The container garden is very much in vogue these days as because it is both economic as well as artistic. The garden space decorated well with different brightly hued urns is entertainment in itself. It is important to know the various DIY suggestions and guides for container gardening. The suggestions will help you to make a garden with an exclusive air about it and that you can call your own. The first step that you have to take is to select the place where you wish to set up the urns. A careful selection of he various advantageous points need to be made so that your garden looks both artistic as well as it is clearly visible. It is wrong to think that your garden needs expensive pots to make it look gorgeous. Even fruit cans, grocery bags, plastic buckets are enough to make it look good. Your creative mind is all you require to make the garden just as wish.
For those of you who wish to make a garden of herbs it is imperative that you select an area that gets the maximum sunlight. Herbs need the sun a lot. Next get a grocery bag and make a few holes in it to drain out the excess water. Fill the bag with the right kind of soil and place the herbs in it. Mix the soil with fertilizers that release slowly into the soil. To avoid the soil from getting drained out along with the water the best option is to use tissue paper on the holes. All time favorite with all of us is the tomato. It is easy to grow them in plastic buckets. Just select the variety of tomato plant that yields fruits throughout the year. The right soil again is a must. Bright sunlight is what tomatoes need to grow well. Rich supply of fertilizers and plenty of water is also a requisite if you wish to have good quality yield. To grow small flowering plants use the orange fruit box. By simply painting the box in vibrant colors you can make it look attractive. The soil required for the violets and the pansies should be light and watering must be done regularly. Another option you have at your disposal is the terrarium. Glass bowls like the goldfish bowl are the best way to grow variegated plants in it .These come cheap and yet are beautiful especially for indoor decoration. To decorate the steps or smaller spaces the clamp shells are the best. Less soil and a low maintenance cost is the advantage of clam shells. Here again the smaller variety of plants can be grown to add a difference to your precious garden.
The two main interfaces of iDrive have been upgraded substantially - the iDrive controller knob and the iDrive display. The iDrive controller knob now has three modes of input - turning, pushing and tipping. You tip (tilt?) the controller from side to side for horizontal scrolling functions, and turn clockwise and anticlockwise for vertical scrolling functions. Pushing is only four-way, give the knob a little tug north, south east or west. Finally there is pressing down on the button for selection. The iDrive menu interfaces have been redesigned to have the same scheme and structure, allowing the menu navigation to be more intuitive. There are also four quick-access buttons for the CD, radio, telephone and navigation GPS functions. There is also one more additional input method - voice control, an obvious response to the LINGUATRONIC system from Mercedes-Benz. You activate voice control from a button on the steering wheel. Commands for voice entry (what to say) are shown on the display, and the system also accepts synonyms of the terms.
The iDrive display is now a delicious 10.2 inch high resolution LCD panel that can display 1280 x 480 pixels, which means the display is capable of the resolution width of a typical 17 or 19 inch 4:3 LCD monitor. This should allow everything especially navigation maps to be displayed with greater detail and clarity. There is a very good use for the high display resolution - text. Drive’s ConnectedDrive system now has full web browsing capabilities. The car dials up to the internet via GSM, GPRS or EDGE. You just need a SIM card with a data plan. It’s a shame there is no 3G. A mouse pointer can be controlled via pushing the iDrive knob in four directions, and pushing it down to register a click. The user can also zoom into text on a web page by a factor of 1.5 or 2. For safety reasons, the web browser may only be activated when the car is at a standstill.
