Botanical Plant Name for suitable plant for container growing outside	Common Name	Deciduous (Herbaceous)/ Evergreen/ Semi-evergreen Plant Type	Flower Colour and Flowering Season or used primarily for its Foliage or Fruit rather than its flowers	Height x Width in inches (cms) - 1 inch = 2.5 cms, 12 inches = 1 foot, 36 inches = 3 feet = 1 yard, 40 inches = 100 cms	Foliage Colour	Full Sun, 0.25 shade-0.75 sun, 0.5 shade - 0.5 sun. 0.25 sun - 0.75 shade, Full Shade	Zone Needs winter protection	Plant Use	Other kinds to try
Nandina domestica 'Firepower'	Sacred Bamboo	Evergreen Shrub	Grown for its foliage. Small white flowers occur some years in summer and in warm areas they may produce orange-red fruits, but neither of these is the major beauty of the plant.	40 (100)	An open branching upright shrub. The leaves are twice divided so that each one has many leaflets. The overall effect is very elegant. In spring he newly opened leaves are reddish, in autumn they turn purplish.	Full Sun to Full Shade	7.5	The reddish leaves of spring are an excellent background for yellow daffodils growing through a carpet of white-flowered Iberis sempervirens. This trio planted in an urn or tub would give a warm and light effect to a patio on cold spring days.
Narcissus 'February Gold'	Daffodil	Hardy Bulb	In early spring the golden yellow flowers open, one per flower stem, held just above the height of the leaves. The trumpet is quite long with a frilled and fluted edge, and the petals bend slightly backwards.	12 (30)	This is a shorter and more robust plant than the common daffodil. The narrow strap-shaped leaves look neat as they tend to stay erect.	Full Sun to Full Shade	6	Grow this brilliant harbinger of spring in a tub or trough with the scarlet-fruited Cotoneaster conspicuus as a background and trailing ivy beneath, or in a windowbox underplanted with pansy 'Universal True Blue'.	'Tete-a-Tete', similar to 'February Gold' but several flowers per stem; 'Sweetness', pure yellow, very fragrant, straight shorter cup than the 'February Gold'; 'Ice Follies', 16 (40), milk white petals, primrose cup, coarser foliage; 'Soleil d'Or', 14 (35), golden petals, tangerine cup; 'Thalia', 12 (30), three milk white flowers per stem; 'Minnow', 7 (18), four or more flowers, creamy yellow petals; 'Cheerfulness', 14 (35), yellow or white, scented; Narcissus triandrus albus, 4 (10), about three ivory white flowers per stem; Narcissus triandrus albus 'Paper White', 14 (35), 10 white flowers on each stem.
Nicotiana 'Domino Lime'	Flowering Tobacco Plant	Bushy Annual	From the top of the leafy shoots the trumpet-like flowers arise. The narrow tube is about 3 (8) long, sticky and covered with fine hairs and flares out widely to form round to oval lobes. The delicate lime green flowers have a pleasant scent, specially at night, and last all summer and into the autumn.	12 (30)	The large oval pointed leaves are mid green with a soft matt texture.	Full Sun to 0.5 shade - 0.5 sun	10	The scent and colour make this a valuable plant. Combine it in an urn or windowbox with blue verbena and an edging of Lobelia erinus 'Blue Cascade' and the overall colour will be a unique sea green to turquoise.	'Domino White', creamy-white flowers; 'Domino Crimson', crimson red; 'Domino Pink White Eye', soft pink with white eye; 'Domino Mixed', crimson-red, pink, lime and white; 'Nicki Mixed', 18 (45), similar to above but taller; Nicotiana alata 'Lime Green', 24 (60), greenish-yellow flowers; Nicotiana langsdorfii, 40 (100), pendant green bell-like flowers.
