For any homeowner, a well-manicured lawn is a staple of the homeowning experience. Believe it or not, lawn mowing isn’t exactly straightforward and there’s a lot to it — that’s why a mowing 101 guide is so helpful. Of course, the right tools can make the job so much easier, which is why it’s good to keep a finger on the pulse of all of the best lawnmower deals.

Then, there is the choice to go with a gas mower or an electric one. If electric and efficient is more your style, Amazon is offering the Greenworks 40V 2-in-1 Push Lawn Mower, with battery and charger, for $230. That’s $69 off the normal price, and it includes free Prime shipping. Can’t beat that, especially when it comes with the accessories you’ll need.

The Greenworks 40V Cordless Electric Push Lawn Mower is a 16-inch system, with a lightweight cutting deck that can handle small to medium-sized yards. Ideally, it can cut up to half an acre effectively, before needing to recharge, which is about 45 minutes of total runtime. It comes with a battery and a charging system, but more are available if you want to pick up spares. A single battery will charge to full in just 120 minutes. The battery works with a host of additional tools from Greenworks if you ever pick up any other power tools or have other batteries available.

The lawnmower has a single-lever 5-position height adjustment system so you can fine-tune how high, or low, the cut truly is. It’s an easy push-button start system, and it needs no gas, no oil, and will not produce any emissions. It’s both more efficient and safer for the environment. It produces up to 50% less noise and vibrations than a gas mower, too. The “2-in-1” feature means it can be used to mulch and has a rear bag, which is also detachable if you don’t want to use it.

Normally $300, Amazon is offering the Greenworks 40V 16-inch Cordless Electric Push Lawn Mower, with accessories, for $229 plus free Prime shipping and delivery. That’s $69 or 23% off the full price, and it’s one of the better deals we’ve seen in a long while. If you’ve been on the fence about grabbing an electric system, this deal might throw you over. It can get those weeds creeping up the wood panels, too!

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

A golf ball sitting in grass.

When you're just getting started with golf, you may not realize that there are several different kinds of golf balls, each tailored for a specific skill level, swing speed, or other priorities. The choices can be overwhelming, but they boil down to three kinds: two piece, three piece, and four piece. So now you might be wondering, what golf ball should I use? In this guide, we're going to discuss the three major kinds of golf balls and how to choose the best one for you.

When choosing a golf ball, you'll first need to assess your skill level, swing speed, priorities for distance control, materials, and budget. These five factors aren't the only things to consider, but they will get you to a great starting point. The key is to understand the construction and performance characteristics of each golf ball. In a nutshell, two-piece, also known as low-compression balls, prioritize distance and are great for beginners. Three-piece golf balls have better control for more intermediate players, while still giving you great distance. And lastly, the four-piece golf balls, or high-compression balls, are perfect for advanced players for their precision. Here's the breakdown:
