14 Tips to get your kids gardening this spring Real Estate

04 04 12

Spring is here and it’s time to think about your garden again. This year, as you cultivate your thriving plot, think about ways to get your whole family involved in gardening -- which makes for a great fresh air activity. Not only is gardening a terrific way to spend time with your kids, but it also regularly gets them outside and away from their TVs and computers. Here are some tips to get your little couch potatoes growing potatoes instead: Teach Kids are never too young to learn how plants grow and where their food comes from. In fact, growing a garden is an ideal hands-on lesson in life science, ecology and nutrition, and is a lot more fun than simply hitting the books. However, some of the concepts of gardening may be difficult for younger kids to grasp. Fun age-appropriate learning activities and ideas can be found online, at such websites as MiracleGro.com/kids . Grow Giving your kids their very own gardening projects will help motivate them to cultivate their green

thumbs. A gardening set designed with kids in mind is a great way to get them started. For example, MiracleGro Kids offers a variety of flower and vegetable gardening sets that provide an optimal environment for growth, and an opportunity to watch plants progress both indoors and outdoors. Be sure to invest in ageappropriate tools for your children to use, so they can dig in the soil and water the plants right alongside you. Harvest Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, literally. Once your plants are ready for harvest, work with your kids to find great-tasting recipes they will love, incorporating the foods grown by you. From vegetable pizza to salad to fruit smoothies, the nutritious meals you plan and make together will be extra satisfying when you know the ingredients came from your own backyard. Enjoy You’ve worked hard pruning, weeding and watering your plants, and now, you have a blooming garden to show for it. Don’t forget to teach your children

the importance of appreciating the beauty of nature. Take a break to sit back, relax and enjoy your garden, as you contemplate what crops and flowers to include the following year. Cultivating your garden and watching it grow need not be a solitary activity this spring. By getting your children involved in the process, you will teach them valuable skills they can use for the rest of their lives. - StatePoint

Is your home air conditioner ready for spring and summer? Temperatures are on the rise, but that doesn’t mean your energy bill needs to increase too. There are a number of ways you can keep your home cool and your energy bills in check this season. Is your air conditioner operating optimally? If you have a central air conditioning system, it’s important to get it checked by an HVAC/R professional. Do some comparison shopping -- special deals are easy to come by on seasonal preventative maintenance. Be advised, however, that the expertise of HVAC/R technicians can vary widely.

Though the HVAC/R industry does not require technicians to take mandatory competency tests, you can help ensure a job well done by opting for a technician certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nation’s largest independent, non-profit certification body for HVAC/R technicians. NATE-certified technicians are qualified to properly install and service equipment, which translates to maximum home comfort and energy savings. Once you know your air conditioning system is running efficiently, there are several things you can do to keep

energy bills to a minimum: Keep air conditioner units clear of plants and debris. Obstructing airflow will reduce the unit’s efficiency. Raise the thermostat.

Each degree saves a percentage off your cooling energy bill. Check air filters every couple of weeks and change them at least twice during the season, or as directed by the manufacturer. Review last year’s energy bills. If your cooling costs are drastically higher this year, a qualified HVAC/R technician can help diagnose any problems. Don’t forget, even the most eco-friendly, high-efficiency products and appliances can waste money and energy if they’re not installed, serviced and maintained properly. By working with certified tech-

nicians, homeowners can have confidence that their HVAC/R equipment is delivering on the energy efficiency promised. When scheduling an air conditioning check-up, be sure to request a NATE-certified technician. To find a qualified local contractor who employs certified technicians, look for the NATE logo or go to HVACRAdvice.com . By making sure your air conditioning system is operating efficiently and by adopting a few energyfriendly habits, you can maintain a cool home while keeping energy costs down. - StatePoint
