Decorative cereals are loved by many summer residents. But often the lack of information about the speed of their growth, about the growing conditions becomes an obstacle to the desire to start them on the site.

Summer, heat … I want to relax, and not deal with some serious issues. So let things wait a bit! I propose to turn again to the important, relevant for many summer residents and, of course, a serious topic of fences (the choice of fencing for the site is no […]
