Garden Lighting
In article ,
Stephen M. Henning writes Sacha wrote: Look, I'm really sorry to rain on anyone's parade but perhaps you might ask yourselves if you really *want* garden lighting? Why? What will you do with it? Will you actually sit at the window and turn off the telly and look out at our night-illuminated garden? Apparently you aren't familiar with the tradition of barbecue (bar-BQ). It is where you cook outdoors on a grill (charcoal or propane) and eat outdoors. If the host has a nice garden, the bar-BQ may be held in or next to the garden. If the function lasts after sundown, outdoor lighting is needed. Frequently it includes tiki torches with citronella laced fuel to keep the insects down. Poor old mother earth. The unnatural light in the garden scares off all those nocturnal creatures that don't like light . . . .. . . you kill the insects so the animals that feed off the insects all die; then all the animals that feed off the animals that eat the insects all die . . . .. . . and you would rather look at artificial light than the stars . . . poor old mother earth ((((((((((( BTW in the uk when the temperature reaches a sufficient level to have a bbq outside, it stays light until it is too cool to be outside any more!!! -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster. I won't respond to private emails that are on topic for urg but if you need to email me for any other reason, put ransoms at jandg dot demon dot co dot uk where you see |
