    There are many to make money on the Internet. Most require significant investment in study, training, websites and time. Most require you to attain a certain level of expertise before you are in a position to compete and generate income.

    One method for making extra money that takes very little time is to take online surveys for cash. Yes, you can get paid for taking surveys.

    Here’s the why and how of this business: Large companies must have feedback from consumers in order to plan new products and improve existing ones. They also need that feedback to measure the effectiveness of their advertising.

    65-70% of the economy of the U.S. and other developed countries is made up of consumer spending. Most large companies have little or no direct contact with the people who actually buy their products. Look around you the next time you go to a department store or supermarket. Thousands of products are being sold by middlemen. The actual producers are nowhere to be seen.

    The large companies hire market researchers to measure public opinion and tell them what people think. Market researchers use mostly surveys to measure consumer opinion. Almost all of these surveys are now done over the internet, online.

    This is big business on the Internet. Thousands of surveys are being made each and every week. How in the world can they get people to take all those surveys? Easy! They pay survey participants to fill out those surveys! Surveys pay from $5 to $150 each. Most are in the $10 to $25 range. Not a lot of money per survey, but they don’t take much time and they add up quickly.

    Take a $10 and a $25 survey every day and you could make over a thousand dollars a month! It might be a good idea to check out taking online surveys for cash.

    There are hundreds of thousands of people getting checks in the mail for surveys every month. You could be one of them…

    Drive smart, save green. It’s a great phrase, and if more people took up the challenge, the whole country - no, the whole world - would benefit immensely. How can you make a difference to the environment with your driving? This article provides you with 7 great tips that you can put into action right away. You’ll save money and help the environment too. OK, time to drive smart, save green…

    1. It has to be said: the very best thing you can do to help the environment with your car is stop driving it! However, you may not have that option, so drive slower instead. Most cars perform best at speeds of between 50 mph to 60 mph. Not too slow and not too fast is how to drive smart, save green.

    2. A staggering 20% of your car’s fuel consumption is used up just overcoming tire roll resistance! How can you drive smart, save green in these circumstances? Buy quality tires that get great reviews. They may cost a little more, but they will perform better. And remember too that under inflated tires will cost you more in gas bills!

    3. Lighten the load in your car. I’ll bet there are things in your car’s trunk that don’t need to be there. Go through each item you regularly carry. If you don’t really need it, dump it. You can drive smart, save green with a lighter load. That will let your car be more fuel efficient.

    4. Switch off your engine while you wait if you are likely to be waiting more than one minute. Restarting your engine burns roughly about the same amount as one minute of idle time, so if you think you will be idling for more than a minute, cut the engine. You’ll save gas and money - drive smart, save green.

    5. Drive smoothly. This one shouldn’t need to be mentioned. It should be the unspoken part of drive smart, drive green. Erratic driving with sudden accelerating and hard braking uses up extra gas. It puts extra wear and tear on your car, which means extra costs to you and the environment.

    Learning to drive smart, save green is largely common sense. If you really need your car, then learn to drive it responsibly and sensibly. However, if you can walk easily to where you need to go, then do so! Only drive smart, save green when you can’t walk.

    Colchicums

    When I asked for suggestions on using Colchicums in the garden, not many could tell me how to avoid the bad effects of the plant’s ample foliage. Recently, however, a belated note came telling of one gardener’s method of enjoying the plant - not as a garden subject, to be sure, but still a way to enjoy it without messing up the garden with a lot of yellow foliage.

    She said, in part, “I plant the bulbs in an out-of-the-way sunny spot that we call the nursery. As soon as the foliage disappears, the bulbs are dug and stored in a cool shed until August; then we pot them up, as many as will go comfortably in each pot, and put them in the window of an unfrequented room until the flower bubbles commence to show.

    They are then put in the window garden where we can enjoy the flowers. After blooming, they are returned to the nursery.

    Sparaxis

    OF all the iris cousins, I think I like sparaxis best for flowering in pots. They are a little taller than freesias, to be sure, and are therefore more difficult to keep upright, but the flowers are generally larger, flatter and more colorful. I think you will find them a pleasant surprise.

    Order them and get them in the soil by late October. Plant five or six an inch deep in a 5-inch pot; put them in a cool dark spot until top growth demands light, when they should be transferred to a cool 50 to 60 Celsius room, giving them full sun when returned to light.

    Ixiolirion Montanum

    Landscape gardeners may be divided into two classes: the impatient ones who demand immediate effects and the curious ones who like to grow all their plants from seeds, regardless of the time needed to bring them to fruition. To the former, bulbs of the lily cousin, Ixiolirion montanum, are to be recommended; to the latter seeds will be welcome.

    In either case, the final result should be a revelation of beauty when the 18-inch plants hang out their showy, angel trumpet plants and starry trumpets of blue in May and June. Although often spoken of in the literature as half-hardy it proved fully hardy in protected places and should be hardy in most sections.

    Camassias

    Considering their ease of culture, if you can supply them plenty moisture until they are through flowering, and the gratifying rewards for that little care, it is not easy to understand why camassias are not found in every garden. There is, for instance, C. leichtlini, in a blue form. Give it a rather heavy, moist soil in part shade (full sun will do) and watch it reach up to 3 or 4 feet with a myriad blue (lavender to deep blue) stars in spring. They are excellent for cutting, opening up to the end of the stem in water. Plant them this fall for best results.
