It’s our horticultural expert, Jay, with Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company is here!

Tip of the Week: Labor Day weekend is a good time to feed your trees (especially citrus) & other plants.

  • Planting “Cool Season Crops” – Things you eat the root, the leaf and stem of.
  • Granular fertilizer only needs to sink in through the top soils.
  • It’s time for pre-emergent herbicices too. Get ahead of those weeds!
  • Significant & historic trees we’ve encountered across Arizona.

  • Filling in sunken living rooms – the details, the fixes and the common mistakes.

Caller:

  • Betty – She needs to replace the windows. Should she get vinyl or what type of frame do we reccomend? Plus, does she need to talk to the plaster guy 1st or the window guys 1st?

Recommendation – We’ll tackle it in the next segment……

(running time 12:12)

(running time 6:25)
Segment 3
(running time 12:34)
Segment 4
(running time 7:10)

Callers:

  • Brandon – He blew fiberglass insulation into his roof after replacing a bunch of different types of existing insulation, but his home feels very humid now. What could it be?

Recommendation – Start with a whole house energy audit. He can contact REEis Air Conditioning & Home Performance or Green ID.

  • David – The plumbing in his master bathroom seems to be leaking. It only happens in the mornings, but spits water out and he’s not sure what to do.

Recommendation – Remove the shower head and just shower under the half inch pipe for a few days to see if it could be just the “water reducer” in the fixture.  He could just need a new shower head fixture.

  • Arthur – His 4 foot wall is showing a crack and it looks like it’s between the blocks and on both sides. Is there a way to cover it and not with just paint?

Recommendation – It’s small enough that he can use a good elastomeric caulk with sand in it to match the texture. Spray it out with air and then feather in the caulk with a sponge. Listen to Rosie’s description for the details.
