Eight tips to get your lawn mower ready for spring (BPT) - With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to tune up your lawn mower for the season ahead. A yearly tune-up is important to ensure all parts of your mower are functioning properly and safely. Use these eight tips to rev up your engine and get your mower

ready for spring: 1. Read the operator's manual. Before operating your lawn mower, always read the operator's manual in its entirety to ensure safe and proper use of the equipment.

Also be sure you understand and follow all instructions and are familiar with all the

controls and functions.

It's best to keep your manual in a safe place in case you need to reference it at any time.

2. Check your fuel.

Fuel can go bad in as little as 30 days and bad fuel can result in a sputtering engine or prevent the mower from turning over. If the fuel

has a strange odor or has become thick and viscous, it's best to drain it. Once you've drained the gas, fill the tank with fresh fuel. Check your operator's manual for information on the right fuel type for your mower as using improper fuel can damage your equipment.

3. Lubricate the throttle and moving parts. Leftover grease and oil can harden while your mower sits during the winter. To help loosen the hardened oil, apply a light lubricant on the narrow spring of the throttle. If you have a mower with adjustable heights, like Yard Machines' 21-inch high wheel 3-in-1 push mower, make sure to lubricate

the lever, as well as any other moving parts.

4. Clean the air filter.

Air filters shield your engine from dirt and can easily become clogged with oil and debris. This can prevent oxygen from entering the engine, resulting in coughs and sputters. It's recommended you replace your air filter every season for best engine performance. To clean a washable foam filter, soak it in warm, soapy water and squeeze it dry. If your unit uses a cardboard or paper filter, simply replace it.

5. Check and change the oil. Always check the oil level before using your mower, and be sure to change the oil filter and add new oil

after using your mower for about five to eight hours. Running a motor on low oil can lead to low compression and can burn out the engine.

Overfilling, however, can damage the seals. In this case, remove the oil plug, drain the old oil and refill the engine with the oil amount and type indicated in your operator's manual.

6. Install a new spark plug. Spark plugs are inexpensive and should be replaced once a season. Over time, they can become rusted and corroded, and a fouled or corroded plug won't spark at all. Remember to always remove the spark plug wire before servicing. When See Lawn, page 4

Sowing the seeds of spring: How to start your garden indoors

(BPT) - While cooler temperatures slowly fade, gardeners across the country eagerly await the arrival of spring and the chance to get outdoors and grow something. If gardening is your passion, you don't have to wait until the weather is perfect to get started. In fact, working ahead by growing your own seedlings is a great way to ensure your garden is successful throughout the warmer months.

"Planting seedlings indoors before transplanting them into the ground is a great use of time and money," says Darin Brockelbank, owner of Metro-Greenscape, landscape design and outdoor specialists, and members of the Porch.com home improvement network. More than 1.5 million professionals participate in the network, offering services for more than 90 million projects. "Growing seedlings is something homeowners can easily do on their

own and save their money to hire professionals for larger projects."

Starting your own seedlings offers many advantages, including the ability to get a jump-start on spring planting. Growing your own plants from seed is less expensive than buying small plants and provides access to a much wider variety of plants. The pros at Porch.com offer these tips for starting seedlings to get your garden growing: * Selecting seeds Some seeds can be planted and started indoors, while others need to go directly in the ground outdoors. As you're choosing seeds for your garden, read the packets thoroughly to ensure the seeds you're buying are appropriate for indoor planting. Be aware that many vegetable seeds need to be planted directly in the ground.

Most packages will also include information on what time of year to plant, so follow the guidelines for best results. In general, start seeds about six weeks before the last frost date. Check the Farmer's Almanac Frost Date Calculator to find out when that is in your area. * Choosing containers Seed starter kits are available for easy planting, but any container will do as long as it is about 2 to 3 inches deep and has drainage holes. Egg cartons and paper cups are inexpensive and easy options; be sure to poke drainage holes in the bottoms. Fill your containers with a good soil mix - never use regular soil from your yard. Seeds need just the right texture and mixture of nutrients to succeed.

Covering your containers with plastic wrap or plastic lids will help keep soil and seeds moist.

See Seeds, page 6

removing the old one, check the spark plug cable Continued from page 2 for signs of damage or rust.

Do not clean or reuse old spark plugs.

