As winter gives way to spring, it’s time to start paying attention to the lawn and garden once again. Before the user starts the springtime outdoor chores, it’s best to make sure that their equipment is in working order and ready to tackle all the garden tasks on the list. Schumacher can help users get the best out of their lawn and garden, whether they are tending a lawn that’s the envy of their neighbors or planting a vegetable garden. It can help user charge and maintain their riding lawn mower’s battery or power grow lights in their greenhouse. Maintain Lawn Mower’s Battery Spring is the time of year when the lawn will emerge from its winter dormancy Spring is the time of year when the lawn will emerge from its winter dormancy. As it begins to grow, make sure the lawn tractor is ready to work. While lawnmowers are essential for anyone with a yard, most of the users will leave ours unused for months of the year. This risks a dead battery. When should the user charge the lawn tractor’s battery? Schumacher recommends charging the battery before storing the lawn tractor for the winter, before starting it for the first time in the spring, and before starting if it has sat unused for an extended period. Schumacher has a wide range of battery chargers and maintainers uniquely suited to prevent or remedy a dead battery.

Give Vegetables a Boost Users have probably heard the phrase, “There aren’t enough hours in the day.” Well, sometimes the plants feel the same way. While springtime sees the days get longer, some gardeners like to give their seedlings and other plants a boost with a few extra hours of sunlight. If users are lucky enough to have a greenhouse, it is easy to supplement the hours of natural light users are given with grow lights, which are an economical and easy-to-implement solution. Greenhouse owners can also use grow lights to remedy uneven lighting, banishing the dark corners that are present even in these light-filled structures. lithium generators But what to do if the greenhouse lacks AC power to run the grow lights? Traditional gas generators can supply power, but because they emit carbon monoxide, they are dangerous to use inside any type of structure. The fumes emitted by a gas generator can kill a person and your plants won’t appreciate the fumes either. Even if placed outside the greenhouse, gas generators can still be a nuisance. They are quite loud, spoiling the serenity of the garden. Schumacher has the solution for safely powering the greenhouse; a lithium-powered generator. Schumacher’s lithium generators provide portable power on demand and because they are fume- and fuel-free they are safe to use indoors and operate silently.
