Beautiful and Comfortable terrace
Eksterior November 9th, 2010
Relax in the terrace house is very pleasant indeed. To be more comfortable atmosphere, to overcome the disturbing scene with a choice of green plants!
Upon entering a house, the first place you see certainly the terrace. Nevertheless, although the terrace is the liaison between outer space and in space, not infrequently made in a variety of home owners atmosphere. Starting from the terrace of nuanced seriously, incorporating fish pond, garden, or simply equipped with two chairs and a table alone.
However, according to Sigit antoro, architect of the PT Orange Saffron Artistika, actual position of the terrace should not only be in front of the home. Terrace could be made in other parts of the house, like on the side or rear of the house. Then, How important is the existence of hell in the patio of a house?
“Core functions as a means of sanitation, air circulation, and the giver of light into the house,” said Sigit. In addition, when active outside the home, the owner requiring such a relaxing atmosphere to sit or drink coffee with your spouse and friends, in an informal setting that is warm and full of familiarity.
However, although the patio can be anywhere in a house, according to Sigit, should be a connector

between the “outside world” or other space with the main house. In fact, he continued, the terrace is ideally used as a kind of oasis or a house Conditioning.
“Imagine, if there is a house with no porch. It would seem more stuffy. Given Terrace, psychologically home will impress roomy, comfortable and cool,” said Sigit again.
One example, the terrace house situated in this Ciledug area (see picture). Although only has two chairs and one table only, can already be fairly comfortable terrace. That is, before entering the main room, guests can sit relaxed on the terrace before this tiny.
Of course, the guest will have a different impression if the patio is made more serious, like equipped with a fish pond or a small park that is beautiful, with a variety of beautiful ornamental plants. Every guest who comes must be stated on the terrace to enjoy the atmosphere like this.
Rework Landscape
However, Sigit added: “To get a comfortable atmosphere, not just a simple porch has two chairs and one table only. If you love hanging out with neighbors, friends, or neighbors, the number of seats could be added. Select the material occupied a comfortable chair,” suggested Sigit.

Actually, he added again, no special requirements to make the patio more comfortable and beautiful to look at. “With or without a roof terrace, okay. The important thing, the residents do not overheat in the afternoon. So, first orient the position of the sun. And when it rains, the water is not directly enter into the house,” said Sigit.
In addition, the view around the porch must be processed to make it more delicious. Terrace will be ugly if used as storage of the goods of the former homeowner. There are bicycles, buckets, basins, and various other household appliances secondhand. Finally, no one was willing to sit relaxed on the terrace is more like a warehouse.
One thing also to remember, if the porch was in front of the house, never put the trash can right in front of the porch! And, to get around to all the family members or guests who come to settle lingering on the porch, create a pleasant atmosphere.
Do not make the transition just a place terrace before stepping into the room. “To be beautiful again, put some ornamental plants in pots. Whether on a table, next to chair, or in one corner of the terrace. Remember, keep unnecessary items, which should not exist on the porch.”
And last but not least, consider also questions the homeowner’s privacy. Terrace overlooking the main street, not to be a spectacle of people passing by. The anticipation, do in a way that is easy, simple, and inexpensive, Sigit suggested, make the fence of the plant.
Terrace ideal position of course what is behind the house. Surely the privacy of home owners to be more secure. “But the weakness, the landscape will be limited. Moreover, if the patio directly adjacent to the kitchen or a place to hang clothes dirty.”
Another case when the back porch has another vision of object. For example, directly adjacent to the number of rooms are laid out nicely. For example, bedrooms, clean kitchen, or dining room. “The presence of the terrace will be a point of interest, separate from the surrounding spaces.”
While the terrace which was made in the middle or side of the house, to function more as “tools” sanitation, lighting source, or sources of air flow. Interestingly again, Sigit give an example, in a house, the owners are making the porch in the bathroom, you know!
“The atmosphere of the bathroom so much more fresh, clean and healthy. When the door opened, fresh air can freely enter, as well as sunlight. The event became more enjoyable shower because of this terrace. Of course, the owner must pay attention to privacy, so that neighbors can not peep, “said Sigit.
Planting Fruit at Home House
Gardening November 9th, 2010
Price increases, joining an impact on the price of fruit, especially fruit imports. Well, why not grow it themselves.
Melon
There are several types of melons. But the much-loved is a kind of Sky rocket from Taiwan and the emerging is the kind of Swing from Japan. Swing sweet melon fruit with thick flesh. Compared sky rocket, Swing has a more coarse mesh and exposed. Fruit spherical shape with a maximum weight of 1.4 kg. While sky rocket could reach 2 kg more. Compared sky rocket, Swing melon flesh thicker, more sweet, and crunchy.
