Avalon Pover-Leong added this to From the Pros: Creating Quality Interiors That Stand the Test of Time
Is it earth-friendly? Thinking about the environment and sustainable designs is the foundation of ensuring a timeless design. Purchasing high-quality products and materials that will last ‘forever’ and are also recyclable is essential. Do your research and seriously weigh up the effects your purchase will have on the environment. If it’s a piece of furniture, think about when you will part with your purchase, if you’ll be able to use it in another capacity down the track, give it to someone else or recycle it?
Steve Taylor added this to Plan a Garden That Can Move House With You
Feature plants in the groundIf your space has a particular spot where a pot is not suitable, or you prefer your feature plant to be in the ground, then you can actually plant your addition into the ground. I recommend buying a larger plastic pot and up planting your specimen in a good potting mix. You can then dig a hole, but make sure it is twice the size of the pot and a third deeper, then back-fill the hole to the correct depth with loose screenings for drainage and insert your pot to height. Back-fill the remaining space with screenings and top dress with mulch. This will ensure the plant does not get wet feet and although the roots will search for soil and water through the bottom of the pot, they should not bed in too deep and be too hard to move. When it comes time to move, you may have to trim some of the roots, and if you do, you will then need to trim the canopy of the plant by about one third. You should also keep the roots moist with a piece of hessian or some water crystals. Also remember to feed the plant with some Seasol or a similar fertiliser to minimise the transplant shock. There is definitely some risk with this process and each plant variety will react differently so please see your local nursery for plant-specific transplant tips.

2. Transplant treesYou can also think about moving deciduous trees or shrubs while they are in their winter dormancy phase.TIP: Stake young, newly-planted trees if you have a windy garden. Use three to four stakes and tie with hessian or an old stocking.
