A little work in the fall can prepare your yard for spring.

Tips for fall lawn care (BPT) - Falling temperatures and shorter days don’t mean you can retire from lawn care for the year. In fact, the fall season is a critical time to nourish lawns and care for plants so they can survive winter and emerge even more vibrant when next spring arrives.

Before you store your lawn and garden supplies, consider these fall lawn tips that keep your yard looking great year-round: Fertilize Your lawn may not look like it’s doing much above ground during cool months, but below ground root systems continue to grow. That’s why most lawn care professionals recommend fertilizing once or twice in the fall - grass will store and use the extra boost of nutrients throughout winter.

Fertilizers high in nitrogen are ideal for fall feedings.

Sweep Leaves and other foliage left on the ground can rot and deprive grass and other plants of moisture and sunlight.

If you dread raking, a blower/vac is the ideal tool. Go eco-friendly with a rechargeable battery-powered option from Greenworks. With no cords and an easy push start, the innovative 40V Brushless Blower/ Vacuum blows up to 185 mph, plus it can vacuum four bags of

leaves on a single charge.

Water Watering during fall is important to foster root growth and give plants a healthy drink before winter arrives. If you’re not experiencing at least 1 inch of rainfall a week, supplement with a sprinkler. Continue the same eco-friendly watering strategies you used throughout summer, such as watering in the mornings to reduce evaporation.

Seed Have a few sparse areas in your yard? Fall is a great season for grass seed to germinate due to the cool, moist weather. Plus, because most seasonal birds have left, the seed is less vulnerable to being eaten. Over-seeding now not only fills in open areas, but it increases grass density to help prevent weeds next year. Loosen and prepare the soil, choose a high quality grass seed and water the area plenty so seeds reach maturity before winter.

Trim Fall is a good time to trim trees and shrubbery before the harsh weather of winter hits. Save money with the DIY approach.

Don’t be intimidated by chainsaws - because the easy-to-use GreenWorks 40V Brushless Chain Saw uses a rechargeable battery, there’s no gas or oil to mix. No gas means no excessive heat or vibration - the saw runs

up to 65 percent cooler and vibrates up to 70 percent less than comparable gas saws.

In addition, the innovative brushless motor provides this saw with enough power to cut a cord of wood on a single battery charge.

Aerate Aerating your lawn in the fall helps to open compacted soil and break down thatch that built up over the summer. The small soil plugs removed by the aerator loosen the ground so oxygen and water can better reach the grass roots. Aerators are available for rent at most rental stores and the job can typically be done in a few hours, depending on yard size.

Mow As the weather cools, grass slowly goes dormant. Before winter hits, continue to mow as needed. When your lawn seems to have almost completely slowed its growth rate, mow one final time for the year, but set your mower at a higher height. This helps keep grass healthy until warm weather returns. Recommended mower heights for a final mow are 2 to 2.5 inches.

Rather than retreating from the crisp fall air, use the time to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature while helping keep your yard looking its best. A few simple steps now will help your lawn look great today and into next year.

Amazing home accents less than $100 (BPT) - If you’re bored by your bathroom, you might think a total room remodel is the only way to make a difference. And, if you’re like most homeowners, you might not have the time, expertise or budget to tackle highprofile projects like replacing your flooring, vanity, tub or shower.

Luckily, in a small space like a bathroom, making tiny tweaks can make a big impact.

In fact, you can easily add style and functionality to your bath - without subtracting too much from your bank account. Here are a few simple ideas to refresh your bathroom that can be completed in just a few hours (or even minutes).

Under $25 - Conquer vanity insanity If your vanity is looking drab and tired, don’t replace it - refresh it in just a few simple steps.

• New knobs and pulls: Look for new knobs and drawer pulls that are designed to match your existing faucets and fixtures in both style and finish. Whether you prefer modern or something with a more traditional look, many options are available to extend your sense of design down to the details.

• A place for everything: Conquer even more countertop clutter by using a decorative tray or small basket to hold loose items.

From hair brushes to hand soap and lotion,

simply gathering items together can make the whole room look - and feel - more organized.

• Add a glass shelf: Another way to keep bathroom necessities close at hand is by installing a decorative glass shelf near your sink and vanity. Not only will it help to clear the clutter from your countertop, but it can also be a place to display small decorative touches like picture frames, flowers and reed diffusers.