Melons are in need of sunlight. Conversely, the rain can be damaging, especially if it rains continuously when the fruit is harvested late. Fruit can be reduced sweetness. Strong winds can also break the stalks of plants, and high humidity can cause disease. The air temperature required is quite high, around 20-30 degrees Celsius.
Preparation begins by soaking the seeds in warm water mixed substance growing inducement 1 cc / l, until the water is cold. After chilling, seeds removed and dikecambahkan over with a damp washcloth, then covered with newspaper. If germinated along the 0.5 cm, the seedlings are ready for seedlings planted in the media.
Use a mixture of soil, sand, and manure with a ratio of 1:1:1 as a medium for seedlings. This media is placed in polybags bags as much as 5 cm from the bottom. In each polybag, provide as much as one of NPK 15:15:15 grams. Seedlings planted in the middle of the media with the root position at the bottom, then cover with a layer of soil. Siramlah to taste and place it in a place exposed to sunlight, but protected from rain.
Seven days later, seedlings should be sprayed with a mixture of insecticide, fungicide, and foliar fertilizer, each 1 ml per 1 liter of water. Fifteen days later, new leaves will emerge as much as 4-5 strands. Well, this melon seedlings ready for planting in the open air courtyard. Do not forget to give shade from the roof of a transparent plastic 1 mm. The size is approximately 2 x 3 meters. Complete with poles. Height of 2 m to the west and 2.5 m in the East. A third of the upper walls also need to be closed transparent plastic.
We suggest you choose the evening for planting melon seeds. Use a diameter of 40 cm polybags to plant the melon with a distance of 50 cm between polybags. Used the same media with the media for seedlings, but the amount of up to 10 cm below the lip polybags. Give NPK 16:16:16 2-3 grams and 2 grams of carbofuran are mixed evenly.
Move the seeds from the media into the media planted seedlings have to be careful. Sobeklah plastic in order to land that is not attached to the plant roots can not be separated. Enter into a planting medium that has been drilled. Then cover with soil, and tap-tap in order to somewhat dense, then flush with water. Fit tip marker from bamboo poles nailed to the roof of the shade. Tie the plants at stake with rope. But make it a little loose so as not to inhibit the growth of plants.
Now, you just take care of him. A week after planting, give as many as one of NPK 16:16:16 teaspoon, in the morning, every week. Fertilizer incorporated into the plot of land made around the stems of plants as deep as 3 cm. Enter the fertilizer evenly, then cover again with soil. Once fertilized, flush with water.
In addition, you also need to provide appropriate development of foliar fertilizer, foliar fertilizer with the higher nitrogen content during the vegetative (stem and leaf growth of plants), and the berkandungan phosphorus and high potassium in the generative period (conception). The size is 2 cc per liter of water (if you use the fertilizer solution) or 2 grams per liter (if form granules). How, to spray the fertilizer into the surface of the upper and lower leaves, shoots, stems and stalks of plants. Give at 9am.
Soil should be moist, but if too damp can damage plant roots. Therefore, siramlah every day to taste depending on the circumstances. If still wet, do not need watering. Towards the establishment of nets on fruit skin, stop watering for a week. After netting appeared about 60 percent, re-watered plants sufficiently.
In each armpit dilanjarkan plant leaf on a bamboo stake, will grow many branches. Therefore you need to cut a branch on the first leaf armpit until the eighth. The next branch maintained to produce fruit. Male flowers appear on the first until the eighth leaf armpit also trimmed. In addition, crop tops cut off if the plant has reached 150 cm high.
Armpit female flowers appear on the first leaf. Each branch can produce two female flowers, but in one branch dibuahkan only one course. After appearing fruit, reserving the leaves, then cut the top branches.
Assisted by a bee pollinating melons. However, to ensure the fruit, you can self-pollinating. Take pollen from male flowers using a small brush. Then dab the brush on the female flowers are blooming. Do it on every day during good weather.
Each branch can produce 1-2 melon fruit. Though each plant may have 15-20 branches. Therefore, you need to qualify. The amount of fruit in one plant should be 3-5. Allow the chicken to the size of an egg. Then, select one or two points that shape and looks good. While the less well disposed. When I was at a tennis ball, fruit stalk attached to a stake so that the fruit does not stick in the ground.
When he was 75-80 days after sowing, fruit ready for harvest. Sign of the mature fruit is full nets appear on the skin near the stem to the fruit. Also appears fractures form the dividing line between the fruit and the fruit stalks, until it was clear a ring.
