How to Add a Potting Bench to a Yard

For a gardener, nothing is more satisfying then heading outdoors to pot up seedlings; a potting bench makes this easy. The main feature is the worktable, while lower shelves hold supplies like potting soil, pots and miscellaneous tools. The best work centers are designed around the needs of those who use it.



Step1
Walk around your entire yard considering possible locations for your potting bench. Obvious spots are exterior walls of the house, shed, garage or fence. Access to a hose, as well as the shed or garage where tools and supplies are stored, offers additional convenience.


Step2
Decide whether to buy a prebuilt bench, to assemble one from the variety of kits available, or to design and build your own. Use materials that coordinate with or complement your deck or fence.


Step3
Enhance the usefulness of your potting bench by adding a sink and faucet; bins or storage containers for potting soil and fertilizers; racks for pots; hooks for hanging tools; shelves for small pots and bottles. If possible, allow space to store a garden cart, a bin of potting soil, and trash and composts barrels.

How to Achieve Shen in Tai Chi

Tai chi is based on "chi," a life energy that is inherent in all living things. "Shen" is an elevated level of chi. With these steps, you'll learn how to purify your chi to reach contentment through shen.





Step1
Begin with meditation to become aware of your own chi.


Step2
Sit comfortably in a quiet place. Be sure that you won't be interrupted for at least 20 minutes.


Step3
Empty your mind of stressful thoughts and concentrate on the rhythm of your body. Sense the blood flow, your breathing and so on until you can feel the body's natural rhythm.


Step4
Bring up your spirit or awareness to your head by imagining a string pulling you up.


Step5
Push your breathing lower until you reach an area about three inches below the navel and two inches inward (the tan tien, known as the center of your chi).


Step6
Meditate every day. After several weeks or months you will begin to sense the rhythm of internal energy without the assistance of deep breathing.


Step7
Use your mind to guide your chi's path inside your body. You will gain increased awareness and natural energy.


Step8
Reinforce the spirit of your existence by applying a wide-angle vision of the world with an alert and relaxed mind.