Nymphaea pygmaea 'Rubis'	Miniature Waterlily	Deciduous Aquatic with floating leaves	The flowers are wine red, slightly paler on the outer petals, and the centre has numerous orange-yellow stamens. They are about 1.5 (4) across and appear on the water surface in the summer.		This has leaves about 1.5 (4) across. They are cleft in one side and sometimes have a purplish tinge.	Full Sun to 0.5 shade - 0.5 sun	6	A half-barrel or an old bath, not more than 18 (45) deep, filled almost to the brim with these delightful circular floating leaves and bowl-like flowers floating on the water surface will give an air of tranquillity to a patio. A few Iris laevigata 'Variegata', with their vertical white-edged leaves and majestic blue flowers, and the hazy pale blue flowers of water forget-me-not planted at the edge, complete the scene and soften the rim of the container.	Nymphaea pygmaea 'Alba', like the 'Rubis' but with white flowers; 'Helvola', as above but canary yellow flowers and mottled purplish brown leaves.
Ocimum basilicum 'Purple Ruffles'	Purple Basil	Branching Annual Herb	Small spikes of purple flowers appear in summer; they are pleasant but not a major feature.	12 (30)	Branching stems and shining oval leaves form a dense bush. The foliage is dark purple with a metallic sheen, corrugated and ruffled at the edge.	Full Sun to 0.5 shade - 0.5 sun	9	As well as its useful culinary properies it looks superb in contrast with the long thin green leaves of chives and the bright green mossy leaves of parsley.	'Green Bouquet', green leaves with small flower spikes of lime-green to gold.
Olea Europaa	Olive	Evergreen Shrub	In late summer short sprays of tiny white flowers open; they are insignificant visually but their scent is very fragrant. In warmer climates they are followed by edible green fruits that become purplish as they ripen.	48 (120)	Stiff grey-green stems become grey and gnarled with age. The branches bear dark grey-green glossy leaves about 1 (2.5) long and oval in shape. Since the laves are small the tree casts only light shade as it matures.	Full Sun to 0.5 shade - 0.5 sun	9	Well known for its fruit, for many people the olive brings back memories of holidays in warmer climates. In a tub it brings a delicious scent to the patio and as it matures the branches will look dramatic if festooned with the winter-flowering Clematis cirrhosa balearica and an underplanting of Rosmarinus 'Severn Sea', with its blue flowers and fine green foliage. These three are good company since they all hail from the Mediterranean.
Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'		Evergreen Herbaceous Perennial	In summer racemes of small lilac flowers are formed and these are followed by black fruits. However, it is the black leaves that are the main feature	6 (15)	The roots give rise to a tufted clump of curving leathery grass-like leaves. They are glossy and so dark in colour that they appear black rather than dark purple.	Full Sun to Full Shade	7	This dark glossy tuft is unique. It looks dramatic as a background to pure white snowdrops in winter or as an edging to the broad blue-grey leaves of Hosta sieboldiana elegans in summer. These combinations will give a startling effect in any windowbox or urn.	Ophiopogon jaburan, 6 (15), dark green leaves, bell-shaped white flowers in summer give rise to deep blue berries; Ophiopogon jaburan 'Variegatus', as above but with cream stripes to the leaves, also slower growing.

ZONES Chart - Zones designate the lowest range of temperatures in which a plant will normally survive. Thus a plant in Zone 8 will normally survive between -12C and -6C (10F and 20F). Britain and Ireland are within zones 7-9 inclusive.			Deciduous plant - normally loses all its leaves in the winter. It may have different coloured coloured spring or autumn foliage Evergreen plant - normally retains most of its leaves throughout the year. Evergreens are effective visually all year round and are useful as a permanent screen or shelter Semi-evergreen plant - normally retains some leaves during a typical winter or dormant season.				House in winter to protect plant from severe frost damage. Move the plant pot into a greenhouse, or near a window for light in the house, shed or garage.	Since there is some seasonal variation in when a plant blooms from year to year, it cannot be precise but is a useful guide. Seasons are given rather than months since the former apply worldwide.	Plants vary in their requirement of direct sunlight: some have a wide tolerance, others have precise needs. Generally the middle of the range shown will give the best results. The shade section shows the proportion of daylight hours that the plant should be without direct sun:-

STAGE 1 GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY
It would be useful if when you decide to change your garden that you use a uniform garden style throughout your garden and the GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY aims to provide pointers.
