Having made the decision to pursue a career as a sonography tech, the next step is to select a program for the education and training you will need. If looking for a program in the region of the Great Lakes, there are excellent sonography tech schools in Michigan. To make the final selection as to which is the best school, there are criteria to consider.
Accreditation is an assurance that the program or school meets the nationally recognized standards of quality and attending an accredited program is a prerequisite for future registration as a sonographers. When looking at the accreditation of sonography tech programs in Michigan, it is essential to know that there are two types of accreditation. There is accreditation of the program, or programmatic accreditation, and there is accreditation of the school, referred to as institutional accreditation.
The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) is a programmatic accrediting agency for educational programs in 23 health science professions, one of which is the program for sonography tech, also referred to as the diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) program. Attending an accredited program will ensure adequate preparation for entering the diagnostic sonographer profession. There are over ten ultrasound tech schools in michigan accredited by the CAAHEP.
Another factor to consider when researching sonography tech programs michigan is specialization. While there is a general sonography degree, there are also areas of specialization in the field of sonography such as obstetrical, gynecologic, vascular, and cardiac ultrasonography. If the desire to specialize is present at the outset, look for a program that offers that concentration. If the desire is to begin in the general sonography studies, yet maintain openness to specialization, consider a university that offers the opportunity to transfer from the general program to a specialized ultrasonography program.
Ultrasound technician programs offer a selection of degrees from a certificate to a baccalaureate, depending upon the length of the program. Program length varies from one year for a program certificate, two years for an associate degree, and four years for the baccalaureate degree. All of these programs will provide the required education for becoming a registered ultrasound technician, however, due to the rapid advancement in ultrasound practice, serious consideration must be given to attending a university that offers the baccalaureate degree in diagnostic ultrasonography.
Possessing the baccalaureate degree will command a larger salary and offer future career opportunities in leadership and management. However, if time and finances preclude commitment to four years of education, consider attending an accredited certification program with plans to continue future education as time and finances allow.
Working as a valued member of a health care team and providing the skills to competently operate high-tech ultrasonography equipment to assist physicians in making the correct medical diagnosis makes a career as an ultrasound technician a rewarding one. Commitment to continual learning to stay abreast of this rapidly growing health care profession and to maintain expertise in the operation of modern ultrasonography machines begins with thorough research into the ultrasound technician programs in Michigan.

Home Opinion Letters to the Editor School board may be making same costly mistakes again
School board may be making same costly mistakes again
Recently the Mayor of Tyrone shared his state of the city address. A key part of this was the re-opening of Tyrone Elementary in the fall of 2021. This reason given for the re-opening is growth in school population in the Everton subdivisions within Peachtree City, to quote baseball great Yogi Berra, "It deja vu all over again."
In the recent past, our schools were confronted by this problem. Almost twenty years ago, my neighborhood, Centennial, began construction. The builder set aside ground for "Centennial Elementary."
There was great concern that this subdivision was going to swamp the school system. The school board decided to not build Centennial Elementary. There were multiple buses going to Peachtree City Elementary at one point, but the surge has passed with no additional building and instead a growing list of names on our graduation banners.
In 2007, we were by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) told that growth was coming and our school board built Rivers Elementary. This school never opened and instead was sold for a loss; today it is the Pinewood Production Centre.
Even though the recession had hurt our economy, a reasonable person could doubt the ARC estimates of 35,000 students in our system. Today we average around 20,000 a year.
Given our previous experience reacting to growth, I believe that before we begin to consider spending $4-5 million on rehabilitating Tyrone Elementary and then spending $700,000 annually of classroom eligible budget on the fixed costs of administration, kitchen, custodial, and other fixed costs necessary to run a school before we pay for any teachers, we need to consider alternatives.
We have better options. FCBOE can direct portions of the Everton neighborhoods to the three close-by elementary schools (Peachtree City, Kedron, and Crabapple). We can choose to add on to any of these three schools.
We have recently added classrooms to Peachtree City Elementary raising capacity by 100 without adding the annual cost of support personnel. We can grow smartly without growing our budget.
The subject of funding the reopening Tyrone came up in the ESPLOST citizens committee meetings that determined the list of proposed projects for our recently passed ESPLOST. The committee rejected this project by a wide margin.
This is yet another example where the feedback of citizens seems to be less important than the agenda of the few.
To be clear, the FCBOE has the legal authority to do this without citizen approval even though several members say this is not approved … yet. However, it is curious the mayor would so boldly announce it with a projected start date.
I fear that we are making decisions while we are flush with cash that will not stand the test of more austere times that may soon be here due to the current Covid 19 crisis.

