by gardening expert Melinda Myers

Therersquos no doubt that managing critters in the landscape can be a challenge especially as food supplies start to dwindle If you are battling with rabbits deer groundhogs or other wildlife donrsquot let down your guard as the growing season begins to wind down

Be proactive Start before they get into the habit of dining on your landscape It is easier to keep them away than break the dining habit

Fence them out Fencing is the best de-fense against most wildlife A four feet tall fence around a small garden will keep out rabbits Secure the bottom tight to the ground or bury it several inches to prevent rabbits and voles from crawling underneath Or fold the bottom of the fence outward making sure itrsquos tight to the ground Animals

tend not to crawl under when the bottom skirt faces away from the garden

Go deeper at least 12 to 18 inches if you are trying to discourage woodchucks And make sure the gate is secure Many hungry animals have found their way into the garden through openings around and under the gate

A five foot fence around small garden areas can help safeguard your plantings against hungry deer Some gardeners report success surround-ing their garden with fishing line mounted on posts at one and three

foot heightsBreak out the repellents Homemade and

commercial repellents can be used Apply before the animals start feeding and reapply as directed Consider using a natural prod-

uct like Messinarsquos Animal Stopper (wwwMessinascom) It is made of herbs safe to use and smells goodScare lsquoem away Blow up owls clanging

pans rubber snakes slivers of deodorant soap handfuls of human hair and noise makers are scare tactics that have been used by gardeners for years Consider your environment when selecting a tactic Urban animals are used to the sound and smell of people Alternate scare tactics for more effective con-trol The animals wonrsquot be afraid of a snake that hasnrsquot moved in weeks

Combine tactics Use a mix of fenc-ing scare

The golden days of autumn are upon us signaling a new direction in home decor and entertaining What are your plans for updating your house These easy tips will bring the feeling of fall into your home without a lot of money or extra effort

ldquoFall marks a time for entertaining as friends and families come back togetherrdquo says Visual Mer-chandiser John Griffith ldquoThe brilliant bursts of reds oranges and yellows mark the last vestiges of color until spring and people are looking to grab onto those especially those who appreciate nature as a decorating toolrdquo

Griffith and his team create seasonal decorating vi-gnettes for the retail store at Replacements Ltd The company is known as the worldrsquos largest retailer of old and new china crystal silver and collectibles Griffithrsquos merchandising team has seen fall decorating become an increasingly popular trend Shoppers are re-questing recommendations for autumn decor as opposed to waiting for the traditional win-ter holidays to start seasonal decorating

Industry insiders say manufacturers are answering the trend in autumn decorating by offering more seasonal ornaments and dinnerware patterns especially for Hallow-een and Thanksgiving

ldquoPeople want a change but with higher gas

prices and the economic uncertainty theyrsquore worried about spending moneyrdquo Griffith says ldquoMany of us donrsquot realize we can give our homes a refreshing seasonal style with what we already own This starts with rethinking how you use your tableware Fall is a great time to forgo

form for function and use your dinnerware in creative ways that arenrsquot only pretty but a great conversation starter for fall entertainingrdquo

While most people think about using their dinnerware for its intended purpose find-ing new uses for those pieces opens up fun ideas to style your table For example Grif-fith suggests turning a balloon wine glass

upside down over your favorite fall foliage small gourds or seasonal ornaments and then plac-ing a votive on the inverted base This creates a pretty accent on the dinner table or anywhere in the homeLook out in your yard for pine cones nuts

seasonal berries or magnolia pods to arrange on silver serving trays compotes or various sized serving bowls You can even create unique cen-terpieces by mixing various natural elements and candles on single cake stands

Griffith suggests filling wine glasses with small seasonal-colored ornaments to use at each place setting or in various rooms around

your home to capture a

autumn entertaining made easy WitH FabuLous FaLL decor ideas

by gardening expert Melinda Myers

Therersquos no doubt that managing critters in the landscape can be a challenge especially as food supplies start to dwindle If you are battling with rabbits deer groundhogs or other wildlife donrsquot let down your guard as the growing season begins to wind down

