* Deep watering, in the morning, is better for your grass than frequent, shallow watering.

Protect your home when you're on vacation.
* Lock doors and windows.
* Set timers on lights.
* Have mail and newspaper stopped or picked up by a neighbor.
* Unplug electronic devices vulnerable to power surges.