Gay Sex is No Longer a Crime in Singapore
Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong declared on Sunday that the country has finally repealed Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalized gay sex in the country.
in Women Today
Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong declared on Sunday that the country has finally repealed Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalized gay sex in the country. However, same-sex marriage will continue to remain illegal in the eyes of the country's law. There are no statistics available as to how many people identify as bisexual, lesbian, transgender, and curious in the country, though the estimate is put somewhere between 3 to 5%. Singapore is the newest Asian country to move in this direction after India, Taiwan, and Thailand recognized LGBTQ rights and decriminalized homosexual relationships.
In his annual policy address, Mr. Loong said, "I believe (repeal) is the right thing to do, and something that most Singaporeans will now accept. This will bring the law into line with current social mores, and I hope, provide some relief to gay Singaporeans."
"Like every human society, we also have gay people in our midst. They are our fellow Singaporeans. They are our colleagues, our friends, and our family members. They too want to live their own lives, participate in our community, and contribute fully to Singapore," the country's prime minister added.
However, as what it appears was insisted by the conservative groups in the country, the prime minister indicated that the country would not change the legal definition of marriage, which stands recognized between a man and a woman only.
Taking to Twitter, Mr. Loong said, "We will protect the definition of marriage, as contained in the Interpretation Act and the Women's Charter, from being challenged constitutionally in the courts. We have to amend the constitution to protect it, and we will do so."
A statement drafted by more than 20 LGBTQ communities in Singapore welcomed the move and said that it was "long overdue." They hailed the move as a significant milestone and a powerful statement that sent the message that state-sanctioned discrimination cannot be tolerated in Singapore.
The communities urged the government not to heed religious conservatives who may influence the government to enshrine the definition of marriage into the constitution, which would be very disappointing.
The statement came to light after a conservative group, Protect Singapore, expressed disappointment over the repeal and said the move was pulled without "comprehensive safeguards" to the country's traditions and the idea of family. The group called for the enshrinement of the definition of heterosexual marriage into the constitution and banning the promotion of LGBTQ (in all definitions and scenarios) to children
Under 377A, all sorts of content that was deemed to promote homosexuality were banned from broadcast in Singapore, and TV shows and movies were often censored. However, it appears that much may not change on this front as Singapore is still deeply traditional, and society values the conservative ideas of family.
Singapore inherited Section 377A of the Penal Code from the British after its independence in 1965. The law punishes same-sex adults with up to two years of imprisonment. The law states: "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animals, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to fine."
By "carnal intercourse against the order of nature," the law means that intercourse that does not have the potential for procreation. Therefore, whether private or consensual, it criminalized both heterosexual and homosexual oral and anal sex. In this regard, the law did not solely discriminate against men. By definition, sex between women, which involved penetration of any sort, whether by a finger, a tongue, or a sex toy into the vagina or anus, was a criminal offense under this law.
While the move may set a larger change into motion that would see the recognition of LGBTQ rights in Singapore, the country still remains largely conservative. Large corporations have time and again voiced their concern regarding the effects of Section 377A, stating that it has prevented them from attracting talent. However, with both conservatives and LGBTQ rights activists at odds and the government trying to appease both sides, it remains to be seen whether any substantial relief would come any time soon to the distressed LGBTQ community in Singapore. No doubt, the current move appears to be cosmetic and a poor attempt to protect the country's image as a developing and progressive nation

