People call our store all the time asking about “Kangen Water“. They’ve been to a network marking meeting and heard all of the benefits of drinking “Kangen Water”. It’s generally after one of these meetings that they start doing research on ionized water and realize that “Kangen Water” is the same as “alkaline ionized water” or alkaline anti-oxidant water.

Invented by the Russians in the 1950′s and perfected by the Japanese in the 1960′s, the counter top water ionizers that have become so well know now are manufactured by several companies.

Raised Bed Made of Wood vs. Plastic Raised Beds

The advantages of raised bed gardening are numerous, and a raised bed made of wood carries even more benefits. Raised beds create highly efficient drainage systems, and the soil in raised beds stays warmer creating a more suitable environment for plants. Because these beds are higher up, you can take better advantage of an outdoor space, growing more plants and vegetables. Wooden raised beds are inexpensive and allow for a more natural approach to gardening. Consider the type of wood you are going to be using when building your raised bed, as some types will rot quicker than others.

Synthetic materials are also great for creating a raised bed. A plastic raised bed is more lightweight than one made out of wood, and is also inexpensive. Plastic beds built for outdoor gardening are often more durable than their wooden counterparts. What’s more, many plastic beds are made from recycled material, keeping your garden environmentally friendly. Depending on your budget, needs, and ability to “do-it-yourself” a synthetic raised bed may be a better option for you.

Finding Durable Wooden Post Caps

Several years ago I went to a local hardware store and bought some very cheap post caps. That old saying, you get what you pay for, has come back to haunt me because water has seeped into the cap and I have had to replace every one of them. Luckily, I was able to find the Newport Post Cap which is very well made and came with detailed instructions as to installation, care and upkeep. I have taken every precaution this time so I won’t have this issue in the future.

Because wood can be damaged by the weather it really is important to get a post cap that will last. The best durable wooden post caps are made of either cedar or redwood because these woods have oils that help them fend off water and insects and these are the very things that can ruin your posts on your fence and decks over time. It pays in the long run to go ahead and get the right product made with the right materials and do the right installation and care the first time round. I am living proof!
