To prune or not to prune...Understanding the natural "habit" orshape of shrubs will help you determine how to prune them. Allshoots grow outward from their tips.Whenever tips are removed, lowerbuds are stimulated to grow. Budsare located at nodes, where leavesare attached to twigs and branches.Each node produces from one tothree buds, depending on shrubspecies.

How to PruneThere are two basic types of pruningcuts: heading cuts, and thinning cuts.Heading cuts stimulate growth ofbuds closest to the wound. Thedirection in which the top remainingbud is pointing will determine thedirection of new growth. Make

heading cuts selectively to reduceshrub height and retain natural form.Thinning cuts remove branches attheir points of origin or attachment.Used in moderation, thinning cutsreduce shrub density without stimulating regrowth.

When to PruneLate winter or early spring, beforebud break, is usually the best time toprune many species because new tissue forms rapidly. Summer pruningtends to suppress growth of bothsuckers and foliage. Summerblooming shrubs should be pruned inearly spring prior to bud set, or insummer immediately following flowering.

From the hearth to the heart of the home:

21st century kitchens

What common theme uniteskitchens, houses and cars? Theyrepresent typically the three mostexpensive purchases people makethroughout their lives. Despite this,minute-for-minute, less time can beinvested in the design of, say, yourkitchen, than for trying clothes on.The advent of design softwareenables larger retailers to designkitchens quickly. However, thisindustrial approach won’t alwayssatisfy your current and futureneeds in detail sufficient to createthe design best suited for you.Costly buyer’s remorse, or at leastopportunities missed, might wellloom large after venturing down thisroute. Caveat emptor!Kitchens have evolved from the traditional domestic hearth and

washing area into the vibrant, beating heart of the modern home.Responsibility for creating thismulti-purpose space, where wonderful tastes and aromas mixeffortlessly with myriad social andentertaining uses, lies squarely atthe feet of the kitchen designer. As a matter of course, thoughtfuldesigners should acknowledge thisgrowing attitude towards kitchensas versatile, multi-functionalspaces. Taking the time to listen andunderstand each person’s needsand ideas, and create a kitchen thatreflects these, will help realise yourdream, satisfy lifestyle demandsand enable you to make the most ofthe heart of your home in the yearsahead.

“Insomnia and other sleep problems”I hear many people talking aboutsleep these days – or rather lack ofit!! Difficulties in getting off to sleep,racing thoughts they can’t switch off,and/or waking in the small hoursseemingly wide awake yet knowingthey need more rest. Most of uscope with the odd disturbed night,but if insomnia persists it can put areal strain on the body weakeningour immune system making us moresusceptible to all sorts of infectionsand illness. I see lots of people inclinic who are having problems sleeping, and funnily enough, thatisn’t always what they initially cometo see me for. I often find if I cansort out the sleep then many othersymptoms are helped too. The herbsI use depends on many factors(decided best during consultation);whether someone has difficulties getting off or staying asleep, whetherthey have a lot of stress/anxiety orsometimes their adrenal glands mayhave problems switching off due tounderlying problems? I often useherbs such as valerian root,chamomile, limeflowers, lavender,California poppy or skullcap to helpgently encourage the mind to quieten

and support the nervous systemenough for sleepto improve. Imight considerpassionflower orborage if stayingasleep is the p r o b l e m .Passionflower mayalso be helpful if

pain contributes to the insomnia. Iwould always encourage you seekadvice from a medical herbalistbefore taking herbs intended forchildren or if you are pregnant,breastfeeding, taking pharmaceuticalmedication or suffering from otherhealth conditions – most times thereare herbs you can take safely, its justimportant to make sure! Pleasedon’t hesitate to contact me shouldyou require a consultation or aninformal chat about herbs for insomnia or any other medical condition. Lynda Jones BSc(Hons) MNIMHDip BER Medical Herbalist

Staying independentin your own home with Saga

Nobody wants to lose their

independence as they get older. They

want to carry on living the life they

have always led and enjoying the

freedom, comfort and security of

their own home.

As things change, however, many

people find they need a little help and

Saga offers two invaluable services to

keep them independent and living at

home.

Our personal alarm system - Saga SOS

- can help in an emergency with just one

press of an unobtrusive button worn as

a pendant, wristband or

beltclip. This instantly contacts our

24-hour control centre, which operates

365 days a year, and can immediately

summon help by contacting either the

emergency services or a chosen

keyholder.

It's the perfect solution for someone

living alone or when there's no close

family or friends nearby as Mrs Welman

of Kent found. When she was putting

out her wheelie bin a gust of wind blew

it on top of her. She was trapped

underneath the bin with a broken hip but

luckily Mrs Welman was wearing her

SOS alarm and pressed the button.

If a bit more support and practical help

around the home is needed, Saga

Independent Living's team of

well-trained carers can see to their

needs. From shopping, laundry and

cooking meals to assisting with

personal care such as bathing, shaving

and help getting up in the morning, we

can help with the things that people find

harder as they get older. We can even

provide 24-hour live-in care giving the

reassurance that someone is always

there to help.

One or both of these services can be

used to help someone remain living in

their own home with the peace of mind

that help is never far away.

Saga Independent Living is available in

Kent and is a Kent County Council

Approved Provider.

Please call 0800 068 8535 for more

information about Saga SOS and

0800 068 5059 for Saga Independent

Living, stating reference RP7001.

within a cage, but not in

the same row or column.

Over the last 13 years Utility

Warehouse has grown from just an idea

into a company now worth around £140

million and whose shares are traded on

the London Stock Exchange. A track

record second to none. This phenomenal

growth in turnover and profits has been

achieved by word of mouth “referral

marketing”. Jonathan Hamilton, local

distributor, is positive about the future: “I

am proud to have helped many homes and

businesses in Kent & the South-East cut

their bills substantially. The market for our

services is vast & I am currently on a

recruitment drive to expand my team of

distributors in the Folkestone & Hythe

area”. Get Paid Forever

How many people do you know who use

the phone, switch on a light, turn on the

oven or use the Internet? “The key to this

business is that you do the work once –

and then you get paid forever,“

commented Jonathan. Every time your

customers make a phone call, switch on a

light, turn on the heating or surf the net,

you could be getting paid. To receive your

ongoing income, you simply need to

maintain at least 6 personal customers,

and you can start earning money from day

one. And you don’t just earn money from

your own personal customers. As an ID

(Independent Distributor) you can

introduce other Executives to this

business and earn commission on what

their customers spend too.

Join the team!

Thousands of Executives have already

joined Telecom plus, and many of them

are either earning a significant monthly

income which is making a huge difference

to their lives, raising funds for community

projects close to their hearts, or generating

significant discounts on their utility bills.

But with less than 2% of UK households

currently using our services, you needn’t

worry about being too late to join.
