Featured Home Improvement Products: Each month we look forward to telling you about products that we think you should know about for in and around your home.

Permalife Landscape Mulch - Why Mulch? Mulch acts as a weed barrier and helps to conserve moisture in the soil around the roots of flowers and shrubs, significantly reducing water use. It gives garden beds a clean appearance; typically, you would have to apply wood mulch once or twice a year to maintain the attractive look but PermaLife has a recycled rubber substitute for wood mulch that will not compact or decay and lasts for years. Rubber mulch is also environmentally friendly because it is 100% recycled rubber. www.permalife.com.

Easy to store wheel barrow - The Fold-A-Cart is ideal if you need a wheelbarrow, but you don’t have the space to store it. It offers six cubic feet and 200 pounds of carrying power designed specifically for homeowners, gardeners, campers, or anyone with a load to carry. A versatile cart that folds down to 20% of its original size for easy transport and storage. www.foldatools.com.
