Succulent plants have thick, fleshy leaves that store water. Their water storage capabilities make them well suited to a low-maintenance indoor garden since they require minimal irrigation and care to thrive. Succulents come in many varieties with different leaf shapes and colors. Some types produce attractive flowers while others are primarily grown for their foliage. Planting small varieties, such as crassula or echeveria, in a small dish garden allows you to enjoy several of these attractive plants in a small space.
Ticks can be a minor nuisance at best; at worst, they can transmit potentially serious medical conditions such as babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and lyme disease. Therefore, if you discover a tick infestation in your lawn, it is vital to the health and safety of you, your family and your pets to remove it at once.
The longer you own a lawnmower, the more wear and tear it will experience. Maybe the lawnmower takes a few extra seconds to start that it never needed before, or maybe it stalls every once in a while. You can actually factor in wear and tear and find out what percentage of the original value of the mower you've lost over time using a specific mathematical calculation.
Weed whackers are used to trim areas of your lawn that your lawn mover can't get to, or to edge around driveways, sidewalks or flower beds. Weed whackers add a finishing touch to a well-manicured lawn and garden.