Under $50 - Update with a new hue From the walls to the floor, you can transform your bathroom’s look with a new color scheme and these easy ideas.

• A fresh coat of paint: Try a soothing shade of blue to give your bathroom a relaxing, spa-like feel, or a more vibrant color, like yellow, will add energy and brightness.

• Towels and rugs: Add vibrant pops of color with accents in bright, new shades.

Look for thick, plush towels and soft, sumptuous rugs to stimulate your senses and add a luxurious look and feel.

• A new shower curtain: Complete your bathroom’s new color scheme with a quality fabric shower curtain to tie the whole look together. -For added style and sophistication, use two curtains and open in the middle, to mimic the look of a large window.

Under $75 - Create a sensational shower If you’re looking for cost-effective, easy ways to spruce up your shower, a few small upgrades are all it takes.

• Showerhead: Replace your old showerhead with the new Moen Halo Rainshower, which installs easily and delivers a truly luxurious shower experience with three spray settings and a unique pivoting outer ring for added coverage.

• Curved shower rod: Next, gain up to 5 inches of valuable elbow room by replacing your straight shower rod with a curved model. Not only will every shower be a little more comfortable, you’ll easily add sophistication and accentuate your new shower curtain.

• Shower shelf: A shower shelf is an ideal solution to keep soap, shampoo and sponges neatly organized and always close at hand.

Plus, you can increase your shower’s safety as well by choosing a shower shelf that incorporates a grab bar.

Under $100 - Add amazing accessories For complete coordination, Moen offers entire accessory suites, featuring towel bars, towel rings, robe hooks, paper holders, lighting and even toilet tank levers, that are designed to perfectly match the rest of your faucets and fixtures.

Tips on drought-proofing your yard (BPT) - The past few years have not been kind to lawns and gardens across the country.

The summer of 2012 brought severe drought to much of the Midwest and a good portion of the country continues to experience drought conditions.

Homeowners have two choices in dealing with drought: try to water enough to keep grass and plants alive and looking good, or implement long-term changes to make yards more resistant to extremely dry and hot spells.

Fighting drought can be time-consuming and expensive. With forecasters and scientists predicting warming temperatures and more extreme weather events as the new normal, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that droughts could become more common and severe in the future.

Making some changes to your approach to landscaping can keep you from worrying about your water bill and the well-being of your lawn when the weather isn’t quite cooperating.

Here are some ways to drought-proof your yard: • Choose your plants wisely. You may want to choose plants solely based on aesthetics, but picking plants that thrive with less water is the key to keep your yard looking good no matter the conditions. Talk with the experts at your garden center about which types of plants make the most sense for your climate, and which ones might be a little more drought-resistant than others.

• Go easy on the grass. For some it’s hard to imagine a picturesque yard without a lush and expansive yard. But the truth is, a green lawn usually requires a lot of water to maintain. The Southern Nevada Water Authority estimates that every square foot of natural grass replaced with less water-dependent alternatives saves 55 gallons of water per year. If you don’t want to part

ways with your lawn in favor of natural landscaping that’s more water-friendly, you have another option: synthetic turf.

Any sports fan would know that synthetic turf has come a long way over the years, and now looks more natural than ever.

Companies like Synthetic Turf International- (STI) specialize in providing synthetic turf for residential and commercial uses that looks and performs like natural grass that could save 99,000 gallons of water each year for an average lawn of 1,800 square feet. The SoftLawn product from STI requires virtually zero maintenance, can be easily maintained with a leaf blower and is made from 100 percent biodegradable or recyclable materials.

Considering the average homeowner spends 150 hours a year maintaining his lawn, you can save a lot of time and money by going synthetic. Examples of synthetic lawns can be found at www.synthetic-turf.com.

• Add mulch. Covering the soil around your plants with a layer of mulch or compost can help improve water retention, inhibit growth of water-hungry weeds and cool soil temperatures to keep your plants comfortable when temperatures rise. Natural mulches break down and are absorbed into your soil, which means there’s little maintenance besides adding a new layer when appropriate.

• Make your water work harder for you. No matter what you do to drought-proof your lawn, you’ll likely still have to do some watering. Drip irrigation systems can make your water go further by applying it directly to the root of plants. If you’re watering by hand, water in the morning when temperatures are cool, and apply water to the soil rather than directly to the plants. Installing a rain barrel is a great way to put the water that runs off your house to good use - and you can use that water even if watering restrictions are in effect.
