Learn how to light your garden with torches

With the arrival of warmer weather , the garden becomes the most prominent part of the home. With the heat and high temperatures, we all want to spend time outdoors at all hours, both day and night. To be comfortable in the garden after sunset, adequate lighting is essential. There's no better way to achieve this than with torches , a truly original option that will also give your garden a personal and unique touch .

How to use garden torches correctly

If you decide to use torches , there are a few things to keep in mind to achieve a spectacular result. First, you'll need a good number of torches to ensure your garden is sufficiently illuminated. You'll also need to decide where and how to place them . A very original and eye-catching idea would be to arrange them along a pathway in your garden, leading to a table and chairs or the area where you've placed most of your garden furniture. Ideally, you would also surround this area with torches. Placing them randomly, without any pattern, wouldn't make much sense, as you might end up placing extra torches or some in a corner of the garden that doesn't need lighting . In any case, it's your garden and your torches, so the final choice is yours. There are also a few tips you might find useful when installing torches :

• Remember that most of them use oil . Therefore, it's best to use a natural oil that won't harm your plants or lawn.

• If you want a spectacular and radiant flame, you can use alternative substances, such as paraffin or citronella paraffin , which repels mosquitoes. You can use these on special occasions, for example, when you invite someone over and want to surprise them with incredible lighting .

• Before lighting the torch and immediately after adding the oil, it's advisable to wait about five minutes for the wick to come into contact with your chosen substance. This will ensure the wick ignites properly .

• There are many different types of torches in terms of style. You can choose the one you like best, of course, but ideally you should choose one that matches the rest of your garden and home furnishings, creating an unparalleled sense of harmony .

By following these simple instructions, you can create a unique torch-lit garden. You'll impress all your guests and make every evening special by firelight .