Carol Roth, author of "The Entrepreneur Equation"
Carol Roth is a truth teller. I figured that out the first time I met her in Chicago, before a recent SOBCon. She has never shied away from hard facts and uncomfortable realities, especially when it comes to the business world.
She has faced many of these realities herself, during her career as an investment banker, deal maker, and business strategist. By her own admission, she's always had this "Lucy Van Pelt" (the character in the Peanuts comic strip) thing going on, putting up her own version of the "Doctor is In" sign, telling it like it is to all who frequently ask her for advice.
I have been one of those people myself, because I'm about to make the big jump into my own business (with a partner, Liz Strauss), and Carol knows a thing or two about that.
There is SO much to think about when starting a business, and I needed a few doses of reality as I slogged forward. Carol has been extremely helpful, and now I feel a lot better about what I'm doing, and, on top of that, I have a great new friend, because she also happens to be a good and caring person to boot.
So it was with great interest that I recently read her latest book, "The Entrepreneur Equation". The book is a wonderful distillation of all that advice she has given over the years, well sequenced and organized. It really is essential reading for any would-be entrepreneur, because it really "lays it all out there" – all the hurdles and "screens" that one has to jump and pass through to conceive, plan, fund, staff, model, manage and execute (just to name a few) a new business.
The crux: Just because you think you CAN be an entrepreneur, that doesn't mean you SHOULD be one, until you answer all the right questions.
Are you going to create a "salable" business, rather than a "jobbie" (a hobby disguised as a business) or a "Job-Business" (a one person business that isn't scalable)? There's a great chart in the book that breaks this down perfectly.
How are you with your personal finances? Because if you can't manage your own finances, then "you shouldn't be an entrepreneur trying to manage a business (and implicitly, the business's finances)". That one really made me think (as I stared at my unbalanced checkbook).
Are you willing to put in a LOT of hard work and practice? The "Secret" of success is not just a great idea, a positive attitude, and venture funding. A lot of us are so impatient when it comes to this – we want instant success. But it's rarely so.
Are you a "Santa or an Elf"? That is, are you better at giving direction, or taking direction? If you are the latter, it will be very, very hard to run a business on your own.
Are you "too smart for your own good"? That is, you can't give up control over anything because "nobody can do it better than you"? Carol has quite an interesting take on this one. And boy, it made me look in the mirror (thanks Carol).
I highly recommend this book to anyone even remotely thinking about starting their own business – it's a great reality check that covers all the bases.
She has some great bonus offers to readers who buy the book this week, so check it out.
AND, for every book purchased this week, Carol will be donating one book to SCORE, the national business non-profit, as a way to help as many entrepreneurs as possible to succeed.
Thanks for this post. I will be checking out the Carol's book. I'm always contemplating businesses to start and searching for the right one.


One of the first things you will notice about US Water Systems Commercial Reverse Osmosis Membrane selection is that we only offer one membrane per membrane size, while other companies may offer a half dozen or more. Why the difference? We think once you understand the difference, you will choose US Water Systems to be your membrane supplier. Most commercial reverse osmosis membranes operate at 150 to 250 psi. At US Water Systems our Energy Mizer Membranes operate at 80 psi. That's a huge difference! Here's what you need to know.
SAME PRODUCTION – At 80 psi, our membranes produce the same amount of water (or more) than theirs do at 200-250 psi. There is no drop in production.
LESS ENERGY – By operating at 80 psi, you can expect to save 40% or more on your energy bill.
LONGER SYSTEM LIFE – Imagine of the top number of your blood pressure was 200 verses 80. The same is true with reverse osmosis systems. If a system operates at 200 psi, there is a lot of stress put on membranes, motors, pumps, fittings, tubing and controls. Operating at 80 psi is like reversing the effects of high blood pressure. The system works better and lasts longer.
Our US Water membranes utilize innovative and proprietary Energy Mizer Technology™ for increased production. With operating pressures as low as 80 psi, HF5 membranes provide maximum efficiency savings when compared to other membranes. Our membranes are available in all standard 2.5-inch and 4-inch commercial sizes and feature a protective tape-wound exterior. Energy Mizer Membranes are the best choice to counter the negative effects of cold temperatures on reverse osmosis production. All elements are shipped dry for an indefinite shelf life and easier handling. If you are not sure which membrane is right for you, talk to one of our Certified Water Specialists at 800-608-8792 or e-mails us today.

