(NAPS)—It’s a growing trend: Twenty-one million households are planting container gardens. It saves space, helps control pests and overcome soil issues, and lets you enjoy fresh, homegrown produce even without a yard.

To ensure your success, it’s important to pick the right plant for the pot. Fortunately, seed companies are developing vegetable seeds well adapted for container gardens.

“Today’s container gardeners now have access to even more plants that are compact in size, yield more, taste great and feature unique colors and shapes,” said John Marchese of Seminis Home Garden seed.

To help you get started, consider these tips from experts at the University of Illinois Extension: Choosing a Container • Anything that holds soil and has drainage holes in the bottom may be transformed into a container garden for terrestrial plants.

• For vibrant plant growth, the containers must provide adequate space for roots and soil media, allowing the plant to thrive.

Soil • Soils for containers need to be well aerated and well drained while still being able to retain enough moisture for plant growth.

• Never use garden soil by itself for container gardening, no matter how good it looks or how well things grow in it outside.

• Containers often use soilless or artificial media that contain no soil at all.

• When these mixes are used, they should be moistened slightly before planting. Fill a tub with the media, add water and lightly fluff the media to dampen it.

• When filling containers with media, don’t fill the pot to the top.

Leave about a one-inch space between the top of the soil and rim of the pot.

Fertilizer • A regular fertilizer program is needed to keep plants growing well and attractively all season.

• The choice of fertilizer analysis will depend on the kinds of plants you grow. High-nitrogen sources would be good for plants grown for their foliage while flowering and vegetable crops would generally prefer lower-nitrogen and higher-phosphorous fertilizer types.

Choosing Plants For Your Container Garden • Plants that thrive in like soil, watering and light conditions make successful combinations. When combining plants, size, texture, proportion, color, setting and lighting all play a role.

Caring For Your Vegetables • Containers offer the advantage of being portable. As the seasons, temperature and light conditions change, you can move your containers so they enjoy the best conditions for peak performance.

• Most fruit-bearing vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squashes and eggplant require full sun.

• Leafy vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage and spinach can tolerate more shady locations, unlike root vegetables such as radishes, carrots and onions.

• There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to watering. You have to watch your containers and understand how much moisture each plant needs. Feel the soil—if the first inch or so is dry, add water until it starts to drip out of the drainage holes.

Special Seeds “Just because they are using a smaller space to grow the plant doesn’t mean the fruit has to be small, too,” Marchese explained.

“For example, if container gardeners are looking for a compact plant that produces large and tasty tomatoes, they should try a new hybrid tomato variety called Debut.”

Container gardeners don’t have to sacrifice flavor for a more conveniently grown plant either. “Husky Red is a medium-sized tomato hybrid that has great flavor. We have also developed a cherry tomato hybrid version called Husky Cherry Red that has the potential to set lots of sweet, flavorful fruit,” added Marchese.

Other compact hybrid tomato varieties include Patio, which produces about a 4-ounce tomato, and a saladette tomato variety called Yaqui that produces large-sized fruit.

(NAPS)—Nobody wants to spend more time cleaning their kitchen than they need to. So what’s the secret to creating a carefree kitchen? Choosing durable kitchen products that are easy to use and nearly maintenance free.

Fortunately, modern materials and ingenuity mean many kitchen items and surfaces are a lot easier to keep in top shape than they used to be. For example: • Resin-coated stainless steel knives are now available, making them dishwasher safe.

• When you get down to it, ceramic tiles and flooring do not require special cleaners or seal­ants to maintain and can come in a wide range of looks, from wood to marble.

• Another idea is to get a glass-coated stainless steel oven— they’re fingerprint free and easy to keep clean.

• When selecting a faucet, look for faucets from companies like Blanco, with long-lasting ceramic disk cartridges that are easy to replace and work for years to keep the faucet from leaking.

• As for the kitchen sink, select one that can resist dropping a pot of boiling water in it without worrying about chipping, scratching, staining or denting.

