Lawn, Garden and Workshop
For more information:
Share seldom-used tools with neighbors and family.
Use strips of old cloth to tie plants to stakes.
Rent items that you use only occasionally.
Reuse hard plastic product containers as mini-paint trays.
Buy tools with rechargeable batteries, not disposable.
Compost lawn and kitchen waste to fertilize next year's garden.
more tips- Before starting a project, prepare a plan, so you can buy the smallest amount of lumber, hardware, finishes or other materials.
- Mow your yard with a mulching mower to reduce grass clippings.
- If you fertilize your yard, do it in the fall, when it’s more effective and less is washed away by spring rains. It’s better for the grass and doesn’t produce the extra growth that results in more yard clippings.
- Estimate the amount of paint needed for a job and buy only what you need, saving leftover for touch-up or other projects.
- Rotate your car’s tires regularly, and keep them properly inflated -- it will make them last longer and save you money.
- Use integrated pest management (practices to avoid attracting pests and other natural methods of repelling pests) or non-toxic applications to reduce use of pesticides and protect your family's health.