The new pages (April 2016) in the gallery will have a suitable list of plants on each page (as that plant gets further detailed in the ALL PLANTS INDEX GALLERY), then each row containing that plant name in the GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY will also be updated. I aim to input details of plants starting with A in alphabetical order to Z.

You need to know the following:-
1. How much time per week are you prepared to look after your garden or prepared to pay someone else to do it for you?
2. How much are you are prepared to spend on creating your garden and then on its maintenance for its feeding and replacement of its plants and hard landscaping?
3. In order for you to go into your garden, there must be mystery in it, so that from any position in the house you cannot see all the garden, otherwise you will not be tempted to go out into it.
4. You must decide what garden style you are going to use THROUGHOUT the garden and make sure of using 3. the mystery in it as well.
5. What plants do you want to keep in your existing garden and incorporate into your new garden?
6. What Human Problems do you have and what Site Problems are there?

Whether your Heavy Clay or Light Sandy / Chalk Soil is excessively Alkaline (limy) / Acidic or not, then there is an Action Plan for you to do with your soil, which will improve its texture to make its structure into a productive soil instead of it returning to being just sand, chalk, silt or clay.

Problems caused by builders:- 1. Lack of soil on top of builders rubble in garden of just built house.
2. Clay soil of Garden slopes towards house with no drainage of this rainwater by the house wall.

In planning your beds for your garden, before the vertical hard-landscaping framework and the vertical speciman planting is inserted into your soft landscaping plan, the following is useful to consider:-
1. The ground plan usually depends upon 1 or more unalterable existing features. The position of the doors of the house will dictate the positions of paths, the shortest route to the kitchen may indicate the best place for a paved area for eating and drinking out of doors, or the kept trees/shrubs may indicate what garden style is used.
2. Rules of Proportion -
A. A border should be roughly 1/2 as wide as the hedge or wall behind it.
B. The proportion of planted areas to paved or turfed areas should be 1/3 to 2/3, or a 1/4 to 3/4, not 1/2 and 1/2.
C. Within a bed or border, unless a 2-dimensional pattern on the ground is the objective, the height and bulk of the plants should be varied to avoid monotony; it is particularly important to provide strong planting, in terms of either height or bulk or both, at either end of a long bed.
D. The ground surface provides a background to the plants that is as important as the hedges, walls or fences that surround it. Grass is perhaps the most satisfying carpet to use, the cool green forming a restful antidote to the dancing colours of the flowers. Use different coloured pea-shingle inside Cedar Gravel for people in wheelchairs, or infirm in their legs or who suffer from Hay Fever.

Since 2006, I have requested photos etc from the Mail-Order Nurseries in the UK and later from the rest of the World. Few nurseries have responded.
I worked for a lady, who with her husband took 35 mm slides of plants in the 1960's and 1970's. She allowed me to digitise some of her Kodachrome slides, which I have used in my website. I discovered that at least the green colour of the foliage became very much darker over that period of years to 2008, by comparing wildflower photos from her slides with digital photos supplied by a current Wildflower mail-order nursery, so I stopped creating my Foliage Galleries.
I bought myself a camera some years ago and started taking photos, some of which have been put into the website. I started taking photos of the Heathers at the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley garden. I have displayed the Heathers foliage in closeup since their leaves are 2mm long and in macro-scale in the Heather Galleries - sometimes the foliage colour at the terminal end of the foliage stem is only a few leaves, whereas others have the same foliage colour throughout the stem. I discovered that some of the heathers did not have the correct plant label, since the flower colour did not correspond with the flower colour in the literature. I was informed that since kids have free rein, that perhaps they move the plant labels. Since, I cannot rely that the heather plant label next to the heather plant is valid, I have stopped taking photos of those heathers.
This leaves a small problem, especially since very few gardens open to the public have their plants labelled so that the public can use the data on their label to buy that named plant from a nursery or garden centre. Currently (June 2018) I insert photos from Wikimedia Commons as well as my own.
I have found the above book - which does not contain any colour plant photos. Since it had the following experts help in creating it, I have decided to use its information in these 10 galleries to help the public:-

T.W. Sanders Editor of Amateur Gardening in 1895.