Made to deal with life’s messy realities, Silgranit II by Blanco offers affordable and stylish options in eight fashion colors. It features an ultradurable and cleanable surface of 80 percent rockhard granite that resists scratches, stains and heat. It is resistant to food acids and alkalis, easy to maintain, colored all the way through and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Because it’s so easy to clean and maintain, you can even re­ duce your use of harsh cleaning chemicals that can harm pets, kids and the environment.

Looking for more ways to live healthier? Consider implementing these tips into your kitchen habits: 1. “Look for cleaners that don’t contain chlorine or ammonia,” suggests Sonya Lunder, MPH, a se­nior researcher with Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit orga­nization that re­searches environmental issues. “Choose those that say ‘petroleum-free,’ ‘biodegradable’ or ‘phosphate-free’ instead.”

2. Choose the right pan: According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, using a six-inch pan on an eightinch burner can waste more than 40 percent of the burner’s heat.

Also, consider reducing use of Teflon-coated pans, which can emit chemicals when heated.

3. Be cool, clean your fridge: For maximum efficiency, clean the coils twice a year and be sure the gaskets are in good condition.

4. Be bright: Use compact fluorescent or LED lighting. They last longer and use less electricity than standard bulbs.

5. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Consider composting, too. Blanco offers the SOLON built-in compost system that makes it easy and saves valuable counter space. Silgranit II sinks include HYGIENIC+PLUS™, a patented formula that is a shield against dirt and bacteria. Independent laboratory tests confirm that the unique built-in hygiene protection reduces bacterial growth by an average of 98 percent.

Open Houses Benefit Buyers And Sellers (NAPS)—The next time you’re thinking about buying or selling a house, you might want to open your mind to the benefits of an open house.

What Buyers Should Do Buyers should make the most of each open house they visit and remember to keep an open mind. Here are some tips for visiting open houses: • C h e c k everything in the house including appliances, the size of closets, storage areas and the views from the windows.

• Walk around the property and check such things as the brick and mortar and siding.

• Drive around the neighborhood and get a feel for the area.

• Talk to the Realtor® hosting the open house and pick his or her brain about the condition of the home, recent upgrades and the neighborhood.

What Sellers Should Do As a seller, an open house is about putting your home’s best foot forward. Here are some tips for a successful open house: • Declutter and clean the house.

• Replace burnt-out lightbulbs and wash the windows.

• Mow the front lawn and clean the walkway.

• Fix maintenance issues such as dings in walls or leaky faucets.

Two More Things To Consider 1. Last year, 45 percent of all buyers used an open house as a resource in their home search process, according to the National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Open houses are a A Branch of First Neodesha Bank way for buyers to get an idea of what they can afford and what is available in their market. For www.fnb-ks.com sellers, it’s a chance to market the home and attract potential buyers.

2.

Whether you are location inside Wal-Mart buying or selling, working with a Realtor® is key. Some 89 percent of buyers purchase their homes through a real estate agent. Only 9 percent of sellers sold their home without assistance from an agent.

Realtors® have invaluable in­sights into what sells a home and are the most trusted resource for real estate information. They know what buyers value in their local markets. They can help sellers protect their investment and buyers build theirs.

Fill Your House With The Beauty Of Affordable Art (NAPS)—Giving your home more personality and treating yourself and your family to the delights of custom art can be easier and more affordable than you may think.

To help, here are some tips: • Remember, when you hang an artwork, the center point of the picture or group of pictures should be at about eye level for the aver- age person.

• In general, it’s wise to use smaller pictures, photos or paintings for narrow walls and larger pieces for bigger wall spaces.

• If you are going to hang a piece of art over furniture, re­member that the artwork should not be longer than the furniture is wide. Some say that about 75 percent of the width of the furniture is a useful target when it comes to the length of the art.

• Many decorators believe that it’s wise to display art in a way that groups three “like”

March/April, 2013

items together. Maybe your arrangement will group three pieces by the same artist, or three pieces that have the same subject matter or are similarly framed.

