If you want to attract more birds to your yard, there’s no need to have bird feeders full of seed everywhere. Instead, eliminate all chemical insecticides from your backyard. According to the National Wildlife Federation, our feathered friends love to hunt and eat insects because it’s their primary source of protein. When a yard is treated to eliminate insects, it’s a less attractive environment for birds to visit. Turn your yard into a wildlife habitat and you’ll not only go green, but you’ll save the money you would have spent on costly (and unnecessary) spray treatments.

If your computer is acting slow, it may not be time to get a new laptop or desktop; the culprit may actually be what your PC is plugged into. Keeping a computer plugged into a surge protector is necessary to help protect your pricey investment. But like any electronics, even surge protectors wear down over time and need to be replaced. A worn-out surge protector could be the reason for a slowdown in performance from your computer. To make sure, simply borrow a new surge protector and plug your computer into it. If it acts fine, you’ll know exactly what the reason is.

Do you want to help grow a garden and feed the soil at the same time? Decomposing autumnal gourds and pumpkins may be compostable, but they can also grow from and help feed any kind of soil in the yard. Just dig a hole and toss the mushy pumpkin, squash or gourd right in, then cover. It’ll decompose into beneficial mulch for your garden and offer a surprise down the road: a fresh patch of plants that’ll sprout new gourds, right in your own garden.
