Jay with Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company is here to take questions about anything out in the yard!

Tip of the Week: August 1st…..It’s a day that you can go from planting 4 or 5 veggies in the garden to 14 or 15. You’re garden soil needs to be prepped and Jay lists several plants you can get in the ground.

**Here’s Jay’s Planting Guide!

We also have Julie Murphee with the Arizona Farm Bureau in studio. We discuss when and where great local veggies can be bought.

*Find great recipes for fresh fruit and veggies from your own garden or from fresh local providers at Fill Your Plate!

Caller:

  • Roger – He planted several things in his garden and it looks terrible. Is there something he can add to get it going?

Recommendation – Jay would just start over. Supplement the soil with Hickman’s organic compost 6-12 inches deep. Add gypsym too, water it really well and start from seed in the next few weeks.

**Julie talks about using drones to improve the care of plants in fields.

We talk about our new site….you’re here, so I guess you’ve seen it!

  • New Features
  • More for the Do it Yourselfer’s than ever!

Caller:

  • Tracy – His tub is starting to rust…..can he get this repaired? If not, what should he put back in it’s place if he does have to replace it.

Recommendation – If it’s just those two spots, he can remove the fittings and sand away the rust and have it repainted. This is a temporary fix, but a much better option than completely removing the tub prematurely.

*Rosie describes the miserable job of removing a cast iron tub….It doesn’t sound fun or easy.

Chris with Stampede Plumbing is here to talk about changes in regulations for new water heaters and to take any questions about plumbing at your house.

  • Rosie hits hime with an opinion question on his preffered plumbing pipe material. Pex versus Copper?
  • Why the changes in Water Heater regulations?  (Hopefully, it’s better than the introduction of low-flow toilets.)
  • Increased size and higher costs. More efficient.

Caller:

  • Betty – Her water softner system needs new resin….the prices seem very high and wants to know if she should spend money on resin or a new system altogether?

Recommendation – $450.00 sounds like a fair price. For a professional opinion, she can call Water Treatment Technologies

  • More about the new regulations….
  • How Water Heater’s Function and all the parts. What to know about each part and how to care for it.

Caller:

  • Mike – His water heater is making a very large noise a couple of times a day. It’s only a 4 year old unit.

Recommendation – He should check the safety release valve to make sure it’s safe, but this will take some investigation by a professional.
