Patio garden. We all love when our balcony or patio has some green plants on it. It makes the balcony look fresh and natural. You can buy some easy to grow garden flowers in pots or containers or you can grow your own organic vegetables! Yes, you can not make salads everyday just by picking vegs from your patio but first of all it just looks nice and different from roses and and secondly you can enjoy fresh organic vegetables for your breakfast.

Growing plans on small areas

There is no need in large garden or yard to do gardening. Actually it is easy to leave some free space for vegetables on your balcony or patio. All you need is to plan your future garden well. I have already grown parsley, fresh onion and dill in the past, and i can say that it is one of the best herbs to start with. Every your salad will smell wonderful with dill and parsley from your own small garden.

Advantages of patio garden. As comparing to growing vegetables in the ground growing in the pots and containers gives opportunity to move vegs from one part of the patio to another. Too much or too little sun? Just make some movements!  You can add more holes for good draining. It is easy to control vegetables from pests cause you can take away ill plant and pest will not spread all over the plants by ground. It is easier to water plants and easier to give nutrient rich soil. Actually if you are gardening for the first time and do not know if you really need it and can do it, it is a good idea to start with a small garden in pots.

How to make a patio garden?

Buy seeds of the most popular and easy to grow vegetables. They are tomatoes ( cherry type possible ), cucumbers, pepper and beans.

When buying seeds check sizes of already grown vegetables. You need containers that will be big enough for grown plants. Tomatoes need the largest containers but you can grow cherry tomato as an alternative to big ones. Small pots will be enough for growing peppers. Try to keep peppers away from other plants, the reason is that they are attacked by pests more that the other vegetables.

Tomatoes, bean and cucumbers need trellises, poles and cages. You can buy containers ready for these types of vegetables. You can put containers with these vegetables to one side of patio so it will look like a natural green fence.

Do not forget about fertilizer and regular watering. It is not like growing flowers and fruit trees. Vegetable taste depend how good you water it. Be careful with growing hot pepper, do not put it on the floor if you have small children who can find it and eat it. It is better to make some shelves or put it on some furniture units for safety.

Welcome to desain rumah minimalis blog ? First Post we want to talk about air conditioner in house. Air conditioning systems for house. There are a lot of types of air conditions that can be used at home. But in this article I will tell you only about split systems or in other words, wall air conditioners. This type of air conditioners are ideal for home cause they do not need much space and can be installed on one of the house walls and easy for maintenance and use.


Split air conditions

Have two units the one, which on the wall in the house and the other one is outside of the house. It may be a problem to find a place for outside part but you can easily install it to the wall.

Advantages of wall air conditions:

Small sizes. Even the strongest air conditions are just a bit bigger than the other ones. You can use it in all the rooms, including child rooms and rooms for babies. All you need is to choose the power of air condition. This is its second advantage. For small rooms you buy small ones and for big rooms you buy the most powerful ones. Another advantage is heating option. When you have air condition, you do not care about how to cool and to heat in all the seasons. If you want to heat or to cool all the rooms you just need to install central air conditioning.

Disadvantages of split air conditions:

Air circulation. Most people do all the same mistake. They install air condition in the middle of the wall, i mean middle towards the room, not to ceiling. Yes, in this way your air condition will cool the area faster and better. But on the other hand you will always feel air circulation and what is more in the hottest days it can make you seek. Especially it is harmful for small babies. If you have a baby or you and your family members are sensitive to air condition there is no need to refuse from nice cool air in the house in the hottest days. All you need is to install air condition close to one of the rooms corners and put your sofa or bed to some other side that is is not touched by air circulation.

The most popular air condition all over the world manufacturer is Mitsubishi. Bad side is that it has much more expensive price  as compare to other models. But believe me, it is the best. If you can afford it yourself, do it. If not, check other cheap models but do read customers reviews first. Cause not all the air conditions are the best. For example, we had an air condition that was too loud. We could not use it at night both it was disturbing us and our neighbours!

Installing air conditions. It is really easy to install air- condition, that is why calling the service is also not expensive at all. You can do it yourself or you can call the service and just give some money for installation. Anyway you have to meet your manufacturers service, cause if something happens later, like if it does not cool or heat well, may be you will need to call for professionals. Even the best air condition models need every year cleaning and maintenance. If you do not clean filters at least once a year it can be harmful for your health.

Portable air conditioning units. Those who rent a house, may think that portable air condition is the best solution for them. I speak about portable air conditions that do not have units to be install outside of the house. Do know that they work like a fan. Think, if you really need it, cause it is still different from a split air condition.
