The City of Monterey has some advice with regard to watering your lawn. They suggest that grass only needs watering every five to seven days. Of course, if there is a heavy rain you can put off that watering. It’s also better to water lawns in the early morning hours to prevent evaporation. If you’re someone who turns on the garden hose and lets it run don’t forget to turn it off. That hose can pour out up to 600 gallons of water in just under an hour. Imagine that on your water bill!
As far as cutting the grass is concerned, the recommendations are to raise your blade to at least three inches. A high lawn promotes deep root growth which in turn helps the soil to hold onto moisture. That’s going to mean less run off. If you’ve got a mower with a stuck blade that can’t be adjusted it might be time to send that gadget to the lawnmower graveyard. When Junk King Monterey picks up an old lawnmower that “graveyard” is usually a recycling center. All that good metal can be melted down and poured into new molds. There is no telling what your old lawnmower can be turned into. One thing is for sure, you’ll have a much better time cutting your grass when you’ve got a sharp blade and new model mower.
Having Junk King take away your old mower means they will load it up on their truck alongside any other bulky item you want tossed away. Why stop with the mower when you can also clean out your garage, closets and attic? Just how quick did you fill up those spaces after moving into your home? Hopefully, you didn’t bring any of your old junk with you in the move. If so, then you really need to set up an appointment with Junk King Monterey. Look at it this way; if you still have boxed packed up it’s clear you don’t need any of that junk. Just to be sure, take a quick peek inside the boxes then set them aside for Junk King to take away.
Because you’ll have a hard working Junk King crew at your disposal you can get them to move out all kinds of heavy items like old furniture, washing machines or bureaus. All you’ll be doing is pointing out what you want taken away. You’re back will be spared when the JK crew does the lifting. Removing all the clutter from your home is a great way to kick off the fall. Do it the right way with Junk King.
Are you ready for a new washing machine and dryer? If you’ve noticed that your current model is spending more spin cycles not spinning or the clothes aren’t coming out as clean as they should then perhaps this is the season when you’ll be making the upgrade. Before heading out to the appliance store you’ll want to consider the three main factors for picking the perfect washer/dryer combo for you: Space, convenience and cost.
There is an offshoot of the recycling philosophy that you might be using and not even know it. This is “upcycling” which basically means repurposing a disposable item. With true recycling items like paper, plastic or aluminum are grinded down into pulp and then mixed into a slurry the reconstitutes them as raw material to be used again. Upcycling is repurposing without the grinding.
The Monterey City Disposal Service has some helpful hints for anyone who is moving into a new home or apartment. For instance, they recommend that if you know you have a move coming up you should start collecting useful items like empty boxes, bubble wrap or anything else you might use to wrap up your fragile items. The goal would be for you to reuse the kinds of boxes that are thrown out by stores instead of buying them new. They also recommend that when you change your address with the Post Office just file it as a temporary change versus a permanent change. This is because the U.S. Postal Service sells lists of permanent addresses to junk mail marketers but they don’t do so with temporary addresses. Thanks Postal Service!