A.J Macself Editor of Amateur Gardening in 1926 - both Sanders and Macself had worked entirely to the handlists published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
A.G.L. Hellyer in this work of revision and also in checking the all-important cultural notes sought the help of experts in the various classes of plant:-
- Mr S.A. Pearce, Assistant Curator at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew undertook the revision of those genera of plants which in this country are mainly grown under glass.
- Mr Will Ingwersen dealt with the Rock plants,
- Mr N. Catchpole made himself responsible for trees and shrubs;
- Mr G.A Phillips for herbaceous plants,
- Mrs Francis Perry for water plants,
- Mr A.J. Macself for ferns,
- Mr E. Cooper for orchids,
- Mr J.S Dakers for annuals,
- Miss Doreen Crowther for fruit and vegetables

with the aid of further information from other books, magazines and cross-checking on the internet.
In this edition of the book Sander's Encyclopaedia, the individual soil mixtures to grow plants have been retained, for it was considered that many gardeners might still wish to use them in certain circumstances. The John Innes mixtures may be substituted wherever desired. Details of these individual mixtures will be put into these galleries.

Container Gardening at my Workplace		I usually find that employers love to increase their profits from little effort or cost on their part for their employees:- "Dr Chris Knight from Exeter University and his fellow psychologists, who have been studying the issue for 10 years, concluded that employees were 15% more productive when "lean" workplaces are filled with just a few houseplants, as employees who actively engage with their surroundings are better workers. Even if this is only 1 plant per square metre. "What was important was that everybody could see a plant from their desk. If you are working in an environment where there's something to get you psychologically engaged you are happier and you work better," Knight said." "Plants at Work is a national information program of the green industry to inform businesses and the public of the benefits of using plants indoors. Studies have shown that plants in homes and workplaces help reduce stress, increase productivity, enhance employee attitudes, lower operating costs, help in “green building” design, and improve air quality. Plants have been shown to reduce employee absenteeism by 14 percent. The main effect of plants on buildings environments, however, may be on the outside. One young healthy tree, according to the International Society of Arboriculture, has a net cooling effect equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day. Other industry statistics indicate the proper use and placement of trees can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 20 percent. U.S. researchers Fisk and Rosenfeld of the Berkeley National Laboratory have quantified this into a $58 billion annual savings from sick-building illness with the use of plants, 40 percent of all sick days related to poor indoor air quality in their study. In addition, they estimate an additional $200 billion could be saved using plants indoors from improvements in worker performance. "
Use self-watering containers to:- reduce the temperature range of the pot with its plant by fluctuating from the heat in the office or sunshine heating the side of the pot to the cold of the night, reduce the transpiration of water from the pot being heated during the day. each self-watering container can be placed in different coloured trays - green for cactus which needs infrequent watering, yellow for Succulent plants which need more frequent watering, etc. The night-time cleaning staff can then refill the water reservoir as required or replace the pot to provide a new plant for that group once a fortnight and pass their old plant in its pot to another group. Self-watering containers have an inner pot that holds the plant and soil, and an outer pot or bottom reservoir that holds extra water. A wick joins the two and pulls water up into the root ball as it's needed. Most reservoirs are large enough to supply water for several days or more depending on the weather. Liquid fertilizer can be added to the reservoir to ensure an adequate supply of nutrients. These containers can generally be used both indoors and out. Watering Tips • Start with a moisture-retentive soil mix, such as Container Mix or Self-Watering Container Mix. • Water until all the soil in the container is moist and water runs out the drainage holes. • For large containers, reduce evaporation by covering the soil mix surface with a thin layer of mulch such as 1 inch (2.5 cms) depth of shredded bark. • Never water your plants with softened water. It contains dissolved salts that are toxic to plants. Rainwater (collected it in a barrel from your roof) is best. I do not think that plants would like fluoride in their water. • Cluster your potted plants to create a little microclimate that will minimize moisture loss and increase humidity.		