Theyre so real one can almost hear the water ripple. Use of photo murals is proving to be a popular way of colorfully decorating a large expanse of wall. Some consider it a nifty way to beat the gasoline crunch. Use of views from mountains, meadows, forests or beaches transform the home into a choice vacation spot. But the real value of the murals is that they add illusions of space to the actual boundaries of a room. Its an optical illusion and, according to experts, the concept is centuries old.

BACKYARD SHEDS Unless fertilized WAREHOUSE regularly, most lawns are deficient in nitrogen in four to six weeks after application, Morris advised. This causes slow growth, narrow leaves and a light green color. There is no easy test for soil nitrogen. Recommendations are based on experimental results. These may be modified according to the amount of watering and whether clippings are removed. Nitrogen is the most important element in developing a dense, attractive turf.

Probably she cuts out the pattern on the floor, puts it together on the kitchen table and then retires to the laundry room where her sewing machine is squeezed into a comer. Why not bring this craft into the family circle? Instead of trying to hide the sewing machine as though it is a blight on the landscape, simply redesign the family room to include a sewing comer that is attractive and useful. dis- moods of murals depicting tional screen with wood or glass. - Cap unused flues or chimneys. - Close off unused rooms, especially those on northern or windy sides of a dwelling and reduce the temperature in those areas. for base- - todays city dwellers.

Soil test summaries in the Salt Lake valley have shown that 90 percent of lawn samples are high or very high in phosphorus. Potassium is also usually adequate for lawn grasses on all May and ending in September, should be sufficient for a good lawn. Instructions on the between products with the same nutrient content? Morris asked. The big choice is between fast and slow release of the nitrogen fraction, he said. The percentage of the total nitrogen that is water insoluble and that which is water soluble usually is listed on the fertilizer bag. In water soluble form, the nitrogen is available quickly, and in the insoluble form it is available slowly. Kentucky bluegrasses need large quantities of but sandy soils. Therefore, nitrogen is often the only fertilizer element needed regularly unless a soil test specifically shows a deficiency of phosphorus or potassium. If phosphorus is added a a fertilizer, it might be wise to apply once every two to three years. Potassium could be added once every one to two years. In general the order of importance of the three fertilizer nutrients for lawn fertilizer bag should be read and followed. Many commercial lawn fertilizers will state the proper spreader setting for various rates of application on the bag. If setting instructions are not on the spreader bag, be sure to properly calibrate the spreader. This can be done, by pushing the spreader, with a known amount of fertilizer over a known surface area. Apply fertilizer only when the grass blades are dry, unless instructions on the bag state otherwise. It is best to travel in two directions at right angles to each other -- nitrogen. Most lawns is nitrogen, bluegrass varieties perform well when fertilized with about four to six pounds of available nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year.
