John Jay Discusses Granular vs. Liquid Fertilizer.

John Jay and Romey share tips on the best way to prep your soil before you plant!

Be careful on planting too deep.
Dig your hole nice and wide to let the roots grow wide.
Soaking your ground before you start digging will make the digging easier.

Caller:

Walt – Wants help identifying a tree he doesn’t think is native to the desert.

Tip – Take a picture to a nursery, but John Jay thinks it’s probably a Tabebuia Tree.

More Tool Recommendations from the National Hardware Show:

Caller:

Locally…..

Visit Local First Arizona.
Flags Galore & More – USA flags should be American Made…..duh!!!
Old Glory Gifts

Great story about building an all made in American Home from ABC news….and Another.

We discuss how to attract wildlife around your home. (The right kind of wildlife!)

Jennifer recommends visiting the National Wildlife Federation’s Website or Arizona Fish & Game to get started.

If you’re trying to bring wildlife to your yard, think about these.
Use barriers to protect plants.
How to attract pollinators.
Walkways should be lit and clear of plants. Don’t attract things right by your home or walkways.

Remember to thank a veteran this weekend and to remember those who sacrificed for our freedom!

Our very own Stan Zumbrennen is a U.S. Coast Guard Veteran. He shares a story from his days on the water.

Thank you for your Service Stan!!

We continue our discussion on Urban Farming and Pollinators.

Bats are great pollinators!

Bat Conservation and Management – They might make you go “ewww” but they’re great for your yard. Just don’t put one of these bat houses near your backdoor!

Hummingbirds are pollinators too and probably a little more attractive than a bat.

Learn more from a local store….Wild Birds Unlimited in Mesa.

Bees, bees, bees….we need more!

We’ve been talking bees! Did you know a Bounce Dryer sheet will repel bees from your picnic. Here’s a link for trying it out!

Congratulations to a new Arizona StayCation winner…..Doug from Green Valley!
