Jay joins us from Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company to take your questions!

 

Tip of the Week:  Jay uses this time to talk about water conservation.  The biggest key is to “learn how to water, correctly.”  Most homeowner’s over-water during the winter months…..and Arizona uses most of our water for outdoor use.

*Technology makes it possible to save too, so using monitors and correctly programming irrigation systems will save water.

*Learn how to conserve water in the yard with this great tool from Water, Use It Wisely.

Callers:

  • Hank – He has 2 ten year old sissou trees in his yard that his landscaper is removing.  He was told they won’t cut out the stump and wants to know if it works and how effective it is?

Recommendation – Most times a stump killer is used now and “Stump Grinders” are effective.  He should be comfortable with the process, just let his landscaper know he needs to replant trees for his H.O.A. to ensure the chemicals don’t spread too far into the area of the new tree.

  • Dawn – She wants to plant a garden and the ground is rocky and they get cooler temperatures, so they’re thinking about putting in a “straw bale garden.” What are our thoughts on this?

Recommendation – Jay’s knows of a few different methods of “straw bale garden,” but he prefers a raised garden for her situation. Do a lot of research and make sure you’re comfortable with the method she chooses.

Segment 1
(running time 12:25)
Segment 2

Segment 4
(running time 5:35)

Caller:

  • Amanda – She and her husband just bought an adobe home and wants to know if they stucco the outside of the home, will it help with their energy bills in the summer and the resale value?

Recommendation – There are a few ways to reduce the energy bills and stucco probably won’t help a lot, so having a “whole house energy audit” would be the best place to start. It’s only $100 and will pinpoint the exact place she’s losing energy in her home.  In Tucson, call Intelligent Design Air Conditioning & Heating.

*After our discussion a few weeks ago on the new rates for SRP customers who use solar power, Laurie with SRP join us to share their side of the story.  Find more information about SRP’s plan for solar.
