If one end dips when you let it go, it's probably out of balance. Before refilling the tank, add 2 ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment or other stabilizer to a gallon of gas for the new fill.

The county is already applying for additional grant funding for 2012, with plans to fund 100 exchanges next spring. The program arose out of Polk County leaders' desire to involve citizens in a county-wide effort to reduce the amount of ground-level ozone...

Off to the Mediterranean for me!In my area, containers of daffodils and other little bulbs are not unusual in commercial applications: outdoor shopping areas, outside of restaurants, in fact, any commercial property with rights to a patch of outdoors...

On Unfamiliar Landscapes Are you planning on mowing a new area, but aren't sure if there are rocks or other objects hidden in the grass and weeds? You would never drive a riding mower across a steep slope, or across very uneven or rocky ground, but a...

Lawn Tractor When you think of a riding lawn mower, this is probably what you think of: a fairly basic but capable machine that can mow grass and perhaps pull a cart or push a small snow plow when needed.

If snowfall in your area is typically light, fluffy and not very deep, plowing it with a lawn mower or ATV won't be very difficult. What Kind of Snow Will You Be Plowing? You can also attach weights directly to the wheels, as this can increase traction...

(Zero-turns don't always have a hitch for attachments.) Rear-Engine Tractors Essentially, these are small lawn tractors with engines in the back and a steering wheel to control the front wheels.

Cons Because these carts are small, they're not as convenient for large projects. Some offer the ability to pull a lever and quickly dump the contents out of the back, a plus if you're transporting dirt, rocks, manure or similar materials.

In my case, with the right wheel raised slightly off the ground, the left wheel was being asked to do all of the work, and because the mower was stuck and reluctant to move, the left wheel essentially gave up any effort to move and threw all the power...

A scythe will replace a lawn mower , weed whacker and brush hog in experienced hands with no noise, pollution or fossil fuel consumption. Some scythe manufacturers and experienced knife sharpeners offer peening services.

Rotary mowers are the most common mowers used by homeowners. The type of mower you choose will also affect cutting heights, as some mowers cut better at different heights.All lawn mower types require maintenance to keep them functioning properly and cutting...

Workman, on the other hand, provides her Sebastopol flock with a number of lodging choices: a kid's play house, an insulated plastic dog house, a truck canopy, and barn stall. I haven't had any trouble with them chasing people,” she says.

It is an intentional space made for me and my plants, not for mowers, tillers, trimmers or irrigation. In our shared space, I need to be respectful of the overall standards and expectations.

This number, measured in decibels, gives you an idea of how effectively the earplugs or earmuffs reduce the apparent volume of loud noises. Throw in string trimmers, leaf blowers, ATVs, chainsaws, snow blowers and, well, you get the picture.

Grasshopper and katydid nymphs hop all around as I sit and marvel at the quiet beauty of the untamed ground cover with its riches that might otherwise go unnoticed.. They scatter about each year but are not hard to find.

Another advantage: Tractor engines are much quieter when allowed to run at less than full throttle, giving your ears a bit of a rest . And when it comes to utility tractors, they have power to spare for simple projects, so you can handle tasks such as...

Instead, I'm working toward mowing the edges of the fields several times a year with a riding lawn mower . But the results are absolutely worth it. We're not talking dozens of trees, or even hundreds.

Those with large lots may want to look into the time-saving benefits of a riding mower, while those with smaller areas to maintain may be just fine with an inexpensive push mower. What kind of garden tools and equipment do you need, and what are the best...

The second step to the process was removing nails that held long-handled spades and forks. As I removed one panel after the other, the mice exited, as well. It also might resolve the resident-mouse problem.

That's all fine and good, but have you ever considered keeping an organized collection of less specific and more general spare parts, such as household hardware, and nuts and bolts of varying sizes?

Not only did they succeed and gain the recognition and confidence of a significant share of the market, they did it all in America. Congratulations to Bad Boy, to Lewendal and to ABC for the story.

Once the perimeter has been mowed, determining the best mowing direction for the remainder of the area can be a question of whether the grass is short or long. This will discharge the clippings toward the middle of the mowing area, which is much more...

Buildings Buildings usually have a short strip of grass next to their sides that remains right against the wall and isn't easy to mow fairly close to. Uneven ground also makes it difficult to mow grass at an even height and increases the risk of your...

Then, after turning off the mower, go back through and collect your pieces, returning the ground pieces to the compost bin. That was before I learned the secret. The practices involved with gardening and urban farming often reinforce the virtue of patience.

Of all the tools and machines that farmers have to be thankful for, tractors should probably be at the top of the list. From baling hay and plowing fields to moving manure and carrying supplies, the amount of time and effort that tractors save us can...

At first glance, they resemble ordinary pliers , except that in place of gripping teeth they have two short prongs that jut out from the front. I've always advocated having the right tool for every job .

Stay tuned! Ask Martok! Do you have a livestock or wildlife question you want me to answer? Selenium is an essential trace mineral. (Don't tell her I said she's a tubber—she'll bite my ears!) Then, six weeks ago her pre-kidding preparation began.