Dodgers' Podsednik Declines Option, Becomes Free Agent
By Eric Stephen@ericstephen Nov 4, 2010, 11:21am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Dodgers' Podsednik Declines Option, Becomes Free Agent
Scott Podsednik today declined the $2 million option for 2011, opting instead to become a free agent. On Tuesday, the Dodgers exercised their half of the mutual option, which gave the outfielder 48 hours to decide whether or not to return to the team at their price.
Last winter, Podsednik signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract, which included the $2 million club option for 2011 or a $100,000 buyout. The option became a mutual option once Podsednik reached 525 plate appearances on the season, which he reached on August 18.
Podsednik was acquired by the Dodgers from the Royals on July 28, for minor leaguers Lucasy May and Elisaul Pimentel. Manny Ramirez at the time was on the disabled list for the third time, and the Dodgers were in need of a starting outfielder. Podsednik struggled, however, with the Dodgers, hitting .262/.313/.336 in 39 games as a Dodger. He also had his season cut short by plantar fasciitis, as he didn't play in a game after September 9.
The Dodgers have eight free agents: Rod Barajas (Type B), Hiroki Kuroda, Vicente Padilla, Jay Gibbons, Reed Johnson, Brad Ausmus, Jeff Weaver, and Podsednik (Type B). The Dodgers' 40-man roster now has 32 players.
For more information, be sure to read the SB Nation blog True Blue LA.

The collection was found in North Dakota and contains such a mix of "fish, mammals, insects and a dinosaur" that were found together which otherwise defies explanation (I'm certain that creationists will attempt to use that as "proof" of Noah's Flood while just ignoring the other problems their explanation creates). There was also evidence of (then) hot glass found in the gill areas of the fish which indicates that they were alive when they attempted to breathe the water as debris from the aftermath of the meteor impact rained down from above.
turn off those damn lights!
It really is a shame Biosphere 2 wasn't designed by actual engineers and scientists. It really could have been an amazing experiment had it been done right. I kind of wish they would build another one, this time for real.

Major depression, obesity and chronic pain are all linked to the effects of one protein, called "FK506-binding protein 51," or FKBP51. Until now, efforts to inhibit this target have been hampered by the difficulty of finding something specific enough to do the job and not affect similar proteins. Now a research group has developed a highly selective compound that can effectively block FKBP51 in mice, relieving chronic pain and having positive effects on diet-induced obesity and mood. The new compound also could have applications in alcoholism and brain cancer.
always wondered how the mice said they weren't having pain anymore.
Ever had pets? they don't tell you when something hurts, but you may notice a change in their behaviour.
If an animal is eating as it normally does, and doing the usual activities, it should be fine, and not in pain.
In the case of lab mice, I think they more objective criteria like heart rate, breathing rate, blood levels of certain hormones/cortisol/etc., and so on.

ANZ today announced the official opening of its representative office in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, having received its final approvals.
ANZ CEO Asia Pacific Gilles Planté said: "Our new Myanmar representative office further strengthens ANZ's ability to connect customers across our super regional network. ANZ is now clearly the best connected bank for customers across the Greater Mekong.
"ANZ's representative office in Myanmar is the first point of contact for customers interested in doing business in Myanmar, and for businesses in Myanmar looking for opportunities in the 33 markets where ANZ operates across Asia-Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, America and the Middle East," Mr Planté added.
Rajesh Ahuja, ANZ's Group Representative in Myanmar, will leverage ANZ's global capabilities to ensure we make a positive contribution to the economic modernisation and development of Myanmar's nascent financial markets.
Last December, ANZ became the first Australian bank, and the first OECD bank outside of Japan, to receive approval to establish a presence in Myanmar after the lifting of international sanctions in 2012. ANZ continues to be committed to complying with all requirements related to ongoing sanctions.

