Summer tips from the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce, reuse (from epa.gov/wastes/wycd/shomeandgarden.htm) While working in your garden or caring for your yard, there are many things you can do to reduce waste and conserve resources. From caring for your lawn and garden equip ment to “greenscaping,” learn how you can make a difference in the world around you. Use food scraps, yard trimmings and other organic waste to create a compost pile. Compost is a rich soil amendment that can help increase water retention, decrease erosion and replace chemical fertilizers. • Greenscape Your Landscape - In spring and summer, many of us start some kind of landscaping around our property. You can reduce the environmental impacts of landscaping your lawn and property by “grasscycling,” mulching and composting. Properly managing your yard waste enhances your environment and saves you money. • Shred untreated wood and leaf wastes into chips and use them as mulch on garden beds to prevent weed growth, retain moisture, regulate soil temperature and add nutrients back to the soil. • Build a backyard fort or tree house from recycled materials, such as wood scraps, cardboard and other found items. • Buy recycled-content gardening equipment and tools, such as garden hoses made from old tires, stepping stones made from old glass bottles or hand tools made with recycled plastic. You also can use plastic lumber made from recycled plastic Happy Birthday to Hunter Williams bottles and bags to make flower beds, trellises, decks and birdhouses. on July 14!

Gamma, Poppa and all your aunties, • Keep your lawn mower and other equipment in efficient operating condition by uncles and cousins too performing regular maintenance according to the owner’s manual. Purchase a nozzle that prevents fuel spills when refilling your lawn mower. Use manual tools when appropriate to save fuel and protect air quality. • Raise the cutting height of your lawn mower during the hot summer months to keep grass roots shaded and cooler, reducing weed growth, browning and the need for watering. When you mow, “grasscycle” by leaving grass clippings on your lawn instead of bagging them or use a mulching mower. The clippings will return nutrients to the soil instead of taking up space in landfills. • Cut the bottoms off plastic milk jugs or use small paper bags to protect young seedlings from frost, wind, heavy rain and roving animals. Remember to recycle the bags and jugs when the seedlings have grown. • If you have healthy plants you want to replace, donate them to community gardens or schools, or offer them to neighbors. • Many plants and insects can serve as non-toxic, natural deterrents to weeds and garden pests. Introduce ladybugs to eat aphids, plant marigolds to ward off beetles and look for quick-sprouting plants to block weed growth. • Conserve water. Use barrels to collect rain water and use it to water plants. Check hoses for leaks before watering plants and position sprinklers so they water only Happy Birthday to our baby brother, plants, not the sidewalk, street or house.
