Fall Lawn Care Tips

Taking time in the fall to prepare your lawn for the colder months ahead will pay dividends come spring and allow you to enjoy lusher, greener grass when temperatures rise again.

Fertilizing Providing nutrients to your lawn before cold weather strikes is good for strengthening roots and increasing the nutrients stored for an earlier spring green. While the top growth of grass stops, grass plants are storing nutrients and energy for the following season.

To determine the best ratio of fertilizer for the soil in your yard, you should utilize a soil test. Otherwise, look for fertilizer with a nitrogen-phosphatepotassium (NPK) ratio of 3:1:2 or 4:1:2.

When applying the fertilizer, make sure that you follow the application instructions and rate information on the package and use a calibrated spreader to apply the correct amount. It is also a good rule to apply the fertilizer in the fall about 2-3 weeks before the ground freezes so the plant can start to take up some of the nutrients.

Instead of pacing the yard with a push spreader, consider a tow-behind spreader attached to your riding lawn mower or garden tractor. An attachment, such as a pull-type spin spreader from John Deere, can quickly distribute fertilizer evenly across your yard.

Mulching If you prefer not to rake or bag grass or leaves, mulching with a mower is an ideal alternative. Be sure to mulch leaves only when they are dry to avoid damp and wet leaves clumping or building up under mower decks.

Remember that grass needs sunlight in the fall to help store food for winter, so don’t wait until your lawn is completely matted down with leaves to mulch. A thin layer of mulched leaves is ideal and helps add nutrients to the soil, reducing the need for fertilizer.

Selecting the right mower with mulching attachments or features can save a great deal of time and help ensure a consistent layer of mulch across the yard.

For example, John Deere 100-Series lawn tractors have three-in-one mowing decks, which allow you to choose to mulch, bag or allow side-discharge.

Composting Creating a compost pile allows you to turn organic material into rich soil. The fall season is a good time to create a compost pile with decaying yard matter, such as vegetables, grass clippings and leaves, which can provide nutrient-rich soil for spring planting. For best results, alternate layers of “brown,” or high carbon materials, with grass clippings.

Using a rear bagger with your lawn mower or tractor will help make collecting grass clippings a breeze, and adding to your compost pile is as simple as backing up to the spot and unloading.

Another optional mower attachment, the lawn sweeper, brushes leaves into a hamper, much like a broom and dustpan.

Using exterior caulk and insulation to seal cracks and openings in the homes exterior can save you a small fortune on heating. They work by stopping outside air from seeping in and by keeping heat from escaping.

If you're in the mood to fight spiraling energy costs, begin by doing a walk-around inspection of your home exterior. Keep an eye open for cracks, gaps, or holes - especially where different surfaces meet, or where pipes, vents, or wiring penetrate the walls.

Also look for areas where your old caulk may have cracked or pulled away from the surface.

If the old caulk is damaged, remove it with a scraper or putty knife. Clean the adjacent surfaces, sand them smooth, and spot prime if any bare wood shows. This will help your caulk adhere properly to create a weather-tight seal. When applying new caulk, select a top quality product - either a water-based all-acrylic or siliconized acrylic caulk (similarly named "silicone" caulks cannot be painted, so they'll be more visible on your home exterior).

With a loaded caulk gun in hand, work your way around the house, filling every gap or seam with a generous bead of caulk. Immediately after applying the caulk, "tool" it by running a wet finger over the full length of the bead, using a slight amount of pressure. This will ensure that the caulk fills the entire gap and makes good contact with the adjacent surfaces.

Openings that are too large to caulk - typically spaces more than 1/4 " wide - should be filled with a polyurethane foam insulation product. Unlike caulk, which shrinks slightly as it dries, some types of polyurethane foam actually expand after being applied.

Do one final walk-around to make sure you haven't missed anything. When winter comes, you'll be happy you put in the time to weatherproof your home. For more info on caulking, paints and coatings, visit paintquality.com. (HIT) www.Life and Homes .com

Home Weatherization Tips

October

Aerating Aerating, the process of removing plugs of soil and thatch from the lawn, is ideal in cooler months. It encourages deep rooting, improves water and nutrient penetration, and promotes growth of beneficial soil microorganisms. There are a variety of techniques you can use to penetrate the soil such as spiked shoes or spray-on liquids, but to most effectively aerate soil, attach a dethatcher, or a plug aerator behind a riding mower or tractor to remove plugs of soil from two to three inches deep.

