In-Studio with Bill Jenkins of Think Green Irrigation and Landscaping.
Tip of the Week: Now is the time that your summer lawn should be transitioned. Start with the basics and make sure you’ve got the irrigation set correctly. Make sure your watering at the right times and the right amount. If your lawn isn’t getting enough sun and too much shade, it could be part of the problem. A lot of people thatch too often, but right now is a great time to of the year to do it.
Listen as Romey, Rosie and Bill discuss the benefits of raised planters and container gardens!

Consumer Alert!! The R.O.C. reports a Matthew Foreman has been circulating through Surprise and Sun City taking deposits and the work never gets done. Don’t be taken advantage of! You can do that by going to Rosieonthehouse.com!!!
Callers:
Recommendation – Inject a foam insulation into the stud cavities on the outer walls, then hang half inch soundboard over the top of that and finally sheet rock. For the windows, think about Magnetite Southwest.
Callers:
Recommendation – Think about sheet vinyl over the plywood and then you can put whatever you’d like and it’ll be water proof. For a unique solution, think about synthetic grass from Easy Turf from Sunburst Landscaping.
If you’re confused about the solar industry, call Harmon Solar and get it sorted out!
Callers:
Recommendation – Doing it by hand, scrape the first inch and water it down to soften up the soil. Rosie would rent a power tool! If you’re going to go with a pond-less water feature, call the Pond Gnome.
Recommendation – A basin wrench. Homeowner’s need to know that some of the bigger box stores use plastic in their plumbing parts instead of brass like they should be. You get what you pay for!!
Remember to sign up for the Arizona Staycation in a Ford from Sanderson Ford!!
Thank you to the John Riordan House and the Cerreta Candy Company!
We’re in-studio with Dennis Rodenburg of Thermal Advantage today. How do you know if foam insulation is right for you home?.?
The majority of the homes built in the 50’s and 60’s were masonry homes with zero insulation and used swamp coolers. Homes with absolutely no insulation, foam injection can increase your insulation protection by 5 times.
We’re discussing all the different benefits and various types.
Callers:
Recommendation – This was a problem that shouldn’t be anymore, but you can always ask. Buy American and support your neighbors!
Worried about the longevity of foam? Nah! It’s been around for a very long time and you can rest assured it will last.
Hot rooms? Can’t go in the garage in the summer? Take back that space with unique solutions from Thermal Advantage.

Happy Trails to you and join us every Saturday from 8 to 11!
