The Entrepreneurs Guide To Using Your Garden To Become Rich

Everyone seems to be struggling for money these days. Maybe it has something to do with being in the middle of the worst financial disaster of our time. If you’re entrepreneurially minded you could change all that if you have a garden. It doesn’t matter how small the garden, though bigger would be better. There are lots of ways you could turn your garden into a money making machine.

Now you won’t need to worry about next months credit card bill. You won’t be spending next summer at home if you can afford to get away somewhere beautiful. All because you dared to be different. You took that entrepreneurial mind of yours and devised a plan to make money from the comfort of your own home. Although you may not be comfortable with all these suggestions, let’s go see what you could possible do.

People need allotments

You might be blessed with a huge garden, but unfortunately others are not so lucky. People love to plant their own vegetables and are unable to because they don’t have the space. Why don’t you give it to them? People would pay you money to rent a patch of your garden. You can make sure it’s away down the bottom so they don’t get in the way. They will pay good money for the right piece of land and it gives you something to buy more lovely food with.

Let people throw parties

Another thing they are unable to do if they have a tiny garden is throw birthday parties. Even if they could throw it at their own house they may prefer somewhere different. A change of scenery. You only get one birthday per year, unless you’re the Queen of England, but it’s always someone’s birthday every day. Maybe you could try renting it out on a day you’re not at home. It’s basically a license to print money.

Camping out

If you live in an area full of tourists you could try renting out the garden as a campsite. All you’re basically doing is letting people sleep in your garden and they pay you for the pleasure. It would work out great if there is any big events in your town or city. Usually places will fill up quite quickly and you should be able to find someone willing to hand over money. Just don’t rent it to a young group of lads that are going to be spending the night raving away at a party. You don’t want your garden turned into a bomb site.

A work of art

Do you think your garden is more beautiful than everyone else’s? Does your scenery leave everyone else in the shade? Well this would be the perfect place for painting groups to come and turn your garden into a work of art. For a price, of course. Just make sure it’s not a still life class and you have some random naked stranger lying about your grass. You might get some funny looks the next time you speak to the neighbor.

    HOW INSULATION WORKS

    You need insulation in your home to provide resistance to heat flow. The more heat flow resistance your insulation provides, the lower your heating and cooling costs.

Heat flow can also move indirectly through interior floors, walls and ceilings wherever there is a difference in temperature.… Read the rest

  • Preparing Your Fireplace Prior to Winter

    With Winter around the corner, now is probably a good time to get that fireplace in shape for this season of sitting by the fire with a good book, spouse or significant other.
    Even with our mild winters here in the Dallas Fort Worth area, the Chimney Safety Institute recommends that homeowners who light fires in their fireplaces three or more times a week during the heating season should have their chimneys inspected and cleaned once a year.
    If unseasoned wood is burned in the fireplace, twice-a-year cleaning and inspection may be necessary, because unseasoned wood usually burns at a lower temperature than seasoned wood, causing more smoke and therefore more creosote.… Read the rest

  • Cleaning and Maintaining Your Jetted Tub

    I recently performed my routine maintenance on the jacuzzi tub we have in the master bath. I thought I would share some of the tips I’ve picked up during my home inspection career. I’m always seeking to better my knowledge on questions that may come up during one of my home inspections.
    All whirlpool bathtubs have a small amount of residual water left in the pipeline. Minerals in water begin a process of calcifying around the insides of your pipes. This hard scale build up not only restricts water flow, but becomes a perfect breading ground for infectious bacteria. As the algae breaks off, you will see it in your bath water as ugly black flecks.… Read the rest

  • Draining a Water Heater

    Very few homeowners realize the need to drain a few gallons of water from your water heater twice a year. Regardless of the type of water heater you have, gas or electric, water heaters can develop a build up of sediment at the bottom of the tank. This build up can cause the water heater to operate inefficiently, shortening the life span of the appliance. Prior to draining water from your tank, you need to understand the proper way and safety concerns of performing this task. It is very important that when you are doing this maintenance to your water heater, you make sure the appliance is turned off and that you protect yourself from a potential burn.… Read the rest

  • Do You Have Bed Bugs

    When people think about blood sucking insects, they first picture a mosquito or tick. Did you know bed bugs are also blood suckers. The tiny, sneaky insects are spreading so rapidly across the United States that almost no region or area is unbitten, a new survey suggests. The United States has seen a 50-fold increase in bed bug infestations over the last five years, according to the National Pest Management Association. An entomologist told MSNBC, “It’s like the return of the wooly mammoth,” as many of his peers had previously never seen a single bed bug in their careers. The outbreak has affected most parts of North America and Europe, especially in urban areas.… Read the rest
