"I don't want any weeds to have to deal with."
The infamous statement uttered by millions. That is a pretty tall order to attempt to fill. Over the years, I have discovered that many people believe the fallacy that rock mulch over plastic or landscape cloth will render their planting free of weeds forever and ever. Covering up the soil equals no weeds?
In truth this is an absolutely not possible. After fighting weeds on hundreds of acres over d ...

Coffee: A Historic Beverage, And A Great Holiday Gift
Ah, coffee... a fantastic dark beverage that wakes us up in
the morning. For some of us, it keeps us up during the day,
or for late night study sessions. We drink it out of habit,
we drink it from addiction, we drink it for flavor; whatever
the reason, it is surely a popular beverage. So where did
this famed drink come from?
Coffee, for Americans, is three hundred years old. In the
East it was widespread at every level of society, since the
earlier era. The most notab ...

Open the Cash Vault Inside Your Home
Believe it or not, many people do not understand equity and the power it provides. In its purest form, equity is money. With regard to real estate (specifically, your house or other investment property), equity is measured in terms of the value of the property minus what you owe. So, if your home is valued at $100,000, and you owe $40,000 on it, you have $60,000 in equity (actual money that is available to you, under particular circumstances). Surprisingly, many people have this t ...
