In-home music American poet Maya Angelou once said: “Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.” So it is in our homes, where music adds another dimension to the ambience a home decorator may wish to create. The latest technology is making this easier for people, as music individualised between indoor and outdoor living spaces can be controlled at the touch of a screen. You may want the tones of relaxing music in your garden at the same time the local radio station plays in the kitchen, and favourite playlists are filling bedrooms. Music can be part of an overall home automation system, on which your lighting, blinds, heating, security, television and gaming are all controlled. Such automation gives home owners endless choices in how to control the music in their home. For example, they may set the outdoor speakers to a volume level of just 40 per cent, ensuring the neighbours never have a reason to call noise control. Likewise, speakers in their teenager’s bedrooms can be programmed to drop their volume once it gets to 10pm at night. Getting out of bed in the morning can be made so much easier. Your favourite playlist or radio station can switch on in time with lighting in your bedroom or ensuite, and the volume can gradually increase as extra encouragement to get

up, alongside the window blinds rolling up and letting the sun-shine in. Blair Watson, managing director at ElectraServe, says such systems are proving popular with Mid Cantabrians. Many are at the stage of building their dream homes, and they want music to be

a big part of their plans. A popular place for installing a central touch screen is the kitchen, but many people are choosing to control everything off their smart-phones. Music lovers can access all their old vinyls, CDs and tapes, but the most

popular way of accessing music is subscribing to internet music sites. The automated systems generally utilise ghost speakers for indoors. They are fitted into the ceiling and painted the same colour as the ceiling. They can be retrofitted into older homes as well.

There are many, many different varieties of thyme out there in the herb world. But the one thyme that I’m particularly fond of is wild creeping thyme. It is mildly scented, attracts bees (very important) and can be used in cooking like regular thyme. But for me, what makes it just a step above some other thyme varieties is that it can be used as ground cover and is extremely resilient. Here’s an interesting fact – it’s also said to be deer resistant. This is not really something I’ve had a problem with in my garden at the nursery. But I can tell you it can withstand a good stomping from anything else – kids, dogs called Alvin, nursery chooks and more. This is why it makes a great ground cover or lawn. Furthermore, unlike other herbs, it doesn’t die back in winter and keeps on giving you bang for your buck. This is why

it’s classified as a hardy (can withstand the cold weather), evergreen (keeps its leaves) perennial (a plant that survives for three or more years). You can grab some wild creeping thyme seedlings from your local supermarket or our online store at www.awapuni.co.nz Then simply plant your wild creeping thyme plants around 20 to 30cm apart from each other.

You can harvest your thyme straight away but it’s best to give it some time to get established. The longer you leave it, the more leaves you’ll have to harvest later on. Then in spring and after flowering, give it a prune to help maintain its compact appearance. And before long you’ll be wild about creeping thyme like I am.
