Video: Easy Ways to Reduce Your Winter Energy Bill (Sponsored)

Winter is coming, and not just in “Game of Thrones.” Winterizing your home can save you as much as 30 percent off your heating bill, experts say.

This article is sponsored by Home Depot: Time is money, the old adage goes, but so is a well-winterized house. Stopping air leakages can take as much as 30 percent off your heating bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Georgia's summer heat puts a definite stress on your grass. Here’s how to care for it as we enter the fall.

This article is sponsored by Home Depot: No matter what type of grass you have, summer heat will leave your lawn struggling. If you have a warm-season grass (Bermuda, Zoysia or St. Augustine, for example), the best thing you can do right now is to roll back on the nitrogen-rich fertilizer and give your lawn a rest. “Don’t apply anything that has nitrogen in it after August,” said Lynwood Blackmon of the DeKalb County Extension. “You don’t want to encourage new growth when the grass is ready to go into a dormant state.” There’s no rest for the weary, though, if you’ve got a cool-season grass such as fescue.
