Some things are just too important to overlook. Regularly checking your credit score is one of them. Think we’re exaggerating? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says one report in twenty is so inaccurate, it could reduce your credit score by up to 25 points. 25 points might sound insignificant, but it could easily kick you into a higher loan rate bracket or cause you to be totally disqualified altogether for a loan.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. You could order your reports from each of the these companies at the same time, or as some financial advisors suggest, get one report from a different company every four months so you can continually check your credit standing for a whole year at no cost.

For your free report call 1-877-322-8228 or go to www.annualcreditreport.com, the only website authorized to fill orders for the free annual credit report you are entitled to under law. Other websites offering “free credit reports,” “free credit scores,” or “free credit monitoring” are not part of the legally mandated program and may attempt to sell you something or collect personal information. Visit www.consumer.ftc.gov to learn how to report any incorrect information on your report.

Your credit report contains information that affects whether you get a loan and how much you will have to pay to borrow money. Creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses that use the information in your report to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, em­ployment, or renting a home are among those that have legal access to your report. That’s why it’s essential that you monitor your credit regularly, even if you always pay all your bills on time.

How To Move Your

Technology Items You’ve invested a lot of money in your technology and now it’s time to move them to your new home. It’s important to have your household possessions packed correctly.

That includes items such as computers, game consoles and others delicate technology. Humboldt Storage and Moving of Boston has come up with several tips to help ease the stress of packing and moving household technology items.

One of the first rules to follow when preparing your technology for transport is to power down the items 24 hours in advance. Allowing proper time for the internal components to cool will minimize any risk of damage.

When packing items such as flat screen televisions, the best and most affordable way to pack them is using the original box. If that is not available, many moving companies will offer a special corrugated box for transporting. If extra care is needed, consider having the moving company build a special crate for these delicate items.

Many moving companies will offer these special services for valuable household goods. It’s also best to have those crated items unpacked by professional movers to ensure they remain in good condition.

Moving can be stressful but by taking the proper precautions with personal technology and items that can contain personal data, these can be one less thing to worry about during a move and cause less stress in the long run. www.humboldt.com

‘Cleaning Green’ With Vinegar With the array of cleaning options at the grocery store, it is easy to forget that the most natural and effective cleaner could be sitting in your cabinet at this very moment.

Vinegar is an all-in-one cleaner. It can take on most any cleaning challenge, no matter the size, and there’s no need to worry about harmful effects typically associated with harsh, chemical cleaning agents. Budget conscious and eco friendly, vinegar is truly a product with many talents.

Live Green With White Vinegar An online survey conducted by The Vinegar Institute found that cleaning/disinfecting are the second most popular uses for white distilled vinegar next to food preparation uses. Here are a few hints on how to utilize the cleaning power of vinegar in your home:

If there are home computers and they contain valuable and irreplaceable data, consider moving them in the car to ensure they stay safe. Moving computers can be done by the moving company but personal computers can also be subject to rough road conditions in a moving van. Also, it is recommended that any personal technology such as tablets including I-Pads and Kindles remain with the person.

• Use full-strength vinegar to banish grease and eliminate mildew.

Technology such as game consoles for the kids can be safely packed in the moving van. These consoles are made to withstand a little bumping around and in most cases, it will not hurt the components if they get moved around during transportation.

• Dilute with ammonia and baking soda to freshen a musty closet.

• Dilute with water to remove grease and grime on miniblinds.

• Use full strength to clean chrome fixtures and whiten grout.

• Dilute with water to brighten brickwork.

• Mix with salt and baking soda to unclog drains.

• Dilute with water to deodorize the garbage disposal.

• Spray full strength to get rid of unwanted grass and weeds.

• Use full strength to remove your child’s ballpoint pen “art” from painted walls.

• Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons white vinegar to a 1-quart vase of water to keep flowers fresh longer.

• Mix white distilled vinegar and linseed oil to clean leather. Rub the mixture into the leather and then polish with a soft cloth.

This information comes from the professionals at The Vinegar Institute, an international trade association representing the vast majority of vinegar manufacturers and bottlers, as well as suppliers to the industry. For further information, visit www.versatilevinegar.org. (NAPSI)

Smart Ways To Save For the most enjoyment at the least expense when shopping in stores and online, try these tips: • Compare in-store and online pricing from multiple retailers by downloading a bar code scanner app to your smartphone.

