Sprinkler Systems Made Easy
Underground sprinkler systems are an efficient and convenient way to water your lawn. Advances in technology have created sprinklers that can deliver water more precisely than ever. This we we'll get you started designing and installing your very own sprinkler system.
Different parts of your property may require different types of sprinkler setups to be effectively watered. If you have a large expanse of thirsty lawns and plants, a traditional sprinkler system may still be the right choice for you. The type of soil, the size of the area being watered, and the amount of saturation desired are all factors that play an important part in choosing which sprinkler system you should choose.

Question of the Day
Q. I placed a poinsettia on a piece of wood furniture. The plant developed white flies, so I threw it out. However, either the flies or the plant left a sticky residue on the wood furniture. I have tried various wood cleaning products with no success. I do not want to damage the finish, which I believe is polyurethane. How can I clean the plant residue off?A. Mix a solution of vinegar and water. Generally, one tablespoon of vinegar to a quart of water is sufficient. Dip a soft, white cloth in the solution, and rub a small area at a time until the surface is dry. Always rub with the grain.

Tips and Tricks
Seeds Need a Light DietStart seeds indoors before transplanting outside. An ordinary florescent light fixture works for growing seedlings. The intensity of the lights should consist of one warm white and another cool white or daylight to give the right amount of light. They should be kept 3 inches from the tops of the seedlings.