Be proactive Start before they get into the habit of dining on your landscape It is easier to keep them away than break the dining habit

Fence them out Fencing is the best de-fense against most wildlife A four feet tall fence around a small garden will keep out rabbits Secure the bottom tight to the ground or bury it several inches to prevent rabbits and voles from crawling underneath Or fold the bottom of the fence outward making sure itrsquos tight to the ground Animals

tend not to crawl under when the bottom skirt faces away from the garden

Go deeper at least 12 to 18 inches if you are trying to discourage woodchucks And make sure the gate is secure Many hungry animals have found their way into the garden through openings around and under the gate

A five foot fence around small garden areas can help safeguard your plantings against hungry deer Some gardeners report success surround-ing their garden with fishing line mounted on posts at one and three

foot heightsBreak out the repellents Homemade and

commercial repellents can be used Apply before the animals start feeding and reapply as directed Consider using a natural prod-

uct like Messinarsquos Animal Stopper (wwwMessinascom) It is made of herbs safe to use and smells goodScare lsquoem away Blow up owls clanging

pans rubber snakes slivers of deodorant soap handfuls of human hair and noise makers are scare tactics that have been used by gardeners for years Consider your environment when selecting a tactic Urban animals are used to the sound and smell of people Alternate scare tactics for more effective con-trol The animals wonrsquot be afraid of a snake that hasnrsquot moved in weeks

Combine tactics Use a mix of fenc-ing scare

The golden days of autumn are upon us signaling a new direction in home decor and entertaining What are your plans for updating your house These easy tips will bring the feeling of fall into your home without a lot of money or extra effort

ldquoFall marks a time for entertaining as friends and families come back togetherrdquo says Visual Mer-chandiser John Griffith ldquoThe brilliant bursts of reds oranges and yellows mark the last vestiges of color until spring and people are looking to grab onto those especially those who appreciate nature as a decorating toolrdquo

Griffith and his team create seasonal decorating vi-gnettes for the retail store at Replacements Ltd The company is known as the worldrsquos largest retailer of old and new china crystal silver and collectibles Griffithrsquos merchandising team has seen fall decorating become an increasingly popular trend Shoppers are re-questing recommendations for autumn decor as opposed to waiting for the traditional win-ter holidays to start seasonal decorating

Industry insiders say manufacturers are answering the trend in autumn decorating by offering more seasonal ornaments and dinnerware patterns especially for Hallow-een and Thanksgiving

ldquoPeople want a change but with higher gas

prices and the economic uncertainty theyrsquore worried about spending moneyrdquo Griffith says ldquoMany of us donrsquot realize we can give our homes a refreshing seasonal style with what we already own This starts with rethinking how you use your tableware Fall is a great time to forgo

form for function and use your dinnerware in creative ways that arenrsquot only pretty but a great conversation starter for fall entertainingrdquo

While most people think about using their dinnerware for its intended purpose find-ing new uses for those pieces opens up fun ideas to style your table For example Grif-fith suggests turning a balloon wine glass

upside down over your favorite fall foliage small gourds or seasonal ornaments and then plac-ing a votive on the inverted base This creates a pretty accent on the dinner table or anywhere in the homeLook out in your yard for pine cones nuts

seasonal berries or magnolia pods to arrange on silver serving trays compotes or various sized serving bowls You can even create unique cen-terpieces by mixing various natural elements and candles on single cake stands

Griffith suggests filling wine glasses with small seasonal-colored ornaments to use at each place setting or in various rooms around

your home to capture a

autumn entertaining made easy WitH FabuLous FaLL decor ideas

The golden days of autumn are upon us signaling a new direction in home decor and entertaining What are your plans for updating your house These easy tips will bring the feeling of fall into your home without a lot of money or extra effort

ldquoFall marks a time for entertaining as friends and families come back togetherrdquo says Visual Mer-chandiser John Griffith ldquoThe brilliant bursts of reds oranges and yellows mark the last vestiges of color until spring and people are looking to grab onto those especially those who appreciate nature as a decorating toolrdquo