• Check tech items. “Special buys” may have model numbers that cannot be found elsewhere because the products only resemble other products by that manufacturer.

• Make a list with clothing sizes, products and model numbers. Carry it with you and whenever you see a bargain on something that suits someone on the list, you can make the purchase.

• Shop with a friend, whether in stores or online, to get more done in less time—and help you line up and avoid impulse purchases.

• Research products and compare prices with the help of deal sites such as BuyVia, Groupon and eBay, which will highlight sales as well as the best pricing for products all year long.

Ten Common Myths About Lawn Care

Dispelled

It’s the time of year when homeowners turn to the care and upkeep of their lawns with the goal of seeing their yard and landscape flourish.

It’s also the time of year when landscape professionals must address some common misperceptions about when and how to tend to the lawn for maximum success. PLANET, a national landscape industry association, asked its professional landscape members to name the 10 most common lawn care myths: Myth: The best time to replace the lawn is in the spring, as plants get ready to bloom.

Reality: Sowing seed in the spring sets one up for potential problems, as heat sets in during the summer months and weeds compete for space.

The best time to sow seed is in the fall when the temperatures are more consistent and highly competitive weeds, like crabgrass, have gone dormant.

newsShorts the turfgrass plant. The brown on the surface at the beginning of the spring will slowly recede into the background all by itself as new leaves emerge.

While dethatching is a common and sometimes necessary practice, it should be done only when thatch is excessive.

Myth: It’s a good idea to remove clippings after mowing.

Reality: There is a misconception that grass clippings contribute significantly to thatch. Grass clippings are mostly water and decompose rapidly, returning significant amounts of fertilizer to the lawn. Research shows that up to one-third of applied fertilizer can be recycled by simply returning clippings.

Myth: Golf courses cut their grass short, so it’s a good idea to do the same.

Reality: Golf courses use incredibly sophisticated and expensive mowers to achieve a short height of cut. Check the appropriate mowing height for your species of grass, but in general, never cut more than one-third of the grass leaf at a time.

Myth: Water new plants every day to prevent them from drying out.

Reality: Overwatering kills as many plants as lack of water. It is better to make sure you are wetting the entire root system of your new plant and then allow the soil to dry to the point that it is only moist.

Myth: Lawns are not “organic.”

Reality: Sometimes, lawns are thought of as areas that don’t provide environmental benefits.

However, they are actually highly complex and dynamic organic systems that not only contain turfgrasses, but also earthworms, fungi, soil microbes and other life forms that coexist and make possible the lawns we all enjoy for recreation, sports and aesthetics.

Myth: To have a healthy lawn, dethatch in the spring.

Reality: Thatch is a layer of living and dead plant material, including the crown, roots and stems of

Myth: The best time to fertilize your lawn is in early spring.

Reality: Different varieties of grass like nutrients at

different times of the year. You need to use the right fertilizer source, at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place. Cool-season grasses, like Kentucky bluegrass, are usually given nutrients in fall and early spring when it is cooler.

Warm-season grasses, like Bermuda grass, usually like nutrients in late spring and early fall when it is warmer.

Myth: The products lawn care companies use are dangerous and more powerful than what a homeowner can use.

Reality: Most of the products professionals use can be purchased at the garden center, but the difference is that professionals are regulated and, by law, have to use the proper amounts, apply them correctly and dispose of them properly.

Myth: While digging in my lawn, I saw a grub worm.

I should apply a grub control application every year.

Reality: Most of the time, grubs don’t attack fescue lawns because of their deeper root zone.

Grubs in small numbers are not harmful to a lawn; in fact, they are beneficial, as they aerate the soil. It’s having too many that can be harmful.

Call a professional to evaluate your lawn.

Myth:Watering the lawn with the garden hose saves more money than installing an irrigation system.

Reality: Consider installing an irrigation system that uses smart controllers which have sensors that only allow for watering when conditions require it. Smart irrigation can offer a cost savings of approximately 15–20 percent on water bills.

Convert irrigation spray nozzles from sprinklers to rotating nozzles which spread heavy droplets of water at a slower pace which makes them more targeted and effective.
