DAILY ACTIONS

Transportation

Improve the MPG on my existing car.

Not everyone has the pocket book to purchase a new electric, hybrid or 40+ MPG vehicle. But you can still do your part to improve your current vehicle's MPG. Regular maintenance and replacement of a few key items will go a long way toward that goal. Click the LEARN button below to explore what you can do to get the most out of your tank of gas:

Transportation

Make it a Habit to Drive for better MPG

By far, the best recommendation to reduce your fuel consumption is to NOT drive your car. Opt to walk or bike when you can. When you have to drive, there are a few habits to be mindful of to reduce your fuel consumption. Avoiding bad driving habits like accelerating too quickly or late braking and using your cruise control more frequently can all improve MPG. To make things more interesting, keep track of your MPG with each tank fill-up and challenge yourself or compete with a friend to improve the results each time.

    Planted a Spartan Apple Tree over the weekend. Don't pay attention to the grass, I'm working on it :)

    50 Cedar Seedlings got delivered today (coincidentally on Earth Day). Soaking them in water for 7 hours and planting them in this bucket temporarily until they find their permanent home next weekend in PA at our family's farm.

    Cut 11 grape vine clippings this weekend to replace a few vines that have died over the last couple of years. Here I am clipping it below the bud. The bottom bud will create roots in about 2 weeks and then will be ready to be planted in a pot. From there it will be ready by next Spring to plant.

    Ready to plant this peach tree and blueberry bush. Need to build a cage around the peach tree before planting so the deer will not get to it.

    Ordered 50 White Cedar Seedlings today to plant end of April. Now starting to look up ways to protect them from deer so they have a chance at growing and this doesn't happen...
