Save on Your Electric Bill With Solar Garden Lights

Today is the first day of spring and makes me want to be outside more. Our home is very secluded and "off-road". One outdoor spring project we plan is to install solar powered path lights on our walkways.
Solar lighting has gone through a lot of changes in the past few years. They are more advanced and attractive. The quality is also higher. So - it's time to consider using solar garden and path lighting!
In today's economy, we need to save money wherever we can. Solar lighting will cause a reduction in your electric bill. They are also safer than electrical lighting and easy to install.

So, go play in the yard! Beautify your yard while saving on electricity, with low maintenance affordable solar powered garden lights.



Have a great weekend!

Thrifty & Frugal Gardening

Gardening and landscaping can add value to your home, curb appeal, and work as a great stress reliever. It can also be expensive - unless you follow some thrfty guidelines!

Like all budgeting tasks, it takes organization and planning. You can have a perfectly landscaped yard and a garden full of vegetables that you can place on your table at a low cost.

1. Learn the basics. Use your local library, internet, and the local nursery.
2. Keep it fun. Don't go overboard and create a flower or vegetable garden that will take all your free time. Start with a small spot in your yard and make it a pleasure - not a chore.
3. Save - Don't Spend. For vegetable gardens, you should harvest more in savings than your spend in making the garden. Again, this requires proper planning.
4. In your yard, use plants that serve more than one purpose such as shrubs that are green all year and flower sometime during the year or trees that show off early spring blossoms and provide shade during the summer.
5. Grow flowers that seed themselves such as poppies, violas, sweet peas, sweet alyssum, and larkspur.
