The Little Store That Went Away

Let me take you back to the days perfect gift when Flagstaff was a small town. When complaints were flying that you had to go to Phoenix if you wanted to shop. And when you could find a parking space downtown. I’m talking perfect gift about the time before the Flagstaff Mall, Wal- Mart, Kohlīs, and Target. Oh, there were still lots of stores, even some large chain stores like Long’s Drugs, Thrifty Drug, and Safeway. But there perfect gift were also lots of unique little stores owned by folks who lived and worked in Flagstaff .

But that was twenty-five plus years ago. The town has grown and times have changed. perfect gift Phoenix shopping has arrived in Flagstaff and has brought with it both the good and the bad. Prices, selection, and service have improved. Traffic has increased. Parking downtown is almost an impossibility. And perfect gift we’ve lost many of the unique little shops that once catered to the needs of Flagstaff and the surrounding area.

Blog Action Day-My contribution

How does gardening affect environmental conservation? Earth-friendly gardening makes the difference between polluting the air, ground, and water around you and your loved ones including pets perfect gift and wildlife. How you ask? Here are just a few examples:

Compost - using compost rather than fertilizers add nutrients to your soil without contamination. If you canīt build a compost area perfect gift outside, Mindy provides tips on creating a non-smelly version inside.

Mulch - using renewable resource mulch protects the eco-system. Rather than cypress mulch, try coir. The fibers come from the husk and perfect gift inside layers of the cocunut. It is free from bacteria, is environmentally friendly and renewable. Other choices include pine straw and the leaves fallen on the ground from your own trees. Mulch keeps perfect gift weeds under control and preserves moisture limiting water use.

Natural pest control - prevents leaching of chemicals into the ground and water and eliminates exposure to humans and animals. Mixtures of baking perfect gift soda and water or soap and water will control bugs such as aphids, mealybugs as well as fungus and powdery mildew. Beneficial insects such as ladybugs will do the same thing.

Lawn perfect gift mowers - choosing a push reel, cordless or electric mower prevents air pollution and the reliance on petroleum products all the while giving you great exercise.

Limit water use - planting drought perfect gift tolerant plants and mulching conserves water, protects the environment, and saves you some hard earned dollars.

To read many, many more examples of protecting our environment contributed by bloggers around the world, perfect gift go to .

Itīs important for all of us. Happy Gardening.

Speaking of bees

Have you heard about leafcutter bees? They cut pieces of leaves perfect gift to line their nests. I used to see holes missing from my rose leaves all the time when I lived up north but never knew exactly what was causing the damage. I just perfect gift happened across a 3 line note in a newspaper recently and was intrigued.

Pretty interesting fast facts about this insect:

they do not colonize like most bees; i.e., honeybees or wasps. perfect gift Female bees do all the work to create next areas and provide food for their babies

leafcutter bees nest in areas that are easy to excavate such as soft rotted wood or perfect gift pithy plants

leafcutters donīt eat the pieces of leaves they cut but carry them back to their next to use as nest cells. Each cell is then provided with a mixture of perfect gift nectar and pollen. The female lays an egg and seals each cell creating a nest tunnel. Each tunnel can contain a dozen or more cells forming a tube up to 8 inches in perfect gift length. The bee babies will develop in the cells and emerge in the next season.

they are considered important pollinators of wildflowers, fruits and vegetables, and are common in the US.

perfect gift my favorite fact - leafcutter bees are not aggressive toward people and will only sting if handled.

Bees are fascinating creatures, arenīt they? Happy Gardening and special thanks to Rick at Order perfect gift of the Bath for the picture.

National perfect gift Toilet Repair Month

What do National Toilet Repair Month and gardening have in common? Well, itīs about water conservation. In the garden we try to plant drought tolerant and native plants that perfect gift require less water use. Same thing in our homes - we find ways to reduce water usage such as fixing a leaking faucet or toilet. Why you ask? Two reasons - it supports perfect gift the environment and saves money, and who wouldnīt want to do both?

According to the IATP Trade Observatory, a leaking toilet can be one of the greatest sources of water waste in perfect gift the home using up to 78,000 gallons of water a year or the equivalent of enough water to fill two average- size backyard swimming pools. The Environmental Protection Agency tells us that the perfect gift typical single-family suburban household uses at least 30 percent of their water outdoors for irrigation. Some experts estimate that more than 50 percent of landscape water use goes to waste due to evaporation perfect gift or runoff caused by overwatering.

For more information about water conservation in the garden, visit the USDAīs Natural Resources Conservation Service. To learn more about limiting water usage in your home, visit perfect gift the EPAīs links page. If itīs specifically your toilet that needs repair, visit Fluidmaster for the how-tos including how to find a good plumber. And, just for fun, try taking the EPAīs online perfect gift water quiz. Itīs fun and a great way to learn more. Not to brag but I scored 765, making me a WaterSense Expert. Whatīs your score? Happy Gardening and donīt call the plumber perfect gift pictured here. I donīt think heīd be much help.
