Aerator with ATV
Many of us have our own way of preparing our lawns for winter, but we have found that lawns grow the most in the spring and fall seasons. So those are the best times to help the grass grow. The reason grass grows best in fall and spring is because it is coming out of dormancy.
 
One of the easiest ways to improve your lawn is by aeration. A plug aerator can not only help your lawn breath, but also help it absorb the fertilizer you are putting down. It also helps break down heavy thatched areas of grass by putting fresh soil on top of the thatch layer to help it break down.

Cell Phones for Troops

Recently I purchased a book from www.amazon.com.  I received with the book an envelope for a cool new program that has been created to help our troops in the Middle East be able to contact home a little easier. It is called “Cell Phones for Soldiers.”

 It came as a plastic sealable bag to put old and used cell phones in so they can be activated to send over seas.  I thought it was a great idea to help families keep in touch, even if it is just for a few minutes.

The program is free to anyone who wants to participate, and the only cost is that old phone that you really don’t need anyways. What a great idea!

For those of you who own a cat or kitten as a pet, it can be sometimes difficult to find the right treatment to prevent fleas from causing problems for your pet.  For us we have a cat that likes to go outdoors, so it can be even more of a challenge to keep the fleas away. 

 

When we first found our cat he was a stray that came around for the attention and a meal. We knew we would have to clean him and up and and treat him for fleas or anything else he may have so we could take him in. The treatment we have found is rather inexpensive yet it is very effective for our cat.  It is available at your local Wal Mart so it is readily available to pretty much everyone. 

 

 

16kit.jpgHave you blown a head gasket or maybe cracked your block? Your mechanic is quoting you 4 figure numbers to have it repaired. The question goes through your mind to junk the ride or maybe replace the whole engine. Neither is cheap so which is the best route? 

Well why not fix it yourself in under 1 hour? If you have a basic understanding of an engine then you’re on the way to a quick secure fix for cheap.

The product is called Thermagasket. This product is well worth the time and money of trying to fix your problems. At worst case you try it and it doesn’t work. But I don’t think that will be the case. If Thermagasket doesn’t work then the mechanic has more in store when they tear it apart and your bill is sure to go up.