Homebuyers,

Beware Before Buying For many, finding and buying the right home is still a big part of the American dream.However, that dream home can turn into a nightmare when hidden costs from weather and other types of damage start adding up.

It’s not uncommon for consumers to find out about these hidden costs rather late in the process.

That’s because until now, buyers had to wait until just before closing to receive a “seller’s disclosure.”

This is a document that reveals details about the house the buyers plan to purchase. At that point, it’s likely that a prospective buyer has already paid thousands of dollars for legal fees, inspections, deposits and title fees and may be reluctant to back out of the deal.

Fortunately, there is a resource that buyers can call on earlier in the process. Real estate tycoon and “Shark Tank” host Barbara Corcoran suggests going online to find property history and insurance claims on a home. An Insurance Claims report can give homebuyers and Realtors information that was previously only available to homeowners.

For instance, a company called Housefax offers online reports that provide a comprehensive history of a home, including building permits; mortgage information; insurance claims; fire, flood, hail and catastrophic history; and other residential property details.The reports also include information

For more information, contact Housefax at www.housefax.com. (NAPSI)

Portable Generator Safety Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electric power is needed, but if used incorrectly, they can cause harm to you and your family.

Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that is tasteless, colorless and odorless. Careful consideration should be taken while operating portable generators or carbon monoxide poisoning can become a deadly risk.

To minimize tragedies associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, the experts at the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association offer these tips for the safe operation of portable generators: Do not run portable generators inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds or other partially-enclosed spaces, even if using fans or opening doors and windows. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up and linger for hours in these places, even after the generator has been turned off.

Only operate a portable generator outside, far away from windows, doors and vents, to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas accumulating and potentially being drawn toward occupied spaces.

Always place your portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.

The symptoms of low-level carbon monoxide poisoning can be similar to those caused by other illness such as cold, flu or food poisoning. If you suspect you or a family member are experiencing any of these symptoms due to carbon monoxide poisoning, get outside to fresh air immediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention.

For more information about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and ways to prevent unnecessary deaths, visit www.pgmaonline.com.

DIY Projects To Help You Whip Winter The leaves are starting to fall off the trees, the birds are flying south and you can feel the temperature dropping. Winter is on its way and while squirrels pack away food before the first snow fall, you'll be relieved to know that you still have time to finish some projects listed below to get your home ready for winter. * Tackle the yard. Your yard will fall into dormancy during the winter, but a little prep now can help your green space bounce back in the spring.

Fertilize your lawn using a lawn spreader from your local rental store to turn this all-day chore into a task that takes just a couple of hours. And don't waste the rest of your day raking the yard; instead, rent a leaf blower to finish this task in a fraction of the time. * Seal the gaps. Find the places where cold air sneaks into your home and you will drastically reduce your heating bills throughout winter. Feel along your windows and doors for any drafts. Seal larger cracks with caulk and cover your windows

in plastic wrap for comprehensive protection. If you have a real chimney, don't forget to close the damper to prevent cold air from billowing down the chimney. * Clean the carpets. The winter season can be hard on your carpets as snow, salt and dirt get tracked in from outside. Cleaning them before winter begins puts them in the best possible shape for the colder months ahead. You may think you need to hire professional carpet cleaners, but you can actually handle this project yourself by renting a carpet cleaner to conquer the task. You can visit RentalHQ.com to find your local rental store and for tips on renting a carpet cleaner. * Protect pipes from freezing. A ruptured pipe can ruin your home and everything in it. Ruptured pipes occur during winter when the pipes freeze and the frozen water inside expands. You can protect against this by never letting your home's temperature fall below 65 degrees. Wrap pipes running along the exterior walls in heat tape, and

be sure to check on your pipes on those bitterly cold nights. * Empty the gutters. If left unchecked, falling leaves and other debris will clog your gutters and downspouts, which can cause ice dams in the winter. Start by trimming or removing trees and hedges near the gutters. If you lack the tools to complete this project, you can rent a brush cutter, tree trimmer or ladder to do the job. Once obstructions have been removed, clear the gutters to prevent a future home disaster.

These simple steps will help you winterize your home so you can enjoy a happy, hazard-free holiday season. To learn more winterizing tips and to find rental stores in your area, visit RentalHQ.com. (BPT)

What is a fee only Fina ncia l Pla nner a nd Why Should I ca re?

