With the GrainHome Improvement Tips and Tricks

Are you the type who loves having the perfect resource right at your fingertips to flip through whenever the need arises?  You’re not alone.  While the Internet is my favorite resource, I love having books around as well. 

Here is a list of sites containing “good guides” to consider adding to your arsenal:

• Home Improvement Books
• Books for Home Repair, Home Maintenance, Home Improvement
• Home Improvement Books, Construction Repair

I’m always on the hunt for good guides that will lead me through an array of projects, and guides that I can take along with me while I’m working on this, that, or the other thing.  Sometimes I’ll check these books out from the library first, and then make a buying decision later.  Good luck!

This weekend, I’m working on getting my vegetable and flower gardens in.  We are working on a LOT of landscaping (heavy equipment excavation) to fix the drainage issues surrounding our foundation, so all of my gardening will be in containers this year.  Here are some resources I’m using to help me through the process:

• Vegetable Gardens in Containers
• Growing Vegetables in Pots
• Container Gardening Guide
• Guide to Container Gardening
• Container Gardening Ideas

When I lived in apartments and rental homes, digging in the dirt was never something I was allowed to do (and, in some cases, there was no yard where I was renting), so container gardening was part of my yearly routine.  It’s nice to revisit this type of gardening again, despite how much I can’t wait to plant beds in the ground!
