It is really difficult to garden on steep slopes b

It is really difficult to garden on steep slopes but creating a terrace with loffel stones opens up the possibility of creating a vertical garden feature, quite literally a beautiful flowering wall.

The most suitable plants are those with small or shallow root systems and they should be hardy, heat and drought tolerant as most retaining walls are hot and sunny. To create and interesting and colourful flowering wall, plant blocks of single varieties and colours to achieve a massed effect.
For a green wall, use spreading or trailing groundcovers with different coloured foliage to produce a pleasing pattern.

For more information on getting started, watering and choosing the right flowers, read the full article by clicking on the link in our bio.

Some tips:
- Start with small plants or healthy, well established seedlings that can grow into the cavities. Bigger plants will be hard to plant and may not establish as easily.

- Use either compact or spreading plants, depending on the effect you want. With spreading plants, it may not be necessary to fill every cavity and you may also be able to skip a row. Start planting at the top of the wall and work your way down.

We’re talking tennis!
We caught some tennis action at the WIPHOLD International Women’s Tennis Tournament ... an all-female event that totally lived up to the hype. While we didn’t snag any gold medals, Isabella Kruger and Zoe Kruger gave it their all and came pretty close in the doubles final where they almost pulled off a win. The Kruger sisters faced tough competition from the Russian duo, Alina Charaeva and Ekaterina Reyngold. On the singles side, top seed Laura Pigossi from Brazil absolutely crushed it, taking down Hanne Wandewinkel from Belgium in a stylish final showdown.

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say by clicking on the link in our bio. Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.

WIN WIN WIN… a copy of Beenwerf… an intriguing

WIN WIN WIN… a copy of Beenwerf… an intriguing blend of fiction and truth.

Frans Venter used the pseudonym, Frederick Erasmus, when he authored Beenwerf. This passionate writer has had an interesting life up to now… full of suffering and laughter. But, always more laughter than sorrow. He finds the ebb and flow of waves and bushveld sunsets most inspiring.

It is said quite truly, that truth is stranger than fiction. Frans, on the other hand, finds both equally fascinating. And so, he likes to weave fiction and truth in a thread resulting in new meanings and realities. This is how his latest book, Beenwerf was born.

Some more about it...
It began in Auschwitz, but did not end there. Decades later, identical twins are born a week apart, thousands of kilometers from each other.
Money, power and the superiority of the Aryan race are the building blocks of an exciting plot three generations later.
A South African journalist is unstoppable when her husband falls victim to a heinous plot. Piece by piece she unravels the connections between the bone yard of the past and the injustice in the present. But will she be able to stop the crime against life?

The book can be found at graffitibooks.co.za and coralpublishers.com from around R306. You can also order directly from the author by sending an email to frans@fransventer.co.za for R290 (delivery included).

For a chance to win, simply like this post, follow us and tag a fellow book-lover. Entries close April 30. Winners are to collect their prize from their nearest Get It office.
