom of the system body.
Blow out Method
In order to use this method, you need an air compressor with a Cubic Foot per Minute (CFM) rating of 125-185 for any mainline of 2″ or less and a PSI of 50-80.
You can rent this air compressor from your local equipment rental yard. Now, follow the following steps.
1. Attach the compressor to the mainline via a quick coupler, hose bib or other type connection. You can find these connections before the backflow device.
2. Open the test cocks located on the vacuum breaker.
3. Turn off the irrigation water supply located in the basement.
4. Open the drain on the supply line to drain the water.
5. After the water has been drained out, close the drain.
6. Now you have to connect the airline.
7. Attach the air compressor hose to the fitting while make sure the compressor valve is in the closed position.
8. Now locate such a station on the controller that is not only furthest from the compressor but also is the zone or sprinklers highest in elevation. Activate this station.
9. In order to allow air to slowly enter into the irrigation system, slowly open the valve on the compressor. Make sure, you have not yet closed the backflow isolation or Test Cock valves.
10. Be careful that the air pressure is constant at 50 PSI. However, you can increase the pressure allow the sprinkle heads to pop up and seal. Still, never exceed the air pressure 80 PSI.
11. Repeat this process for each station or zone to activate the same.
12. Once you are through, make sure there is no water on any of the heads.
Hence, here we see the various ways that you can use to winterize the sprinkle system and outside hose bibs. However, it is always recommended for you that if you want to use the blow out method, do not do it yourself until and unless you have a clear understanding of all the technicalities. Otherwise, it is better to hire a qualified licensed plumbing contractor to perform this method of winterization.
Owen Walcher writes for the a

Spring is in the air! Families can be seen leaving their homes and making their way to their yards. And who wants to spend time in a poorly groomed yard? No one! Make sure that this year’s yard season is spent in the most beautiful surroundings possible with the help of a landscaping contractor.
There is only one no fail tip to cheap landscaping, and that is to use what you already have. Improvising is a key skill in life that can help you to save money on just about everything, especially landscaping. Very few yards are truly bare; they have natural dips and hollows, trees and maybe even some rocks. These can all be used to make your home beautiful and for a fraction of what it would cost to get a landscaper to come in with all his fancy flowers!
No matter what kinds of trees that you have in your home, they can be used to add splendor to the entire look and feel of your home. If they are small fluffy looking trees then use them as others use flowers. Their color can be a great selling point for your yard. If they are tall and majestic, that too can work for you. Trees are the most natural beauty in the world. By simply planting some flowers around them you can bring them to life! Another great idea is to build a simple bench under them. This bench is going to make it look like your home is a glorious park. What a great place to sit and read your favorite book!
Rocks, they are something that many people complain about but if used the right way they are great for the looks of your yard. Did you know that there are people who go out of their way to spend big bucks on rocks for their hardscape? It is true, and they are paying for the same kinds of rocks that you already have in your yard! Use what you have and you are looking at real cheap landscaping costs.
The best way to plant a rock so that it looks natural is to dig a couple of inches down. I know that sounds funny the looking natural part. I mean, if they are already in your yard, they are natural right? Wrong, they may be natural but that does not mean they look it. Good hardscapes have rocks that are planted into the ground a bit. This way they do not look like they are sitting uncomfortably on the soil, they look like they are snuggled right in there. It makes a huge difference on the overall effect they are going to give.
Perennials, by definition, are plants that live for three or more years. This would stretch from dandelions to redwoods and many species in between. When refers to perennials, they are talking about flowering garden plants with herbaceous stems. These plants die down to the soil’s surface in winters while the root remains alive and ready to send fresh growth in the spring. The durability of the roots sets them apart. They come back unprompted year after year and set the garden ablaze with color from April to November. Perennials flower abundantly and multiply without being coaxed. They are easy to grow and tolerate considerable neglect. Perennials include delphiniums, columbines, daisies and peonies.