The Bass Lake Road bridge is scheduled to close May 11 so that the state Department of Transportation can replace the badly-deteriorating structure. Traffic will be unable to cross for about six months.
Through traffic will be detoured along Holly Springs Road and Sunset Lake Road throughout the project. N.C. 55 can be an alternate detour for some motorists. However, Bass Lake Road will remain open to local traffic on either side of the bridge.
Drivers still will be able to turn into Bass Lake Park and onto streets such as Salem Ridge Road from the Holly Springs side of the bridge. However, Bass Lake Road as a connection to Fuquay-Varina will be lost temporarily.
The Bass Lake Road bridge has a sufficiency rating of 6 out of a possible 100 for a new structure, the state says. Replacement has been planned for years.

Are Your Halloween Decorations Safe?
Decorating your home for Halloween is a great way to get your kids excited for the holiday. However, some Halloween decorations pose a very real threat to the safety of your children and your home. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends taking several steps to reduce the risk of accidents caused by hazardous or defective Halloween decorations.
Try to use battery-operated candles instead of candles with real flames. Costumes that droop, drag, or sag can get caught in the flames. If you do use real candles, keep them away from walkways, porches, steps, and landings. This will reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries.
Do not overload outlets or power strips with plugs. Purchase additional power strips if you have a lot of plug-in decorations.
Avoid putting decorations where trick-or-treaters may be walking. These decorations could act as obstacles and cause people to trip and fall.
Never leave a burning candle unattended as it takes only seconds for a flame to ignite a curtain, costume, or other flammable material.
Check all light sets for loose connections, frayed wires, broken sockets, and other product defects. Do this with both new and old light sets, as new sets can have defects due to the way they were manufactured or handled during shipping.
Always examine decorations and novelty items before giving them to children.
Taking these simple steps can help prevent Halloween accidents at your home. Unfortunately, your child is at risk of injury if he or she trick-or-treats at homes where the owners do not take these precautions. If your child suffers an injury due to someone else's negligence, the Maryland personal injury attorneys at Alpert Schreyer can help you seek justice.

Now the FIVB wants a piece of the Winter Olympics, and it sees snow volleyball as the way in. With a European tour already established, volleyball officials have set out an agenda that would bring the new snow sport to Asia, Argentina and the United States with an eye toward approval as a demonstration sport at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.
The continental circuit, which kicks off this weekend in the Czech ski resort of Spindleruv Mlyn, was officially sanctioned by volleyball's European governing body for the first time last winter. Azevedo said the goal is to have a world tour next year and a fully-fledged world championship in 2019. A spot in the 2020 Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne — where the FIVB has its headquarters — is also on the federation's radar.
From there, snow volleyball could apply for status as a demonstration sport at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Azevedo hopes to have at least an informal display at the Winter Games next year in Pyeongchang, South Korea, even if it's just stringing up a net in a plaza somewhere.
The atmosphere also resembles beach volleyball, with disc jockeys cranking out music and cheerleaders — in lederhosen instead of bikinis — pumping up the crowd .
"Music, it's inside our DNA, man," Azevedo said.
Mostly, because the snow is slicker than sand there is more of a premium on players who can read and react quickly than on tall ones who can block. It's also easier to jump on the compacted snow, so shorter players can be more effective blockers and height is less of an advantage.
And let's not forget the cold.
"It is a mountain, so you should be ready for weather changes and be prepared for all kinds of weather," Kufa said.
So far, the tournaments have been scheduled at resorts — with free admission — as something for the skiers to watch when they need a break. For the players at an event in Iran earlier this month, it was a quick diversion from the Kish Island beach event scheduled the following week.
That's one big advantage snow volleyball has over other sports trying to join the Olympic program: It already has a strong federation and a ready pool of potential players from the beach game, including 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Martins Plavins of Latvia and the top beach players from several European countries.
Dalhausser said anything that gets people to watch and play any form of volleyball is good for the sport. And once fans see snow volleyball, Azevedo said, they will be hooked — just like those who have come to follow the beach version every four years at the Summer Olympics.

