‘Pandocaplog for Everyone Part 2018

, 3 By SANDRA FRASER

: # Last week we talked brief- iy About the scope of landscap- ing and what it means on various levels. I would like to stress again that like most businesses, landscaping has its Bood operators and its not so } Make sure you ask for qualifications, and remember that affiliation with the B.C, Nursery Trades Association, or tie newly formed Kootenay 4 ndscape and Nursery Assoc- jation is a positive indicator of gualty work,

Once you have called in a Eandscaper, or decided to con- Sult a qualified nursery person, 2 is important to make sure you ®nderstand one another. Land- qeaping has its own phras- qology, and of course Latin

lant names, that may not be

miliar to you. + If you are not sure you understand something, make dure you stop and ask. This will §reatly help to avoid confusion Tater on. When you are speak- hg of specific plants, make sure Goth you and ‘the landscaper Know exactly what is meant. If there is any confusion, a good landscaper should be able to show you a picture of the plant.

When deciding where to locate plants, especially basic trees, make sure of the obvious things like not blocking a view or undermining a wall. The landscaper can help you with

less obvious things, like spacing of trees, and combining shapes and colors harmoniously. The size and extent of tree root syatems must be considered as well, so be sure that you givo the aclear pict: f

Once you have reached an understanding about the work to be done, the final drawing and work contract are ready to be done. What you are looking for is a clear drawing that tells tly what and where the

existing water pipes, septic tanks, storm drains and so on,

The landscaper can also be of help in selecting plants that will enhance the basic features of your home. Brick or rock work, a well-placed boulder, or a pleasing contour of roof line can all be brought out by skillful placement of appropri- ate material. The opposite effect can also be achieved. An unattractive wall can be cover- ed with an evergreen wine or spreading shrub. The stump of a tree can become a trellis for a flowering vine, or serve as a stand for annual flower boxes.

For bird fanciers, unwant- ed trees can be cut to a height appropriate for bird baths or feeders, Rock outcrops so com- mon in the Kootenays, can often be planted with shrubs and heathers to give the appearance, but not the main- tenance problem, of a rock garden. iH

Another piece of informa- tion important to a landscaper is the amount of time in hours you will have to work in your! yard. No garden is maintenance free, but the time you have can be spent in such a way as.to keep the garden tidy without making you late for your golf game,

By Rev. TED BRISTOW United Church

A good friend of mine dropped around and told me about his, first. visit to the Caribbean,

He was impressed with the surroundings: large bushes red with poinsettias, constant tem- peratures in the high 70s and low 80s (Fahrenheit of course), high mountains and endless sea in the same glance.

He was not so pleasantly impressed with some of the people. He was robbed soveral times, until he learned to lock

‘ everything up tight and take

with him what he could absolu- lutely not afford to have stolen. He was constantly asked for h i who

vary from one to another, but make sure that all work to be done is stated clearly. Be aware that rock or woodwork will be an extra cost in materials and labor, so make sure that dimensions and mat- erials to be used are what you want.

It is wise to ask for a breakdown of costs if one is not provided. Amounts spent on plants, soil, and labor should be clearly stated. The number of days the work will take should be known to you if not stated in the contract.

The length of guarantee on plants and work should be stated. If you feel, during the guarantee period that anything is amiss, your first step is to contact the landscaper as soon

- as possible. Problems detected

early are easier to identify and tosolve. Usually, an agreement ean be reached between you and the landscaper. If this is not the case, the only existing recourse is through the Better Business Bureau, which serves

Apriest In Stanford wrote, ‘'We must assume God has a mission for my singta green sock.’” .

These are only a few of the thousands of replies recelved by this column from readers all over the country who. offered @n answer as to why socks disappear In the washer.

- Some observations are significant,’

Disappearing socks make no distinction in sex, class, religion, politics, geographic location, ‘smokers-va.-non- smokers. (There were more reported theories from Min- Neapolls than anywhere else, but it's been a long winter which can cause sitting around staring at your washer and

other strangeness.)

Age was not a factor. The youngest theorlst was 8-1/2-

years old and the oldest was 8:

scientifically, ‘‘You lose socks because you’re a woman!’’) All of the writers had one thing In common. Their socks had entered the Wash and Spin Bermuda Triangle and they

had been lost. No one was ami

used

- Another elgnificant factor of the letters was that the disappearance of socks was generally described In mystical terms — as a phenomenon that defied reason or explanation. (‘They're In constant contact with great cosmic forces who demand a sock be sacrificed like ‘a maiden.'’) Another Popular theory was that another planet was dropping weird pairs of socks to spy on us and the missing one was returning with the information. Sallors wrote saying the problem was universal and was quite prevalent In Japan.

Posts wrote by the hundreds and ranged from: simple. hysteria — “I! have arrived. at this conclusion/They’re forming an Argyle revolution!" to a ‘'Gone-with-the-Wind’’ meter — ‘‘So next time your husband asks where | am/Tell him, ‘Frankly, my dear, | don't glve adamn.'"

Three socks wrote. One signed his (?) first name and sald he defected during the wash cycle because of the ‘pressures of living in Boston’ and he warned me to "stop

prying or you'll be sorry.’”

tam devoting the next two columns to this myth. The first will deal with the theorles behind the disappearance; the next one, the solution. Pray we do not become resigned like the man In Phoenix who gathers up two dozen pairs of new socks each year, tears them apart and throws out one of each pair... to save his wife the trouble.
