This can make that newly transplanted specimen tree almost almost guaranteed to survive and it will look great year after year and thrive within your landscape. These tips are something you should read before you let your favorite landscaper, garden center, or tree nursery sell you anything.

1) Never plant the tree to deep. Trees need oxygen just as you or I do, once you pile extra dirt over the roots you will be lowering the quantity of oxygen that may go to the roots. Some trees are more sensitive to this than others; Maple trees are incredibly sensitive to being planted to deep. It is usually better to plant a couple inches above ground level and mulch around it.

2) Please do not pile mulch or dirt around the trunk. Many parts of the tree are intended to stay beneath the ground and certain areas are supposed to be above ground. When you pile a bunch of mulch or dirt covering the trunk you are putting a part of the tree that was intended to be above ground, below ground. This will make the trunk to rot and your freshly transplanted tree to die. Mulch close to the tree but leave about one inch separation between the trunk and the beginning of the mulch

3) Do not let the rabbits kill your tree. Rabbits have always been my arch enemy when it comes to trees. In the winter, when they get hungry and there is nothing to eat they will resort to eating the bark off your tree. They will feed on a nice ring all the way around your tree, killing your specimen tree every time. Nurseries, Garden Centers, Tree Farms and Landscapers, will not warranty a tree that has animal damage. Put a piece of corrugated pipe surrounding the base of the tree for the winter to keep the critters away.

4) Obtain some root stimulator with Mycorrhizal Fungus in it. This fungus thrives in forests where there is a inherent underground ecosystem. The fungus attaches to the roots and provides nutritional value and moisture to the tree. There is a symbiotic connection between the roots and the fungus. When you grow a new tree there is not any of this fungus in the ground given that the fungus would need to be attached to the roots of a tree for it to exist. The bottom line without getting in too much detail is, get it, it works! Apply it in the spring for preferred outcome. You can utilise this on your plants as well; give your whole landscape a little supercharge for the season.

5) Excessive water will kill your tree just as easily as too little water. There is no hard and fast rule on how much to water, even so, you cannot afford not to water your tree incorrectly. This is the number one cause new trees die.

This might make you want to hold your head in shame at your own CPA income! Thankfully, there are some “secrets” you can put to use right away to ramp up your income so you can become a truly successful CPA marketer.

The first mistake many new CPA marketers make is not connecting with their account manager. The most successful CPA marketers will tell you that this is key! It is your account manager’s job to keep you up to date on the latest offers, and to tell you what is converting well.

Sure — you probably get the standard e-mail from your account manager telling you what’s converting well. You need to go deeper than that! Contact them either through e-mail or on Instant messenger and get the real dirt on what you should be promoting. They have access to some awesome data, and they are more than happy to share it with you. After all, the more money you make, the more money they make.

Another secret is not being afraid to scale your campaigns. Too many marketers get complacent with where they are and neglect to expand on campaigns that are winners and get rid of campaigns that are just a waste of time. If you want to be truly successful, you need to learn about scalability.

The difference between the Cost Per Action Marketing person who is making millions and the one who is making a few hundred or thousand per month is the scale of the operation. Now that you are making a little bit of money with CPA, it’s just a matter of scaling up! Clearly you are doing something right since you are able to convert offers. You need to take matters into your own hands and figure out a way to promote more offers, more effectively. Studying the masters of CPA is a great way to do this.

Finally, you have to tap into the latest and greatest promotional techniques. Things that were working just a few short months ago are no longer the most effective strategies. Educating yourself as much as you can is a key step in making more money with Cost Per Action Program. Even just one seemingly simple idea from someone else can be enough to make your campaigns far more profitable.

Put these CPA secrets into practice, and you’ll soon realize that you too can be one of those successful CPA marketers everyone whispers about.

Do you have a piece of Sterling Silver or Silver Plate that you’d like to clean and polish?

The first step in cleaning and polishing your Silver Plate is to dust and handwash your item.  Silver is a very soft metal and any kind of dust or dirt can become an abrasive.  Most people agree that silver should not be put in the dishwasher.

You can easily polish your silver with Jamestowne Silver Polish. Jamestowne Silver polish is safe for both antique and new silver products.

You don’t want to polish your items too often, or you will wear off the details in the silver, and can actually eat through the silver plate.  Two times a year is plenty.

First, apply the  Jamestowne Silver Polish directly on the item. Don’t use too much. 

Two, with a soft cloth or towel, rub the polish around. The Jamestowne Antique Silver Polish should work easily, but you may need to use some elbow grease on stains and buildup. Rub in straight strokes. Using circular movements can cause you to scratch circles into the silver. Only press as hard as you need to to remove the tarnish. You don’t want to remove the silver. Rinse the object off in cold water. 

Finally, take a soft clean towel or cloth and buff the object. If you are using microfiber, read the instructions on the microfiber, prior to using it on silver, as it is known to scratch. 

Using these simple steps, you can clean and polish your new or antique Silver Plate with ease.
