Synthetic grass is also known as artificial grass. It looks very much like real grass and it is made of polyurethane strips and stuck onto tough and long lasting backing material. Initially it was called astro turf and with technological advance, synthetic grass or fake grass is now very realistic and extremely safe.

Artificial grass is safe for children and pets and will brighten and make accessible unsightly garden space. It feels good to the touch and looks like natural grass. Many household are concerned about pets but be assured that pet waste can be easily disposed of by using a hose pipe and a simple cleaner. The drainage system will adequately soak it away. The use of fake grass is increasing and becoming more diverse. It is popularly used in business and residential premises, and on sport fields. Synthetic grass will not trigger a reaction if your child is allergic to grass and grass pollen.

Universities, parks, schools and recreational facilities that use artificial grass will save on cost and maintenance because there is no need for mowing or watering. In sport facilities in several countries, synthetic grass is used frequently on tennis courts, lacrosse and golf courses.

Environmental experts think that replacing grass with fake grass is bad for the planet as grass in lawns forms part of the important cycle that converts greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide into oxygen but is that really the full story? The truth is, when replacing grass with synthetic grass, you are in fact minimising your carbon footprint. Experts think that lawn machinery such as mowers plus herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers used could cause as much as 8% of global warming. Installing fake grass lawn dramatically reduces the use of toxic chemicals, air pollution by emission, and water usage.

In the USA, 210 million tons of pesticides are used annually and 98 million households use pesticides. This toxic chemical can lead to liver, kidney and neurological problems. In addition, it increases the risk of cancer and it can suppress the immune system making you less resistant to infections. It can affect asthma by either increasing susceptibility or act as a trigger. In USA, 1.2 million tons of fertilisers are used annually and 20 million tons of herbicides.

When first introduced, it had worldwide publicity in 1965 when the Houston Astrodome was built. The quality and varieties have improved significantly since. It is now used in domestic and business premises, sport and recreational facilities. There are several benefits from installing synthetic grass. The surface remain consistently stable, tough and durable in all weather. You save time and money. You no longer spend your precious spare time tidying your lawn but instead relax on it. You no longer use toxic chemicals. Today we hear a lot about climate change. Should there be drought or hose pipe bans, while your neighbour’s lawn will look limp and brown, yours will remain lush, vibrant and inviting.

Having an artificial lawn does not mean you are adding to global warming. You are reducing greenhouse gas because you no longer use a mower or other machinery, and there will be no release of methane from decomposing cut grass. This, in addition to the other benefits of having a synthetic grass lawn, is why more and more people are changing from grass and all the problems with maintenance to artificial lawn.

The Hayward AquaBug is easily one of the highest selling above ground pool vacuums. It is an automatic pool cleaner designed for above ground pools with vinyl liners. It works just as well on either flat bottoms and dished bottoms.

Function

In the same way as with Hayward’s other automatic pool cleaners, such as Diver Dave and Wanda The Whale, the AquaBug is self-propelled. It, in the same way as the others, uses a technology patented by Hayward called SmartDrive, which programs the cleaner to clean faster and more efficiently than a great deal of other bottom-roving cleaners, which move around in a random fashion.

Suction

The vacuum mechanism of the AquaBug is powerful. It sucks up everything from sand and microscopic particles to fallen leaves. If you will be using it to suck up leaves, you may want to invest in a leaf catcher, which will prevent your filter from getting clogged. It’s an inexpensive investment which will keep you from spending time and energy unclogging your filter, or, worse, having to repair it, which could cost a lot.

Design

Similar to Hayward’s other cleaners Wanda the Whale and Diver Dave, the AquaBug comes in a unique color and pattern, which distinguishes it from other automatic above ground pool vacuums. Kids love the fun design, which resembles a large red insect – though not a scary insect, but a friendly one. But don’t be fooled by its fun exterior; the AquaBug is among the best automatic cleaners money can buy.

Equipment

The Hayward AquaBug works with a standard above ground pool filtration system, so it is not necessary to buy an additional booster pump. This is a plus because it saves energy, and therefore, of course, saves you money on electricity bills.

Safety

One of the most important things about the AquaBug, as well as with most automatic above ground pool vacuums, is that it keeps the pool clean with its powerful suction ability instead of with the use of caustic chemical cleansers. Too many chemicals in the water can lead to poor health effects. This is especially important if children will be swimming in the pool, since the immune systems of children are not as strong as are immunes systems of adults.

But I am questioning what people want for their machines. I think they are overcharging. Is there a Kelly Blue Book for Lawn Tractors/Gardening Equipment?

Please let me know where you are located.

I have a lawn man in Southwest Florida for $90 a month. He trims the plants and flowers but does not do the herb garden!?

If you want your garden furniture to be the best you have to choose market umbrella stands. These are the ultimate in luxury patio pieces but at reasonable price tags. Sure there are cheaper alternatives on the market but do you want a great product or one that you have to change every year? The term market umbrella is normally only used to describe wooden products and not ones made from plastic, fake wood or metal.

When you buy furniture for your outdoor space you need to spend as much time thinking about your decision as you would for indoors, in fact you might have to take a little longer. The items you buy have to look great while also dealing with the weather. No matter how well protected the piece is, adverse weather will have an impact. This is especially true of cheaper products.

You will have a number of decisions to make such as the size of furniture you want to buy. Market umbrella stands come in a range of sizes so it doesn’t matter if you have chosen a low oriental suite or high back modern style chairs.

You can pick a round, square or rectangular table with an umbrella to match. You may prefer wood or wicker but for a more modern look you might want to choose one made from aluminum or steel instead.

Whatever you buy make sure you purchase your market umbrella stands from a recognized retailer so that you know what you are buying. Ideally you should buy your stand, umbrella and the rest of your patio furniture at the same time so that everything goes well together. You may want to purchase off season to get the best deals but you will have less choice than if you go shopping when the new season starts.
