'Re-tiring' Old Mulching Routine Paves the Way to Ten Worry-Free Years
(ARA) - The yearly routine of digging up last year's mulch and replacing it with a fresh supply can be time consuming, messy and expensive. But one new product can put consumers on the road to a full decade of worry-free mulching -- and that road is paved with recycled rubber.Each year, millions of truck tires are recycled nationwide. The rubber from these tires does not rot, fade or break down, even after years of exposure to the elements. As a result, discarded tires are treaded treasures for Rubberific Mulch, which gives new life to old tires by turning them into one of the longest lasting and safest ground coverings on the market.
"Not only does Rubberific Mulch help the environment by recycling old tires that otherwise would languish in landfills, but it offers time- and cost-saving alternatives to traditional mulch," says Mike Miller, Rubberific Mulch president.
"It has the appearance of wood-based mulch, but with a unique durability that will last for ten years, with very little upkeep."To help consumers choose the type of mulch that is best for a lawn or garden, the experts at Rubberific Mulch suggest asking the following questions:
- Attractiveness -- Will the mulch look good in the front lawn or garden?
- Longevity and durability -- Does the mulch hold up for long periods of time, even through inclement weather?
- Protection -- Will the mulch protect and benefit the plants it surrounds?
Rubberific Mulch is available for purchase at select Lowe's home improvement centers throughout the Midwest.
It also can be ordered in a variety of custom colors at www.rubberificmulch.com, or by calling (866) 936-8524..
You Can Have a Mosquito Free Yard
In addition to the fact that mosquitoes are both annoying and cause some level of discomfort when you're unfortunate enough to be the entree on their daily menu, they also carry disease which can affect the animal, bird and human populations. In order to keep the possibility of such a fate to a minimum, you'll need to initiate steps to control these pests in the home environment.Water that accumulates in tires, buckets and other types of outdoor containers provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Your yard should be carefully inspected for any signs of pooled water that might attract these insects. It doesn't take much to entice mosquitoes to hang around, once they've found a swampy area that they can call home.Gutters should be checked on a regular basis, in order to avoid the accumulation of leaves and other objects that might form a blockage. When this happens, water can accumulate and offer the irresistible temptation for mosquitoes to breed.
This is especially true in those...

Did You Mount Your Cold Weather Tires Yet?
(NC)?Every year there is this dilemma: should you mount winter tires or should you stay with your all season tires? We always question is it going to snow a lot or is it just going to be cold and will our all- season tires be good enough. Well here is some news for you, winter tires are not only designed to work better in snow, slush and ice but also when it simply gets cold.Bruce Bridgman, National Marketing Manager Toyo Tire Canada Inc. says that among other things the tire's tread rubber needs to remain flexible to do the job it was designed to do. "Good winter tires are designed to handle every aspect of winter driving."In a study done by the Quebec Ministry of Transport comparing all season vs winter tires, results showed that you can get up to 25 percent better breaking and 38 percent better collision avoidance by using a proper winter tire.