If you have a broken tooth, then your dentist may suggest the placement of a dental crown to repair it. This is best to restore the function, appearance, and shape of the tooth. The dental professional will shape your tooth and then create a mold. It will be sent to a laboratory where a more durable wax mold is created, and the crown is then fabricated. Most crowns are made to fit perfectly on the teeth, but some complications can still arise with the devices. Your dentist will often not be able to anticipate these difficulties, and this means that you need to visit the professional as soon as a problem arises. Listed below are a few complications that you should look out for.
Dentists will usually place temporary crowns on the teeth to protect a dental break while a permanent crown is constructed. This crown must be released from the tooth before the new crown is adhered. To reduce your discomfort during the procedure, the professional will use lidocaine to numb the tooth. As the permanent crown is placed in your mouth, the dentist will ask you to bite down and indicate if the crown scrapes against the tooth above or below. Carbon paper will also be used to show high areas across the crown that may cause a problem.
Sometimes, the crown may be adhered a little too high, because your numb mouth will not be able to feel the bite properly. This can lead to increased pressure on the tooth and the disruption of the delicate and natural tooth material underneath the crown. When this happens, pulp can become injured and tissues may start to deteriorate. Dead tissues cause internal tooth infections and a root canal may be necessary.
How is the Issue Fixed?
If your dental crown hits hard against the other teeth when you bite, then you should make an appointment as soon as possible with your dentist. The professional can easily fix the issue by grinding a small amount of porcelain away from the crown biting edge.
A drill with a tungsten carbide bit will be used to remove a fraction of a millimeter of porcelain at one time until the bite is more comfortable. Lidocaine is not required during the process, and this will help to ensure better bite input from you during the drilling process.
Crowns are created to cover the entire exposed area of your broken or damaged tooth so that natural enamel and dentin can be properly protected. This helps to reduce cavity and erosion concerns in the future that may lead to crown replacement, root canal procedures, and dental extractions.
Unfortunately, if you form gingivitis around the crown tooth, then gum recession is likely to occur and a small amount of the dental root will become exposed. Damaged teeth are often extremely sensitive due to trauma, and the tooth root will emit strong sensations when you eat hot and cold foods.
Fortunately, your dentist will not need to remove your dental crown to fix sensitivity issues. The exposed area of the tooth will be treated instead. Generally, your dentist will apply a desensitizer to the tooth root to block the small openings within the dentin that cause pain sensations to be sent to the brain. Fluoride treatments may also be suggested to naturally strengthen the exposed tooth material to reduce sensitivity.
If a large portion of the tooth root becomes exposed underneath your dental crown, then your dental professional may want to complete a gum graft procedure at some point. This will help to thicken and lengthen the gums around the crown so the dental root is no longer exposed.
Broken teeth often require the placement of dental crowns, and your dentist will work with you to make sure the device is properly fitted on your tooth. Issues can sometimes occur after crown adhesion though, so meet with your dental professional as soon as possible if you notice bite or sensitivity problems. If you are experiencing trouble with your dental crown, but your regular dentist is no longer practicing, then check out a dental clinic like Maplewood Dental Associates, PA.

