A front yard is an important place to maintain privacy, especially if your apartment is in an apartment complex. It's not uncommon for a neighbor to see into your home, ruin your romantic outdoor dinner, or disturb your view. If your neighbors live close to you, a tall fence might not suffice. You have many options for privacy that don't make your neighbor look unwelcoming. Hanging plants are an excellent choice if you don’t have time to tend to your yard.
Plants in pots can also add privacy, but they can be expensive. You can plant a variety of tall decorative grasses or flowers in large planters in the front yard. This will keep your neighbors away from your front door, and it will also help to block out your neighbor’s view of your garden. You will be able to draw attention to other areas in your yard. You can plant a variety of different plants, including some that provide you with a feeling of privacy.
Plants can create privacy and stop people from seeing you. Privacy panels are a great option for privacy. Adding climbing plants to the lattice panels will make them less obtrusive, and a pergola attached to your deck or porch can help you add even more privacy. To give your yard an eclectic look, you can plant several large planters that contain different plants.
Planters with decorative flowers can be a great option to create privacy. Large planters are suitable for tall grasses and flowers. Planters can be placed in rows on your porch or another area.

As an alternative, small ornamental trees or bamboo can be planted if you don’t have the funds for a large bag of potting dirt.
To make your backyard more private, you could also use greenery. You can use a shed to keep garden tools and toys safe. A cabana is an enclosed structure that gives you privacy in your yard.

A simple way to add privacy to your front yard is to plant more plants. A wood fence with lattice design is a great choice. This design will keep children safe and allow neighbors to say hello.

A fence can be replaced by a garden.

How To
Organic fertilizers for your garden
Organic fertilizers can be made from natural substances, such as compost, manure and seaweed extract. The term "organic" means that they are produced using non-synthetic material. Synthetic fertilizers are chemical compounds used in industrial processes. Synthetic fertilizers are used widely in agriculture as they supply nutrients quickly and efficiently to plants without the need for laborious preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose risks to human health and the environment. Synthetic fertilizers require large amounts of energy as well as water to be produced. Many synthetic fertilizers are also harmful to groundwater and water surface because of runoff. This pollution is detrimental to humans and wildlife alike.
There are many types of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is created when livestock eat foods containing nitrogen (a nutrient for plants). It has bacteria and enzymes that help to break down the waste, resulting in simple compounds that are easy for plants to absorb.
* Compost is a mixture of vegetable scraps and grass clippings, animal manure, and decaying leaves. It is rich for nitrogen, carbon, potassium and magnesium. It is porous so it retains moisture well and releases nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion is a liquid product made from fish oil. It dissolves fats and oils in a similar way to soap. It contains trace elements and phosphorous as well as nitrogen and nitrogen.
* Seaweed Extract - a concentrated solution of minerals extracted from kelp, red algae, brown algae, and green algae. It provides a source of vitamins A and C, iodine, and iron.
* Guano is the excrement of seabirds and bats. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal is the meat and bones of animals that have been slaughtered. It is rich with protein, making it useful for feeding poultry or other animals. It also has trace minerals such as phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients.
Combine equal parts of compost, manure and/or fish-emulsion to make organic fertilizer. Mix well. You can substitute one with another if you don't have access to all three ingredients. You can mix one part of the fish emulsion with two portions of compost if you don't have enough.
Use a shovel to evenly distribute the fertilizer over the soil. One quarter cup of the fertilizer should be spread per square foot. You will need to add more fertilizer every two weeks until you see signs of new growth.