Annuals sprout from seed, bear fruit, seeds and flowers and die – all in a single year.
Biennials spend their first years growing, produce flowers and seeds in the second year- and then die. Sweet William, foxglove, Canterbury bell and wallflower are some of the common biennials.
Flowering perennials are noticeably long lived. The first recorded appearance of peonies dates back to 1864. Delphiniums thrive for seven to eight years where summers and winters are moderate. Day lilies, coreopsis, acanthus, lavender cotton and false indigo grow beautifully in a warm and humid climate. The dry and windy places do not lack for perennials. Oriental poppies, garden phlox, bearded irises, day lilies, chrysanthemum and many others flourish there.
The first challenge while growing perennials is to obtain continuity of color by planting various varieties to flower at different times. The aim is to present a charming array of color from early spring to late fall. However, a rare perennial flowers all of the growing season.
Another problem is to keep the assorted perennials from overgrowing one another in the beds and creating a mess. Some perennials like chrysanthemums spread so fast that they require drastic control methods like annual digging up and division of the roots. Others never outgrow their allotted space. Therefore, the planting has to be planned well in advance taking the characteristics of the various plants into consideration.
The third challenge while growing perennials is to obtain maximum results with minimum work. Good perennial gardens require plenty of air circulation. Stagnant air encourages plant diseases especially in humid places. They require abundant sunshine. Day lilies, columbine and leopards bane will tolerate shade whereas some like Japanese anemone, plantain lilies, yellow corydalis, western bleeding heart and Siberian bugloss will thrive in it. However, the majority will sprout spindly stems with few flowers without ample sun.
Finally, good perennial gardens require well-prepared soil. The soil should be moisture retentive as well as well drained. It should be rich enough to sustain the plants for many years and should be loose enough to permit air and water to reach the roots.
Not all gardens have all the characteristics. Given the air circulation and the sunshine, the rest can be prepared. Once the garden area has been finalized, you can move onto planning the type and location of the various plants.

A water garden can provide you with a level of relaxation and calm that you may never have even dreamed was possible. Adding a water garden to your backyard can transform your property’s outdoor space from a run of the mill lawn to a transporting, beautiful place that makes you feel instantly peaceful and tranquil.
One reason why a water garden creates such a calming atmosphere is due to the effects of the gentle noise of bubbling, flowing water. Water creates what is known as white noise, a calming atmosphere of sound that some experts believe is reminiscent of the sounds heard in the safety of the womb. White noise has been shown to reduce stress and tension, and regular exposure to environments rich with white noise, such as a water garden, may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The sound of water helps to block out other, less pleasant ambient sounds like traffic or the activity of noisy neighbors. The white noise of a water garden can create an atmosphere that makes you feel as though you are millions of miles away from your daily life, in a place of safety and calm that nothing can intrude into.
Another reason for the powerfully positive effect that a water garden has on the attitude of anyone sitting nearby is that a water garden has a tangible effect on climate and temperature. The evaporation process that is a natural part of any water garden disperses water molecules through the air surrounding the garden. The humidity of the air around your water garden is great for your skin, and its gentle, dewy moisture can help you feel refreshed after even a long and hectic day. In addition, a pond, waterfall, or other water garden feature provides subtle climate control, creating a very pleasant area around your water garden where temperatures are milder and more comfortable than elsewhere in your yard. During even the hottest summer day, your water garden will provide a comfortably cool spot where you can relax.
Because it is easier to maintain than most landscaping options, a water garden will leave you free to enjoy its beauty without worrying about devoting hours to its care. A water garden can help you make pleasant, soothing relaxation a viable part of your daily schedule. When you stroll into your backyard to enjoy your water garden, you are telling the world that you are ready to relax and unplug. By building your own water garden, you can enjoy the beautiful sight, soothing sounds, and comfortable climate that a water garden provides on a daily basis. Having a personal sanctuary in your own backyard is invaluable because it gives you a chance to unwind completely without having to do anything more than step out your door.
