  3. Preen Mulch Plus Mulching can keep soil moist, make gardens looks tidy and keep weeds under control.  However, ordinary mulch can contain weed seeds. Finally, there’s a new, very different mulch that’s guaranteed to stop weeds for up to six months. Preen Mulch Plus is the only premium shredded wood mulch that comes with added Preen weed preventers already mixed in. Preen Mulch Plus stops weeds, as seeds, before they can grow. It’s fully effective at only 2-inches deep.  So one bag covers 12 sq. ft. — that’s 30% more coverage than ordinary mulches, which have to be spread 3 inches deep. It’s available in 3 non-fade colors: brown, black or russet-red.  You can find it at Lowe’s for just $4.49 per bag and at top garden centers and hardware stores.  PRICE: $4.49; www.preen.com/products/preen-mulch-plus

  4. Briggs and Stratton Mower Engines with QPT Briggs & Stratton have combined two of its most popular innovations in a new mower engine that is 60% quieter than comparable models and it never needs an oil change. The result is what everyone wants in a lawn mower, reduced noise levels and easier maintenance. Briggs and Stratton’s “Just Check & Add Technology” means never having to change the oil in your mower’s engine – just check it and add oil, when you need more. The Quiet Power Technology means no more annoying the neighbors with a loud mower.  It’s significantly quieter than other gas powered engines. Look for this combination of technologies on select mowers at Sears, Walmart and Lowes where this Husqvarna push mower can be purchased. PRICE: Husqvarna QPT/Exi starts at $339.99; www.briggsandstratton.com

  5. Gas Off by Briggs and Stratton – Gas Off by Briggs and Stratton is a plant-based solution that removes gas and diesel odor and residue. 70 percent of people spill gas on themselves, their clothes, car or outdoor power equipment.  Gas Off doesn’t just mask gas smell like other products and home remedies – – it eliminates it. Gas Off is 100% non-toxic and safe for use on fabrics, chrome, plastic, painted surfaces and skin. It’s available in single wipes, a canister, spray bottle, and a flat pack, that’s perfect for your car’s glove compartment.  You can find Gas Off at Walmart, Tractor Supply Company and select Lowes and Home Depot stores. PRICE: starts at $1.29 (for the single wipe) up to $4.95 for the flat pack or spray; www.briggsgasoff.com

    bit familiar of the your broadcast offered vibrant clear
    concept

  2. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do you encounter your blog that’s equally educative
    and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail
    around the head. The thing is something insufficient people
    are speaking intelligently about. I’m thrilled I stumbled across this during
    my search for something associated with this.