7. Inspect blades. A dull blade will cause grass tips to turn brown, and weakened grass blades are prone to pests and disease. If your blades are bent or dull, replace them with new blades to deliver a clean cut, optimum performance, increased life for your equipment and professional-looking results for your lawn. However, always replace parts with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) pieces that are specifically made for your machine to maximize performance and results.

8. Replace the belt or battery. Always be sure to clean any debris, leaves or grass clippings from under the deck to prevent rust and corrosion. If you own a self-propelled unit and the belt is heavily worn or shows signs of cracking, replace it immediately. If you have a unit with an electric start, however, make sure your battery didn't drain over the winter. Check your operator's manual for specific instructions for charging or replacing your battery.

Getting your mower in optimal shape is crucial for a well-maintained lawn and a safe season. Prepare for spring, and visit homedepot.com for more information about Yard Machines products and lawn care tips.

In order to germinate, most seeds need a steady temperature of about 78 F. You can create localized warmth for seeds through use of electric heaters or heat mats placed under containers. You can also try placing containers atop warm appliances, such as a refrigerator, as long as they will also receive ample light in the location. Once seedlings push through the soil, you can move them to a windowsill where they'll get more natural light. * Caring for seedlings

get soggy. If you used plastic wrap or covers, remove them from containers once seeds have sprouted. When leaves appear, begin fertilizing with a liquid fertilizer. Pay close attention to the dosage amounts recommended on the fertilizer packaging; seedlings are fragile.

Check on seedlings daily until you're ready to plant them outdoors.

"If your plants begin to bud before you transplant them to the outdoors, wait to move them until they are fully bloomed,"Brockelbank says. "If you transplant them while they are buds and cool weather hits, they could get frost bite and die. When it's time to transplant the seeds, make sure the soil is no cooler than 60 degrees."

Of course, not everyone with the urge to grow a garden has the time to invest or the green thumb to achieve it. If you find yourself lacking the resources to plant and care for seedlings, Porch.com has plenty of professionals who can help you get - and keep - your garden growing.

"The hardest part of planting seeds indoors is caring for them before they are transplanted,"-Brockelbank says.

"Once they are transplanted, the plants should be very low maintenance."

his week’s featured home is located on Whispering Pines in Albany. This spacious abode contains three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.

The inground pool in the backyard is the icing on the cake!

A charming walking path made of brick pavers leads from the road to the front door. The front entrance opens to reveal a large living room with glowing hardwood flooring. Three sunny windows flood the space with natural light. To the right of the room is a cozy fireplace for the family to gather around.

Straight through the living room from the front door, you will a tiled dining room with wainscoting and a sliding glass door. This room is conveniently

Breakfast Nook

just off the kitchen.

The kitchen features custom cabinets with a built-in pantry and breadbox. A granite countertop provides a good, solid food prepping surface. The warm-toned tile on the floor picks up on the wood of the cabinets and the black of the appliances nicely. A higher breakfast bar provides dining space and acts as a divider between the kitchen and breakfast nook. This nook is actually quite sizable and has some beautiful features. Exposed brick on three of the walls adds character to the space. A built-in at the rear of the room would be great as a mini bar or as a place to display decor. The tiled floors in this room are continued from the kitchen.

At the rear of the nook is a

door to the home’s half bathroom, which also leads to the laundry room and an office/storage room. The half bath is conveniently located for guests both from inside the home and from the pool area. Nobody will have to drip pool water through the house to find a restroom.

The laundry room is plenty roomy and has tiled flooring.

Through this area is a room that could be used for pool storage, an office, or just an indoor lounging area near the pool.

On the opposite end of the house are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first bedroom is to the left and the first bathroom is on the right of the hallway. The bath on the hall features a pedestal sink and a shower/tub combo. The walls are

tiled.

The next bedroom on the right of the hall is the master suite.

There are two large closets in this bedroom and a private bathroom. The master bath has tiled walls and a shower/tub combo. Across the hall from the master suite is the final bedroom, which features a spacious double closet.

There are two rear exits to the backyard: the sliding glass door in the dining room or a single door in the office at the rear of the home. A patio off the rear of the home provides a great place for grilling and entertaining. At the rear of the lot is a privacy fence, so you can swim in seclusion!

Empty nesters want low-maintenance yards that focus on fun and functionality, not fuss

(BPT) - One of the first questions new empty nesters face is: what do we do with the nest? Some are eager to downsize and sell. Others like where they live and choose to stay put.