8 Benefits Of Plants In The Office by Barry of CIPHR:- Adding plants to your office is something that every employee should want to do. The benefits, both physical and psychological are evidenced in numerous scientific studies. The cost savings are also significant enough for any cost conscious business owner to sit up and take notice. Here are just a few of the benefits of going green in the office: Reduce stress Introducing plants to your working environment reduces stress. In a study conducted in 2010, significant reductions were recorded where plants were located in the office. Including; Tension/Anxiety – 37% reduction Depression/Dejection – 58% reduction Anger/Hostility – 44% reduction Fatigue – 38% reduction The closing statement of the study reads: This study shows that just one plant per work space can provide a very large lift to staff spirits, and so promote wellbeing and performance. Buildings and office environments appear more calming and simply a nicer place to be when plants are present. They are more interesting, colourful and relaxing. The effects aren’t just psychological either, physiological effects such as lowered blood pressure are also proven benefits of a greener office. Plants also enable us to perceive our surroundings better, we feel more comfortable and this, in turn, reduces stress. Increase productivity Productivity is known to be improved in an environment were plants are present. Cognitive tasks, concentration and focus are all improved, therefore increasing productivity within the workforce. In numerous studies conducted it has been found that fewer mistakes are made, tasks are completed faster and, in the case of computer workers, productivity increased by between 10%-15%. The higher level of concentration can be attributed to the plants ability to reduce excess carbon dioxide in the air. Reduce sickness and absence Introducing plants to an office environment has been reported to reduce absenteeism by up to 50%, and reduce minor illness by 30%. Reducing absence within the business not only maintains productivity, but will reduce the cost of absence year on year. A better environment to work in Most will agree that an office with plants present is a nicer place to be. As we’re within this environment for a considerable time most days, it’s important that we should be comfortable. Office plants not only improve office surroundings for employees, they also provide a more welcoming place for clients. Cleaner air to breathe By introducing a ratio of 1 plant per 3 employees, air quality can be improved within the office. CO2 can be reduced by 50% as well as a reduction in the dust, bacteria and mould which would otherwise be inhaled by employees. Dust levels in the workplace can be reduced by up to 20 per cent when plants are introduced. There are also man made toxins within an office created by plastics, paint, furniture, carpets, and certain cleaning products that will be reduced significantly by plants. With correct placement of plants, the need for air con can also be reduced and the air kept at a higher humidity (up to 20%). By reducing the dry air caused by air conditioning and increasing humidity, illnesses such as tickly coughs are much less common. Reduce noise One lesser known advantage of plants is their ability to reduce ambient noise within an office, as much as 5 decibels. background noise, which could otherwise be distracting, is reduced allowing employees to concentrate on their work. Increased creativity In one study, plants were seen to increase creativity by 15%. One theory suggests that plants being present invoke our ancient instincts that there is food nearby (berries, fruit etc) and so we relax, become calmer, are happier and more creative. You’ll look healthier It has been found that plants can reduce dry skin by 20%. This means we look healthier as well as feeling better! Which plants do best in an office environment? Keeping plants in an office environment requires some forethought due to certain environmental conditions such as air conditioning, periods where the office is empty etc. Some plants which will thrive include: Aloe Spider plants Cactus Succulents Ivy Rubber plant Peace lily I would also suggest that if your plants flower in the office, that they do not have any scent. Some of your staff or visitors might be affected.
I recommend the following self-watering system as described in my Vegetable Gallery:- The unique ‘Aquafeed’ self-watering system from Amberol keeps plants permanently watered, releasing the vital nutrients in the soil. The high capacity capillary action wick lifts water and added nutrients from a large, built in water storage chamber protected from the heat of the sun, so simply top up the reservoir twice a week in most conditions. Besides their other self-watering pots there is their Salad Server , which is perfect for growing every sort of salad crop, lettuce, radishes, spring onions, beetroot and many others. With its built in water reservoir and aquafeed system you can expect superb crops with minimum maintenance and effort. These could be put near the windows in the works canteen and when the products are ready, the canteen staff can place them on the counter for staff to pick up and eat the salad crop.
