  Do you have decorative brick work or natural stone that you need to clean but are afraid you could damage it? You should be weary, as it is very easy to damage if you do not clean it correctly. Improper use of cleaning chemicals can destroy it, discolor it, and ruin it. Using the wrong kind of brush can do the same thing. Cleaning it with a pressure washer could be your best bet, but if you use the wrong pressure tip, all bets are off on that too.

The biggest problem with using a pressure washers come from inappropriately choosing the wrong tip. For instance a "zero tip" will dig a horrible hole, which is just terrible unless you are attempting to drill a hole for an anchor iron to hang something. The zero tip could cut off someone's finger if it were used as a weapon. Another common tip to use is the 15 degree tip, most all pressure washers, even the little electric, Chinese built home units often have these.

And although these little units only have 800 to 1500 psi, with a zero tip, if you get too close to the natural stone you can very easily cause permanent damage. Thus, I recommend keeping the pressure wand 12 inches away at all times when cleaning natural brick and to choose a 25 degree tip or larger, I recommend a 45 degree tip just to play it safe.

The second problem with folks that clean natural brick is using the wrong chemicals that can permanently stain the brick, so it's best to use a semi-hard bristle brush, soap and water and a 45 degree pressure washing tip at the end of the gun or wand.

Does Weather Ruin Outdoor Canvas Art?
Have you seen outdoor canvas art at a restaurant patio or a friend's house, and realized that must be what your space is missing? You probably thought that a piece of outdoor art would add the focal point you have been looking for, but wondered how practical it would really be. Many people assume that this type of art has to be brought in every night, especially in the rain.

Rejuvenating Britain's Heritage Crops
Some jubilation is in order, for recent news has been dominated by stories of a general revival of Britain's agricultural heritage. In the 1970's, EU regulations concerning the stringency of seed testing, and also the unprecedented rise in commercial and individual popularity of foreign produce, meant that many of our traditional varieties were no longer grown and indeed thousands became extinct. However, a recent relaxation in the rules, the devotion of a few to Britain's ancient cultivars and, more so, a sudden surge of nostalgia for culturally specific species, has meant that many are seeing a welcome revival.

How To Take Up A Concrete Patio
Like all parts of the garden the patio can date and age with time. This can lead to parts becoming damaged, as well as it becoming a bit of an eyesore, and even on occasion, dangerous, with uneven surfaces and potential tripping hazards. However, removing a concrete patio is a lot easier done than you might perceive once you have the knowhow and correct tools at hand.
