Could You Benefit from a Power Equipment Generator?

A power outage does more than leave you without electricity. Your appliances won’t function, meaning that your food can spoil, your home can become uncomfortably hot or cold, and you will be literally left in the dark. A generator from Honda Power Equipment can change all that, providing you with the power you need in a lights-out situation.

• Using a portable generator like those from Honda gives you the electricity you need in times of blackouts. You won't have to worry about food spoiling or sleeping in the cold, thanks to the power your generator provides.
• A generator is especially useful for people who depend on powered medical equipment. Honda Power Equipment generators are dependable and can provide power for up to 10 hours or more at rated load, which is enough time for your power company to restore electricity or for help to arrive.
• Honda generators can also give you power in otherwise hard-to-access places. If you need to do some groundskeeping far from an outlet, your powered lawn equipment can take advantage of your generator even in remote locations. Generators are perfect for outdoor getaways and cabin retreats as well.
• Honda Power Equipment generators are designed to intelligently provide power that matches the ability of a unit that is up to 50 percent bigger. They are also highly fuel efficient, with larger models providing hours of quiet, uninterrupted power.
• These generators are also highly portable, with even the largest models made for easy transport and positioning. Smaller models strike a balance between portability and power delivery, making them ideal for camping.

When using any portable generator, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and practice proper generator safety. Never operate your generator in an enclosed space without proper ventilation.

Ed’s Lawn Equipment carries a full selection of quality Honda generators that can provide you with power when you need it. Contact us at (866) 414-4667 or visit us online to view our product line.

Pruning Dead Stuff

Knowing when to prune dead or damaged parts of your landscaping can make a big difference in how well your plants continue to grow.

Typically, once spring has passed, your plants will have completed sprouting their new growth and you can safely trim dead branches. It is important to wait until your plants have finished sprouting new growth: What appears to be a dead branch may still be receiving nutrients from the plant and cutting it will cause the plant to expend resources trying to heal the damage. Find more tips to avoid cutting potentially healthy sections of a plant by watching this video.

A Basic Guide to Spring Lawn Care

Now that winter is on its way out, your lawn will need the appropriate springtime care to ensure a healthy new season. With the right knowledge and lawn equipment, you can prevent weed growth, monitor changes in your lawn’s soil, and prevent pests from gaining a foothold in your lawn.

Preventing Weeds and Pests

Seeds and young sprouts of weeds are likely present in your lawn after winter is over, even if you can’t see them yet. Controlling weeds early can keep these nuisances from propagating throughout your lawn and causing damage to your grass. Your lawn equipment specialist can help you determine what herbicides you’ll need to avoid harming your grass while effectively controlling weeds. Some of these compounds are designed to attach to seeds as well as sprouts, which can prevent weeds from ever appearing in your lawn this season.

Keeping your lawn healthy will give it the best defense against pests and diseases. If you are going to reseed your lawn, do it as early in spring as possible. Water your lawn thoroughly with less frequent but heavier soakings after reseeding. Allow grass to grow at least two inches tall before mowing; closely-cropped grass cannot withstand the rising temperatures of spring.

Cleaning Up Your Lawn

Check your lawn’s soil for compaction and use lawn equipment like a garden fork or pitchfork to check the density of the soil. You can use these same tools to loosen and aerate compacted soil, which will give your lawn’s roots room to grow. You will also want to use a rake to carefully and gently clear dead thatch from the blades of your new grass, which will allow water and sunlight to penetrate the soil.