Making a potting mix for your self-watering container:- In typical container growing mixes, structure is created by combining 2 basic components: something that will absorb water and something that water will flow round. One planting mixture combination is:- 8 parts of spagnum peat moss, 1 part of vermiculite, and 1 part of perlite 10 parts of spent mushroom compost or 2.5 parts of Worm Castings or 2.5 parts of your own compost from a Garden Wormery. which is the best choice for self-watering containers. 2/3rds fill a wheelbarrow with the above planting mixture and according to Edward C. Smith (for Americans) add:- 1/3 cup blood meal (for nitrogen) 1/3 cup colloidal phosphate (for phosphorus) 1/3 cup greensand ( for potassium and trace elements) and 1 tablespoon azomite. or according to me (for UK Citizens) add: 500 grms Cal-Sea-Feed (for trace elements and minerals, calcium which neutralizes the acidity of the peat, and Cal-Sea-Feed also encourages beneficial soil bacteria) 500 grms Blood, Fish, Bone (for Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus) before mixing thoroughly. Add water whilst mixing to make a moist mixture but not a soggy mess. Transfer the result to a self-watering container (whose reservoir is already filled with water). Detail of above materials: Spagnum peat. Partially decomposed remains of centuries-old sphagnum moss, which holds both water and air. It is organic matter, but it decays very slowly and adds litlle in the way of nutrition. It is very acidic, with a pH of 3.5-4.5. Sedge peat. The ancient, partially decomposed remains of sedge, reeds and grasses. It is of a darker colour than sphagnum peat and holds more water. Coco peat, or coir. Recycled coconut husks, used for aeration and water retention as an ecologically sound alternative to sphagnum peat. It holds more water than sphagnum peat and has a pH range of 5.7 to 6.8. Bark and/or sawdust. Used as a basic ingredient in some potting mixes. It provides organic matter, but few nutrients. Vermiculite. Made from a form of mica rock. The ore has been heated causing it to expand and creating within it spaces for air and water. A cubic foot of vermicultite can hold 32 pounds of water - about 8 gallons. In addition to its air- and water-holding ability, it provides some potassium, calcium and magnesium with a neutral pH. Perlite. Made from volcanic rock that is crushed, and then heated, causing the particles to expand like popcorn. Perlite holds water on its surface and keeps soil light and fluffy. It adds no nutrients to the mix and has a neutral pH. Limestone (either dolomitic or calcitic). A source of calcium to counteract the acidity of peat moss. Dolomitic limestone also contains magnesium. Details of organic fertilizer: Azomite Trace Mineral Fertilizer is natural mined rock from a specific volcanic deposit in central Utah marketed as a free-flowing, less than 200 mesh, tan to pink powder with a density of 48 lbs./cubic foot. No additives, synthetics or fillers. Mineralogically, Azomite is rhyolitic tuff breccia. Azomite has 67 major and trace elements, so its name means "A to Z Of Minerals Including Trace Elements." Typical analysis shows every element that's beneficial to plants and animals, and other elements (micro-nutrients) scientists believe essential. Azomite was mined since 1942 as soil amendment. Crop farmers report improved growth, health, size. Potatoes report 19-60% increase in yield; sugar beets are larger, with higher sugar content. Citrus growers report improved recovery from decline, healthier trees. This material is easier to buy in America. I would tend to use the Cal-Sea-Feed in the UK, since it is easier to find and it will provide the Calcium instead of from the Limestone in the list above to neutralize the acidity of the peat. Greensand is essentially a hydrated silicate of iron and potash. It is a natural mineral extracted from the famous greensand deposits of Sewell, New Jersey, USA. This natural mineral has a tendency to open tight soils and bind loose soils. Nutrient availability through its' "base-exchange" action releases the minerals in the soil for assimilation by the plant. Valued by growers for decades this rock powder contains a large amount of potassium and trace minerals. Greensand renews vigour of the mineral exchange in the top soil. Cal-Sea-Feed - Calcified Seaweed substitute - A sustainable alternative to Calcified Seaweed for growers. Calcified Seaweed is no longer approved by the Soil Association for use in organic growing, due to concerns that the harvesting of this material is not sustainable and has adverse effects on the marine environment. Cal-Sea-Feed is a blend of dried seaweed, harvested in a sustainable and environmentally benign system, and natural calcium compounds - formulated to give growers the benefits of Calcified Seaweed without the concerns. Cal-Sea-Feed is rich in minerals, encourages beneficial soil bacteria, helps improve heavy soil structure and neutralises acid soils (do not use with acid loving