No matter the decision, the property, new or old, is likely in for a makeover aimed at making routine upkeep more manageable. One of the key areas to tackle is the yard and garden. The following are tips for transforming a yard's maintenance-hungry features, especially the lawn, into alternatives that offer fun and functionality without the fuss. * Create no mow zones - The lawn is often a yard's highest maintenance feature. One simple way to reduce lawn maintenance is to strategically stop mowing certain parts of the yard, while continuing to maintain more desirable areas. Un-mowed areas needn't look messy. Delineate the divide between mowed lawn and wilder spaces with a strategically placed stone wall or wooden fence. Adding clusters of ornamental grasses or shrubs along the new lawn's edge also works to soften the border transition. For a bit of fun, sow some un-mown areas with wildflower seeds. Add green trails for impromptu strolls or heart-pumping walks by cutting a circular path through the no-mow zone. Post birdhouses or

feeders along the route for bird watching. * Swap some turf for landscape beds - Freestanding landscape islands of trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials are appealing low-maintenance features that can reduce lawn area. Landscape beds are also a solution for difficult to maintain stretches like steep slopes, rough terrain and curbside strips. It's important to cover exposed soil with mulch to stop weeds from growing. To go from low to practically no maintenance, sprinkle a weed preventer like Preen on top of mulch to stop weed seeds in the mulch itself from sprouting. Better yet, use Preen Mulch Plus, a premium bagged mulch with added weed preventers already mixed in. Available at Lowe's stores and independent garden centers, it's guaranteed to prevent more than 100 types of tough weeds, including dandelions, for up to six months. * Switch to lawn care "lite" With less lawn why hang on to over-sized lawn care equipment? Today there are new compact choices scaled

to yards under 1/4 acre including cordless electric mulching mowers, battery-powered edgers and programmable directional lawn sprinklers. There's also a new spreader designed for small lawns, slopes and tight spaces that's ergonomic too. The Ready2Go Spreader is a lightweight, hand-carried and battery-powered unit that comes pre-loaded with popular lawn products from Preen, Greenview or Vigoro to feed or treat up to 2,500 square feet. Each is refillable and precalibrated, so no settings are ever needed. * Deck the yard for fun and folly.

Converting open spaces to outdoor entertaining areas is another way to reduce yard maintenance. Paved patios and decks make perfect places to sit, barbecue, dine or simply enjoy being outdoors. New composite decking, bricks and paving stones are definitely low upkeep installations. Other ideas include fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, gravel paths and terraces. Don't just look at spots close to the house: come up with reasons to hang out in different

parts of the yard. * Uncontained enthusiasm for containers - Downsizing elaborate garden beds is another area to explore.

But don't give up seasonal flowers: plant in containers. A booming trend among boomers, container plantings add accent color and seasonal drama to decks, patios, paths and other outdoor spaces. For lower maintenance choose fewer but bigger pots. Just a few large containers of colorful plants will have a major impact. They also retain soil moisture better than smaller pots and need watering less often. Except in coldest areas, large frost-resistant resin or fiberglass containers can be left out year-round. For long-term plantings, check plant labels for USDA winter hardiness zones. Potted plants are more exposed to the elements, so choose ones rated one zone colder than usual.

Life in an empty nest can be a time of rediscovery. Reducing lawn and garden upkeep is one way boomers can free up time for other more entertaining pursuits.

Tipping TVs to fire hazards: Vital home safety for 2014 (BPT) - Boosting home safety in 2014 can be as simple as moving a flatscreen TV from a TV stand to a wall mount, or setting your smartphone to remind you when it’s time to change the batteries in smoke detectors.

From 2006 to 2011, more than 100,000 injuries resulted from tipped TVs, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Hanging a TV on the wall moves it away from little hands or moments of adult

clumsiness, plus it displays one of your biggest tech investments at its best.

Homeowners have many options for wall mounting a TV, from mounts that keep the set flush against the wall to ones with a full range of tilt and motion.

It’s easy to find a mount that will work for your TV. Check out www.sanus.com to use the simple mount-finding tool that will recommend a Sanus mount that’s right for your set.

If smoke detectors are more than eight to 10 years old, you should replace them with newer models, regardless of whether they’re battery-powered or hardwired with a battery backup, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Use your smartphone’s calendar to set a quarterly reminder to prompt you when it’s time to change the battery.