Whatever grouping you decide on, make sure your wall decor matches your personality. The good news is that selecting the right art for your home is getting easier thanks to a website that helps people find the art they love, so they can love their space more. The site, Art.com, offers original content, curated collections and advice.

• For example, its Photos-to- Art service lets users turn their own photos into personalized artwork. Simply upload customized photos and choose the type of artwork you want, including largescale artistic canvas, wood mounting, photographic poster prints and customframed pieces. As an extension to this service, Art.com recently launched a mobile iPhone app that allows users to upload

customized photos from their phone camera or Instagram.

• Art.com also helps you to select handpicked art that reflects current design trends for every aesthetic—from Modern Rustic to High Drama to Modern Man Cave, among others.

• Users can browse more than 1.5 million images by artist, by subject or by collection.

• ArtCircles, Art.com’s app for iPad, takes you through the world’s most inspiring art collection as seen through the eyes of various curators. You can tag your favorites, create your own collection, share it with your social networks and even view the artworks in your own space by holding the iPad up to your wall. Once you’ve found the right art for your space, you can buy it directly from your iPad. To view the collection and for more information, visit the website at www.Art. com.

An Anti-Aging Regimen For Your House

(NAPS)—Maintaining a “youthful” home through preventative maintenance can save you money in costly repairs and preserve its overall value.

So where’s the best place to start? Here are some ideas: • Regular checkups are key. Get out your binoculars and look for shingles that are buckled, curled, blistered or missing an excessive amount of granules. If left unrepaired, these damaged shingles could result in leaks into your attic and further into your house, resulting in mold and rot. Get a roofing contractor to check that your roof is in good condition.

• Protect against fading and stains. New exterior building materials used in siding, fence and decking products can help maintain a long-lasting, vibrant appearance. Available in many outstanding, vibrant colors, EverNew cellular PVC and composite decking from CertainTeed is backed by a 25-year Stain-and-Fade Resistance warranty, ensuring a dynamic outdoor oasis for many years to come.

• Use impact-resistant shingles for a healthy roof. They help provide a more durable, stronger roof to protect your home from hail, falling debris and high winds. For example, Landmark Solaris IR meets the industry’s highest standards for impact resistance. In addition, it repels the sun’s rays and lowers the surface temperature of a roof by up to 20 degrees during warm months.

• Choose durable siding materials. One, Cedar Impressions siding, is molded from real cedar shingles and designed and tested to withstand hurricane-force winds. The siding is also virtually maintenance free, never needs painting and is backed with a lifetime-limited warranty.

• Address problem spots. If not properly insulated, an attic can be a huge drain on your monthly energy bill and compromise the overall comfort of your home. Online tools, such as www.certainteed. com/itools, can help guide you through the process of ensuring your home has proper insulation.

Keep these tips in mind and you may find that your home can provide you and your family more comfort at less cost.

Save 10,000 Gallons in 10 Minutes

(NAPSA)—Did you know that easy-to-fix household leaks could waste at least 10,000 gallons of water per year (and 10 percent of your water bill)? Join thousands of Americans all over the country this week in taking just 10 minutes to check for household water leaks.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program, in the span of two television commercial breaks, you could save more than 10,000 gallons of water, which is equivalent to the water used to wash 10 months’ worth of laundry.

Finding leaks is easy. To get started, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank to check for silent toilet leaks. Wait 10 minutes before flushing; if color shows up in the bowl, you probably need a new toilet flapper—an easy repair.

While you wait, check your other plumbing fixtures for drips—they may seem small, but all those drops really add up. Next, check your winter water bills. Most families of four use 12,000 gallons of water per month or less in winter. If your bill is showing something higher, you could have a serious leak— inside or out.

Finally, step outside and in­spect your garden hoses. Are they damaged or cracked from winter’s frost? If you have an inground irrigation system, an irrigation professional certified through a WaterSense labeled program can check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads.

See www.epa.gov/watersense for more information about Fix a Leak Week and a list of certified irrigation partners in your community.