plants). Approved for Organic growing by the Soil Association. Blood, Fish, Bonemeal. A traditional long lasting organic based compound fertilizer - the favourite feed for generations of gardeners. Use anywhere in the garden for flowers, fruit, vegetables. Nitrogen 5% Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) 5% of which Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) soluble in water 0.44%(P0.19%) Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) insoluble in water 4.56%(P1.9%) Potassium Oxide (K2 0) soluble in water 6.5%(K5.4%). Bone meal is an organic fertlizer that is derived from the meat processing industry. Animal bones are cooked and then ground and packaged, then sold as a slow-release fertilizer that offers a good amount of phosphorous. The N-P-K ratio of bone meal is generally 4-12-0, though some steamed bone meals have N-P-Ks of 1-13-0. Bone meal is frequently used to fertilize spring-blooming bulbs, but it also works well in vegetable gardens, on lawns, and in containers to provide phosphorus. Recent CSU research results concluded that no rock P (regardless of mesh size) is available for plant use unless the soil pH is below 7.0. Using this planting mix, a self-watering container and the information in Ed Smith's book, you should be able to grow very good vegetables on the balcony 12 floors up a skyscraper or anywhere else where sunshine gets to a part of your outside space.

Why Topsoil is not suitable for use in a Container:- In a container, topsoil compacts and the spaces between soil particles disappear. Compacted soil cannot receive, contain, or allow for the movement of enough air and water. Why adding water retention gel to the container mix is not suitable:- Since the container is self-watering, you do not need any additives to increase water retention. These additives are called hydrogels, and they are meant to be used in traditional pots, which dry out quickly. When they are added to the potting mix in self-watering containers, the mix quickly becomes waterlogged and the plants drown.

Use Terrariums in Offices whose contents can be installed by your own staff to complement plant/flowers supplied by an external company:- Use a company like Provincial Planters who can provide interior and exterior plants and flowers for offices and workspaces for central London and UK Nationwide coverage with their comprehensive aftercare service. One of the options from Provincial Planters for the Office Furniture tops is Terrarium Displays with these benefits:- Minimal design blends with traditional and contemporary surroundings. Display something different in your reception area to the normal flower display. Wide range of Terrarium sizes and styles to choose from. FREE replacements should any flower fall below standard. Scheduled maintenance visits from our trained technicians. Easy to theme around yearly events. which can also be used in these other following areas:- Reception Areas Shelving Units Meeting or dining tables Mobile desk stations or work pods Bath & Washroom facilities To make the sight of the terrarium more personal to the employee working close to it, then could ask the supplier company to supply the terrarium and either:- plant it up as suggested by the employee from their supplier stock or supply those contents and allow the employee the time to set it up themself.
If the supplier company above supplied the terrarium then one of the following series of contents could be implemented by the employee and the employee would have to maintain it. These come from RHS Miniature Garden Grower Terrariums & other tiny gardens to grow Indoors & Out by Holly Farrell. Published in 2016. ISBN 978 1 78472 172 5. "Terrariums are perhaps the ultimate miniature garden: a closed terrarium is an entire miniature ecosystem contained within a vessel that can be as small as a salt shaker. However, open terrariums offer many opportunities to the miniature gardener to bring a wide variety of plants to a windowsill, table or desk, with no worries about leaking pots. Many different landscapes can be created, from mossy hills to sandy desserts. Alternatively, use a terrarium as a chance to observe a single plant in detail - an orchid, spring bulb or water lily. Terrariums are brilliant experiments - especially closed systems - and attractive planters, but don't expect them to last forever when several plants are put in a small container. Ultimately they will outgrow their space, just like any other potted plant, so be prepared to start again if necessary. The original plants needn't be wasted: give them to another employee to plant in their own terrarium."
Terrarium	Introduction to each miniature gardening project
Ecosytems in miniature	"Terrariums are ideal to inject some greenery to a workplace or table. Raising the plants to eye-level, and planting just 1 or 2 within a container, encourages a closer look at just how amazing plants are. Even the less glamorous plants, such as moss and lichen, are no less beautiful when observed in this way."