Around this time of year leaves start to fall. First those despatched by trees and shrubs desperate for water, and in just a few short weeks by the majority of the nations trees.
For many gardeners this presents a dilemma. To start collecting leaves "as they fall", or to wait until they are all down and do it in one go.
Consider then what a carpet of leaves actually does to your lawn. Leaves bind together when wet, especially the larger varieties, making an impenetrable mat that blocks light and air from the grass. That is the two primary sources of life removed. This may cause patches, weakened areas or even kill it off.
But grass is tough stuff, it will be back in the spring, right? Maybe, but not for sure. It can take months for grass areas to heal themselves, leaving lawns unsightly and even unusable.
And it's easy to do something about it.
Fallen leaves are a usable commodity in your garden. Collecting leaves to be part of the regular compost pile, or kept in separate leave bins to create leafmould, will contribute a rich structure and mulching substance for your flower beds over the winter.
Or if you are fortunate enough to have a mulching mower, it will chop it all up and return it to the grass, thereby giving a huge boost to the fertility of the lawn. Otherwise your mower will be able to shred and collect most of the leaves for you to deposit in compost or leafmould bins.
Collecting with a mower or vacuum is easier than raking them up. Leaves that are whole, i.e., not chopped will take a lot longer to break down than the shredded ones.
As leaves start to fall collect them regularly, twice a week if possible.
As frosts start add them to the flower beds and around trees for the worms to incorporate into the soil.
So far we have not mentioned the other advantages of removing leaves. They are untidy, they blow into the house when its windy, they stick to the dog and cat, they are very slippery on hard surfaces. Trodden in leaves can make a real mess of your carpets too.
So put them to use! Collect them and return their energy to your garden.
You can be more relaxed about leaving a well established garden while you go on holiday than one recently established. Or one that has a lot of pots or baskets.
So what can you do to keep your garden living while you go away?
A well-established garden- over three years old – should be able to hold its own. Even in a mid- to high twenties summer week. It may even deal with two weeks. If plants have not established for at least two years they will likely feel the strain of an extended period sans water.
In theory the easy solution is to get someone in- a relative or neighbour – to take care of it for you. But what if you are a very particular gardener, and your friends don't share the same passion – and ultimately care – that you do?
Then you need your local garden service to come it for you. As long as they are not just grass or hedge cutters and have some horticultural experience, they will know how to provide holiday garden care.
An agreement between near neighbours could work well. I am very lucky, in that I have friends that are interested and knowledgeable gardeners. I can trust them.
But I still want to make it relatively simple for them too. You can't expect someone to spend the same time that you would walking around the plot with a watering can.
I group my vulnerable pots and baskets together, so that there are fewer places to go with hose or can. Grouping pots closer together also maintains a more humid atmosphere for longer.
It's also much easier to give the pots the required soaking when they are closer together. Remember that it's better to give one or two good soakings a week than a little every day.
I hang baskets in towers of two or three, so the water from the top one cascades down to the next ones, saving time and water.
But perhaps with the exception of certain key beds or plantings, it's not reasonable to have someone chasing around all of your garden unless you're prepared to pay for holiday garden care. But they do need to have an idea of how much water to use.
From the ground up can take care of your garden while you away. The service is available in the Bourne End – Marlow – Wooburn Green areas.
A dry week or two will show you where plants are vulnerable. Therefore you'll know where to direct your attention as far as improving the water retention in the soil. You can do this by mulching, or even re-digging the bed with more compost.
Some plants that are suffering in the heat may just be slow to stablish. I have two Astrantias that have taken ages to get going in a west facing bed.
Even plants that thrive in well drained or dry conditions like Sedum can suffer.
The two beds that I had dug last October – in the hope of winter frosts breaking down the clay – have many distressed plants.
Tender perennials like Dahlias seem to be OK. And the Lillies and Cannas. But Penstemons planted in spring have suffered, along with Achillea and Buxus.
But the bed planted with a Mediterranean or drought resistant theme has managed well in its first year.
A large top dressing of compost will be applied to these beds this weekend. I will slowly be returning pots and baskets to their places.
Consider getting a contingency to the hosepipe too. An extended dry period may result in a hosepipe ban.
Fixed installed irrigation is exempt. Drip and micro irrigation systems, and leaky pipes laid throughout the beds can still be used. You can also have these automated, so they will take care of the garden when you are away.
But back it up with rainwater collection systems such as water butts. I say "butts", as one will not last long if there is no rain for a few weeks.
Storing more water will make keeping your garden alive more cost effective.
