Flat, even landscapes are often coveted in backyards. However, flat backyards are not always so easy to find. Fortunately, varied terrain does not mean that certain landscaping plans are entirely off limits, especially for homeowners willing to build retaining walls.

Retaining walls help turn steep slopes in a yard into terraced focal points. They also can reduce soil erosion in hilly areas and can be used for aesthetic pur-poses, like raised plant-ers, or to create more usable space within the yard. When an in-ground pool or pond is cut into a backyard hill, a retaining wall helps keep the remaining portion of that hill from

collapsing into the cut-away area.

When contemplating retaining wall projects, a lesson in physics and engineering may be needed. A sturdy and long-lasting retaining wall needs to be built in a way that will take into consideration the force of the soil and the point at which the soil will begin to slide away, advises the experts at The Family Handyman. If these calculations seem be-yond the scope of your ability, installation of a retaining wall is a job best left to a profes-sional. If you are ready to forge ahead, these tips can get you started. However, it’s important to note the potential benefits of working with others who have already built a retaining wall.

· Safety first: Call to have underground utili-ties plotted and marked before beginning any excavation.

· Map out your trench and begin to dig. The trench should have a level, compacted base as it will be the foun-dation for which the retaining wall mate-rials, be they blocks, bricks or wood, sit in. A crushed stone base will help anchor the courses and serve to promote drainage. The Family Handyman says to bury the first course of the retaining wall one-tenth the height of the wall to prevent soil behind it from pushing the bottom out.

· Check for level. When placing blocks or timbers, make sure they are even with the first and periodically check for level as you

go, advises the home improvement retailer Lowes®.

· Stagger and set back. The next row of blocks or material should be positioned so that the joints are stag-gered for blocks, bricks or wood. A masonry blade will be needed to cut the harder materi-als; a circular saw will cut timber. Also, work against gravity by set-ting the second course slightly back from the first to help push back

against the soil that is trying so hard to push forward. Repeat the process as each level is placed. Many retaining wall products are made with a lip to create this set back.

· Go with the grade. For especially steep slopes, a gradual step-up design may be more secure and more appealing than a very tall retaining wall. Each level of a stepped design should be done like the first.

· Backfill with stone for drainage. Using a layer of stone behind the retaining wall can help successfully direct water away so it will not increase the weight of the soil behind the wall and push against the retaining wall, ad-vises The Home Depot.

Retaining walls serve different purposes in a yard. Building such a wall requires planning and careful execution to ensure the job is done correctly.

Gardening is bene-ficial in various ways. The AARP states that some of the health perks associated with gardening include im-proved mood, increased vitamin D levels (which benefits bones and immune system) and reduced risk of dementia. In addition, if gardening efforts include growing herbs, fruits and vegetables, it can be a cost-effective

way to eat healthy.For gardeners with-

out sufficient space or for those with mobility issues, container gar-dening can be an ideal way to grow everything from flowers to vege-tables. Better Homes & Gardens says most plants are not fussy about the containers in which they grow so long as some of their basic needs are met. This means watering correctly for the type of plant, and ensuring sufficient drainage.

The following are some other ways con-tainer gardening efforts can prove successful.

· Watch water. Planet Natural Research Center says plants with thin leaves typically need ample water, and plants with thick leaves need less. Use this as a guideline to gauge water needs.

· Size correctly. Plants should be sized to the container. Con-sider dwarf varieties of certain plants if your containers are small.

· Choose the right soil. Fill containers with a commercial potting soil rather than soil from the garden. Garden soil can dry into a solid mass, while commercial mixtures have amendments like peat moss, vermiculite, compost, and other ingredients to help with soil texture and mois-ture retention.

· Mix it up. When planting containers of flowers and other

greenery, Good House-keeping says to include “a thriller, a spiller and a filler” as a good rule of thumb. The thriller is the focal point, the spiller a trailing plant, and a filler has smaller leaves or flowers to add bulk and color.

· Poke holes. Drain-age holes are essential so that soil will not become waterlogged. Holes don’t need to be large, but there should be enough of them so that excess water can drain out readily.

· Select the right con-tainer material. Con-tainer materials may be affected by gardeners’ budgets, personal taste and other factors. For those who live in hot climates, selecting a light-colored container can help prevent further soil heat absorption.

Container garden-ing is a healthy and enjoyable activity that can pay dividends in various ways.
