July is the beginning of the so-called Northern New Mexico “monsoon” season, when this area gets much of its moisture for the growing year. Many folks come into Payne’s stores looking for tips on water harvesting.
One of the best and easiest ways to take advantage of the season is to place a Payne's rain barrel beneath a canale or gutter spout. Then, when you are ready to water your yard or plants, simply attach a hose to the built-in spigot and let gravity take over, sending your free water to thirsty grass, trees, plants and shrubs. (For info on using gray water systems in Northern New Mexico, click here.)
Trees add beauty and substance to a home landscape. They protect us from the summer sun and from the prying eyes of neighbors; give wild birds a place to roost and nest; and depending upon the variety, can provide us with lovely flowers, enchanting fragrance, and luscious fruit. Trees are also a big investment. So it makes sense to treat them well from day one.
One of gardening’s greatest principles is expressed in the maxim, “Don’t stick a $100 tree into a $10 hole.” How you prepare your planting site, and how you handle your tree during the planting, can make a big difference in the life and health of your tree for years to come.