Terrarium containers and base layers	"Container choice - qualities for a terrarium container:- First, and in contrast to almost all other forms of container gardening, it should have no drainage holes. Second, it needs to be made completely, or almost completely, of glass. If it is to be a closed terrarium, it will also need some form of lid or stopper for the top. In the base of the container should go 3 layers of materials: gravel, charcoal and soil/potting compost."
Terrarium planting	"Before choosing a container, consider whether your choice of plant is practical for a terrarium: remember, everything that goes into the terrarium has to fit through the neck of the vessel. However, there are little tricks to ease the process."
Foliage and flower terrariums	"Many plant species that can live happily without direct sunlight prefer damp conditions to dry, so will therefore thrive contained within glass, in an open or closed terrarium. Generally, these are plants used purely for their (evergreen) foliage, such as ferns, but many other species such as begonias, spruce and peperomia will also do well."
Cactus terrariums	Cacti are all succulents, and as such have the same adaptations to the harsh environments they live in: fleshy leaves and stems to store water, spines to deter animals that might like to take a bite out of them. They readily bring to mind a desert landscape, so plant a few in a sandy terrarium."
Spring bulb terrariums	"This is not a true terrarium, because there is no growing medium supplied for the bulbs, and because to force spring bulbs to flower earlier, indoors, is a short-term rather than permanent planting. However, growing flowers in this way is fascinating, as it's possible to watch not just the shoots but also the roots develop daily."
Carnivorous plant terrariums	"Most plants get their nutrients from the soil, taking them up through the roots. Carnivorous plants evolved in poor soil, and instead get their nutrients by digesting insects that they have trapped in their leaves."
Aquariums	"Containers of water need not include fish: water plants are just as pretty to look at and by planting 1 in a glass container, it's possible to see what usually lies unseen, beneath the water's surface."
Moss and lichen terrariums	"Moss and lichen are 2 of the most remarkable, and yet unremarkable, organisms in the plant world. Lichens, of which there are nearly 2,000 species in the UK alone, grow on other plants (especially tree trunks and branches), wood, stone and more. This leads on to Rolling Hills - This terrarium is a great, low-maintenance way to introduce some greenery to a desk or table, and Stag Tree - Stag trees are those trees in the landscape, typically oaks, which have died and lost their smaller branches, leaving a few large branches that resemble a stag's antlers. Thei striking outlines can be in miniature, with the added benefit of beautiful lichen to observe in miniature."

Why not use an indoor hydrophonic kit to grow seeds of fruit, veg, chillies and herbs indoors?	From www.west-kent.com:- "Behind West Kent A warm welcome from me, Alastair Jessel, owner and chief grower. My story started in the second 'Lockdown' at Christmas 2020 when I was looking to sell something online. I discovered a number of companies selling indoor hydroponic kits but read all their 1-star reviews and felt that I could build a better machine. The bulk of the problems lay in the LED lights having their circuitry located inside the water tank which, over time, got damaged through ingress of water. Many complaints revolved around poor service - hardly surprising when all the companies are located overseas. Various other niggles were noted including avoiding expensive seed pods included with each kit, cover plates for empty pods and a water indicator. This rather long list was sent to a manufacturer to build a machine that resolved these problems. I had planned to sell it through Amazon but I was so shocked at the appalling treatment that I received from them so I changed tack and felt determined to compete against this behemoth by launching my own website. Fast forward to summer 2021 and the kits were built and finally arrived at my warehouse in Tunbridge Wells, west Kent. My aim is to provide you with an inexpensive kit that successfully grows any type of seeds, time after time, that allows you to grow in winter or summer, at up to 5 times the rate of a normal garden. Our new 15 pod machine has taken over a year to develop and is an astounding piece of kit that encourages ferocious growth in the plants through its 35W and 0.75m tall LED lights. This is a machine to thrash all competition on quality, price and growth and establish West Kent as a leader in the field of indoor hydroponics. Mr jessel holding one of his indoor hydroponic kits.