Answer:

Your Fiduciary: As a registered Investment Advisor Firm, it is required of us to always act as our clients fiduciary. this means always putting our clients best interests first. this is in contrast to that of a broker/Dealer relationship, as broker/Dealers are only required to make “suitable” recommendations versus always being required to make recommendations that are in your best interest.

Transparent: registered Investment Advisor Firms are required to always fully disclose all fees and potential conflicts of interest to you, the client. our clients know exactly how much they pay for our services in a clearly spelled out written agreement – again in stark contrast to traditional broker/Dealer representative requirements on transparancy.

Fee Only: As a registered Investment Advisor Firm, we are compensated from fully disclosed fees, and accept no commissions or any other forms of third party compensation, thus eliminating any conflicts of interest. Again, as a registered Investment Advisor Firm, we are always required to act in your best interest, and we can think of no better way than by refusing commissions and third party incentives for recommendations we make that create conflicts of interest.

In addition to all of the above, we are:

Syracuse, NY

Independent – We work for our clients, rather than representing a specific bank, investment or insurance company. We have no sales quotas, contests and accept no compensation from third parties, therefore we can offer our clients many, many more investment options at a much lower cost.

Are you ready to experience the fee-only difference?

We are never paid commissions or referral fees, We do not sell products (Loaded Mutual Funds or ”other products”).

You pay for our objective, unbiased advice and expertise, which aligns your goals with our goals – to grow your wealth.

Make the Big Move Less Stressful For the 4-Legged Members of the Family When moving houses, you make a checklist of the utility companies you need to contact for stopping and starting services. You also schedule all the volunteer or professional movers to pack, transport and unpack your belongings, and you let all your friends and family members know your new address. Additionally, you need to remember to make plans for your special family members, too - your pets.

Pets add an extra element to a move, but it doesn't have to be stressful for you or your pet. Here are some tips from Penske Truck Rental to help you plan your move successfully with your pet in mind.

Microchipping - The Humane Society recommends all pet owners microchip their cats and dogs, especially before planning a move. It doesn't matter how long the distance, an animal can easily get confused in the chaos of the move and then become lost. If this were to happen, be sure to connect with animal shelters and veterinarian offices in the town where your former home is located, as well as the area where your pet slipped away.

Name tags - Update your cat or dog's collar with its name, your new home information, and a phone number that will stay active even after the moving period.

Food and medications - Don't pack your dog's or cat's food and medications until you are ready to get into the car to make the move. Be sure to also have at least an extra week of both in supply, just 7905 Hall Rd, travels. Put in case you experience delays in your Cleveland, NY 13042 all the materials into a travel bag on top of other 315.427.9415 (F) 315.675.9269 luggage so it is handy. www.oneidalakerealty.net

Practice travels - If you've never traveled with your pet prior to the move, start taking it on short rides.

You may discover your cat gets motion sickness, or that your dog prefers to ride with a training harness, rather than inside a crate. Knowing your pet's preferences can help you work with your vet to determine whether any medications are needed. If you don't have the equipment needed to help your pet travel safely, Penske Truck Rental partners with Kurgo, and customers can receive 30 percent off all dog travel products with the code PENSKE30 at Kurgostore.com.

Make a list of emergency vet clinics in towns along your route so you have information in case you need to make a sudden stop for your pet.

On moving day, be sure to keep your pet in your personal car or in the cab of the moving truck.

Never put a pet in the back of a Penske truck, because it could become injured or sick. Have plenty of food and water available, and consider not feeding your pet for a couple of hours before you depart to avoid an upset stomach.

While packing the moving truck, keep your pet in a small room in the house so it doesn't become

During rest stops along your route, be sure to keep your pet leashed or in a crate, and keep it in a well-ventilated area. Schedule these rest stops every two hours. Trucks and cars can get dangerously hot very quickly in the summer, so don't leave your pet in a closed vehicle without air conditioning for any amount of time.

Upon arrival at your new home, put your pet in a small room while the unpacking happens. Once the truck is unloaded, you can let your pet out to explore your new home together. Also, check with local ordinances on required licensing for your pet. Keep your pet's vet records handy in case you need to show documented proof of vaccination.

While the new home will look and feel different, the familiar smells of your belongings will help it adjust quickly. And in no time at all, you'll be moved in and it will feel just like home. (BPT) -

overwhelmed by the commotion. A bathroom or closet works well. Put a note on the door advising your friends or professional movers to not open the door for the protection of your pet.
