When It Rains It Pours: Lawns Your Eco-Friendly Choice When It Rains
I get a kick out of how little patience Angelinos have when it rains. First, we chant the unofficial California anthem “we need the rain, we need rain…” then when a little moisture falls from the heavens after a day...

When singer-songwriter David Gates of the band Bread wrote “IF” in 1971 it became a thought provoking message of contemplation. The lyrics, “If a picture paints a thousand words then why can’t I paint you?” Makes you wonder if you’re...
Drought Info “They” Don’t Want You to Know
By now, you’re well aware southern California is experiencing what is considered “The Worst Drought In History.” I chuckle at the sensationalism of the headlines because in 1980, ‘they’ were screaming the same thing. Back in those days, I was...

It seems there’s a lot of controversy on how you spell the G-word but the one thing that’s for sure experts all agree it can be recycled and reused on the lawn and garden. It was the late 70’s when...
