How is your garden growing? On the average there are just a handful of rainy days in Stockton during the month of February. This means you’ll be able to sneak in some garden work in preparation for spring. Whether you are looking to overhaul your garden completely or just add a few new plants it’s best to get started early and make sure everything is in place for the warmer weather.
Perhaps this will be the season when you decide to add a small orange or lemon tree to your backyard. It’s not that hard to plant a tree. You need to dig a hole that is twice as wide but just as deep as the tree’s root ball. If the area where you’re digging this hole is mostly clay or compacted dirt then you should dig it three times as big to give the roots more room to grow.
Next, place the root ball of the tree or shrub into the hole you dug. The top of the root ball should be even with the top of your hole. Refill the hole with about two thirds of soil, water it and let it settle. You’ll then want to add a thick layer of mulch to help keep in the moisture. In these first initial weeks if there is no rain make sure you’re adding more water to give your tree nourishment.
Stockton is considered a warm weather zone. This means you don’t have to be worried so much about frost warnings and should instead focus on the kind of warm season type of flowers such as violas, snapdragons, calendulas and primroses. These are the type of plants that under provide instant bursts of color. When shopping at your local nursery make sure you’re getting healthy plants. You need to inspect the plant from all sides. One tip to remember is that a plant which has many blooms in the store might look pretty but could end up going into shock once it has been transplanted. If you come across a plant that has roots growing out of the pot it’s assigned it has been in the pot too long.
Before any planting you’ll need to clear the yard. This could mean pulling up weeds or getting rid of all kinds of debris that is built up over the last few months. California is a prime Palm tree growing environment. But those Palm trees can also wreak havoc as their fronds fall to the ground in heavy storms. Just because you want to take a lot of pride in your garden doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone especially when it comes to the removal of big objects like falling tree branches or clumps of dug up sod. For that kind of removal you should call upon the services of professional junk haulers like Junk King Stockton. While it might seem odd to call junk haulers to take away dirt it actually makes perfectly good sense. They have the muscle and they have the truck so why not let them do the work!
The awareness surrounding the issue of hoarding has grown since the reality series “Hoarders” and “Hoarders: Buried Alive” have gained in popularity. As a result, more folks are confronting their own hoarding tendencies and wondering whether or not it will ever get as bad as it shown on reality TV.
Beginning back in October of 2010 the Department of Planning and Public Works which is a Division of Integrated Waste Management hosted a free tire recycling event. This was funded by a grant provided by the department a resources recycling and recovery. Over the course of the next several months five separate tire recycling events were held where a total of over 6,368 tires were collected by local residents and businesses. That’s great news for the Stockton area because it means that all of those tires didn’t end up in a landfill or dumped by the side of the road. Instead they were taken to a proper facility where they could be melted down and repurposed. But there was a problem that crept up and that was running out of grant money. In fact so many tires were brought to the previous events that last scheduled tire recycling event had to be canceled.
Starting in November California banks scheduled over 26,000 homes to be sold in foreclosure auctions. That represents a 63% increase over the amount of foreclosed auctions held in October. There are no signs that this surge is going to diminish in the coming year as California has the dubious honor of ranking among the nation’s largest number of foreclosed properties. Yet even with all that doom and gloom there is some good news to extract. While it is true that those homeowners will have a blemish on their credit history they will also have the opportunity to start fresh and rebuild their financial security. We would all be better off if we live within our means. On the other hand, all of those foreclosed property auctions means that somebody is buying up those properties and intends to make them viable once again.

One of the leading indicators as to how well our economy is doing can be determined by how well our construction industries are doing. In other words, when folks are building things we all benefit. This doesn’t just have to be factories or offices but really it’s the building of new homes that is a leading economic indicator.
Along with eating, drinking, and breathing there is one activity we all share in common and that is going to sleep at night. While it is true that some of us work a graveyard shift and do our sleeping during the day eventually we’re going to hit the pillow in the hopes of several hours of uninterrupted rest. In many ways this makes our bed one of the most important pieces of furniture in our homes. It’s also something we take for granted. This is especially true for anyone who is been sleeping in a bed with a mattress that is at least five years old or older. If that’s the case then you are way beyond time to replace that old mattress. You might be surprised how much benefit you can actually get out of a new mattress. This is due in no small part to the advances that have been made in mattress design.
