Buying local is always in. The farmers that sell at your local market are usually within driving distance of your house which means you\u2019re helping the local economy, giving your family healthy options, and supporting your businesses in your own neighborhood. <\/p>\n
Traditional charcoal and briquettes might make your food tasty, but the particulates emanating off the grill are pretty harmful to the environment.

You\u2019ve seen the \u201cmosquito control\u201d planters all over Pinterest for good reason. They work! Filling up your deck, patio, porch and backyard with mosquito hating greens just might make your summer plans that much sweeter. Try bunches of Citronella plants, Lemon Thyme, and Lemongrass placed around your outdoor areas for some much needed relief. We can\u2019t guarantee that you won\u2019t get bit, but we\u2019re pretty sure your yard will be the nicest smelling place on the block, with the least amount of pesky critters. <\/p>\n
This is simple \u2013 if you can, swamp out a simple push mower for your electric or gas mower. You can mow the grass and get a work out!<\/p>\n
Another easy change \u2013 just hang a clothesline between two pillars, and voila! Instant outdoor dryer. Your clothes will smell like the great outdoors, and your wallet will thank you. <\/p>\n
