Baking Soda and Vinegar: In the Home and Garden

Like many of us, I like to keep a clean house. Cleaning my kitchen and bathroom sinks, counter tops and vanities once presented a challenge. How so? I refuse to use harsh chemicals, mainly because of my children's allergies and asthma. I also prefer an environmentally-friendly cleaning solution. I've found all this and more, by cleaning with a homemade paste I make from baking soda and vinegar. This all-natural cleaning solution removes most of my everyday stains and grime with ease. I just scour the surface with a scrubby-type sponge and it's a breeze. In addition to kitchen and bathroom surfaces, I use baking soda and vinegar cleaning paste on my parrot's cage. There are no harsh chemicals or fumes, so it's also perfect for cleaning the toddler's room. Try the same solution diluted with a bit of water to kill your garden weeds. You'll be amazed!

Welcome Spring: How A Lawn Care Service Can Get Your Lawn Ready For The New Season

There is rarely a season so welcome as spring, especially for those who enjoy spending time outdoors. The warmer temperatures bring with them anticipation about entertaining and spending time in nature. Hiring a lawn care service will help you get your outdoor space ready for the new season.

Debris clean up

Fall and winter often leave behind a lot of debris, especially if you live in an area with a lot of vegetation or trees. Removing dead foliage from the lawn and in flower beds, etc., will help establish healthy grass and foliage. A lawn service will clear debris from your outdoor space to get it in the best shape for spring.

Inspection of the lawn

Once debris is cleared away, your lawn care team will do a full inspection of your lawn to look for any existing problem areas that need to be reseeded or treated to give you a lawn that is lush and green. If your lawn needs reseeded, they can recommend the right grass seed to get the best results for the condition of your lawn.

Improper drainage and water runoff can damage grass and plants and cause roots to be exposed. Your lawn care service will look for any areas where water drainage may create a problem and recommend solutions to improve the drainage around your landscape.

Eliminate weeds

The inspection of your lawn will reveal any troublesome weeds that may interfere with the beauty of your lawn and need to be removed. Your lawn care service can recommend and discuss treatment options with you to rid your lawn of weeds and unwanted growth.

Apply fertilizer

Spring is a great time to apply fertilizer to your lawn and shrubbery. Some lawn services use fertilizers that contain substances to reduce unwanted weeds from growing. These special fertilizers need to be applied when the temperature is right, which can vary depending on your climate and location.

Pruning and trimming

Trimming shrubs prior to their active season of growth is important to their health. However, some flowering shrubs that are already budding should not be trimmed. Your lawn care team will know which shrubs should be trimmed and which ones can wait.

Getting your lawn ready for spring is necessary but can feel a little overwhelming when you consider all that needs to be done. Hiring a lawn care service is the best way to get your lawn ready for the arrival of spring. All you need to do is relax and plan all the great outdoor events you will have in the great outdoors.