Griffith and his team create seasonal decorating vi-gnettes for the retail store at Replacements Ltd The company is known as the worldrsquos largest retailer of old and new china crystal silver and collectibles Griffithrsquos merchandising team has seen fall decorating become an increasingly popular trend Shoppers are re-questing recommendations for autumn decor as opposed to waiting for the traditional win-ter holidays to start seasonal decorating

Industry insiders say manufacturers are answering the trend in autumn decorating by offering more seasonal ornaments and dinnerware patterns especially for Hallow-een and Thanksgiving

ldquoPeople want a change but with higher gas

prices and the economic uncertainty theyrsquore worried about spending moneyrdquo Griffith says ldquoMany of us donrsquot realize we can give our homes a refreshing seasonal style with what we already own This starts with rethinking how you use your tableware Fall is a great time to forgo

form for function and use your dinnerware in creative ways that arenrsquot only pretty but a great conversation starter for fall entertainingrdquo

While most people think about using their dinnerware for its intended purpose find-ing new uses for those pieces opens up fun ideas to style your table For example Grif-fith suggests turning a balloon wine glass

upside down over your favorite fall foliage small gourds or seasonal ornaments and then plac-ing a votive on the inverted base This creates a pretty accent on the dinner table or anywhere in the homeLook out in your yard for pine cones nuts

seasonal berries or magnolia pods to arrange on silver serving trays compotes or various sized serving bowls You can even create unique cen-terpieces by mixing various natural elements and candles on single cake stands

Griffith suggests filling wine glasses with small seasonal-colored ornaments to use at each place setting or in various rooms around

The golden days of autumn are upon us signaling a new direction in home decor and entertaining What are your plans for updating your house These easy tips will bring the feeling of fall into your home without a lot of money or extra effort

ldquoFall marks a time for entertaining as friends and families come back togetherrdquo says Visual Mer-chandiser John Griffith ldquoThe brilliant bursts of reds oranges and yellows mark the last vestiges of color until spring and people are looking to grab onto those especially those who appreciate nature as a decorating toolrdquo

Griffith and his team create seasonal decorating vi-gnettes for the retail store at Replacements Ltd The company is known as the worldrsquos largest retailer of old and new china crystal silver and collectibles Griffithrsquos merchandising team has seen fall decorating become an increasingly popular trend Shoppers are re-questing recommendations for autumn decor as opposed to waiting for the traditional win-ter holidays to start seasonal decorating

Industry insiders say manufacturers are answering the trend in autumn decorating by offering more seasonal ornaments and dinnerware patterns especially for Hallow-een and Thanksgiving

ldquoPeople want a change but with higher gas

prices and the economic uncertainty theyrsquore worried about spending moneyrdquo Griffith says ldquoMany of us donrsquot realize we can give our homes a refreshing seasonal style with what we already own This starts with rethinking how you use your tableware Fall is a great time to forgo

form for function and use your dinnerware in creative ways that arenrsquot only pretty but a great conversation starter for fall entertainingrdquo

While most people think about using their dinnerware for its intended purpose find-ing new uses for those pieces opens up fun ideas to style your table For example Grif-fith suggests turning a balloon wine glass

upside down over your favorite fall foliage small gourds or seasonal ornaments and then plac-ing a votive on the inverted base This creates a pretty accent on the dinner table or anywhere in the homeLook out in your yard for pine cones nuts

seasonal berries or magnolia pods to arrange on silver serving trays compotes or various sized serving bowls You can even create unique cen-terpieces by mixing various natural elements and candles on single cake stands

Griffith suggests filling wine glasses with small seasonal-colored ornaments to use at each place setting or in various rooms around

your home to capture a

autumn entertaining made easy WitH FabuLous FaLL decor ideas
