But each will rob the other of a measure of soil fertility unless the lawn under the trees is fertilized.

Studies published by the American Association of Nurserymen show that landscaping reduces direct solar radiation on homes during the summer, as the dark, broad surfaces of carefully positioned plants absorb the heat. Plantings also reduce air leakage through cracks and joints around windows and doors, at roof eaves, building corners, and at the foundation line by lowering wind velocity at building surfaces. Low, dense shrubbery, for example, creates dead air space when planted against the foundation line. This insulates the home and earth from abrupt temperature changes. Shading your home is important, too. In one experiment, the roof of an unshaded home reached 170 degrees during one day. The roof of an adjacent home, shaded by a tall deciduous tree (one that drops its leaves in the fall), stayed near room temperature. Although it may be the most neglected strategy available for conserving energy, landscaping is one of the most pleasing Paperback. Time-teste- d ideas for natural foods gardening.
