Water restriction and soak hoses sales

 

Why Soak hoses
1. it doesn't make noise
2. it doesn't spray mist, no water over run
3. it actually works

# # # #

Texas encounters serious drought.  The water usage is up due to hot temperature, but it also endangers the drinking water supply for entire city solely on ground water (San Antonio).

The water restriction prohibits use of sprinkler systems.  In order to keep the grass and trees alive, soak hoses are tools used by many to discretely watering plant at night without raising suspicion of inspectors.

Keeping trees and shrubs alive is quite different from keeping grass green.  If I come across a "lively" yard - I can only suspect the owner has been watering, regardless whether using sprinklers, hand held hoses, or soak hoses.

How to balance soak hoses?

1. Use Y connector, and regular garden hose as extenders. to balance out the water pressure.

Real MPG, Even used SUV/Pickup Truck Drivers are Rich

Real cost of driving an SUV/Pickup Truck

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
F-150 v8 4.6L has a real life 16MPG
Accord 2.4L has a real life - 28MPG

A typical F-150 XLT pickup truck runs over $30,000
A typical Accord EX sedan runs about $24,000

Assuming that both vehicles have same residual value, then
over a 180,000 miles lifetime and at an average fuel cost of $3.30 gallon
Ford Truck = fuel 37,125 + truck costs 30,000/tax = 69,000
Honda Car =  fuel 21,215 + car costs 24,000/tax  =   46,700
 
Assuming that both vehicles have same residual value, then
Even driving a used pickup truck with 100,000 miles/trade in @ 200,000, it is the real kicker

Ford Truck = fuel 20,625 + truck costs 12,000//tax-3,000 trade in =30,400Honda Car =  fuel 11,800 + car costs 24,000/tax - 7,700 trade in =  29,650

What do you expect for your MPG?

On an average of 18,000 miles a year, a typical SUV will consume 900 gallons a year or more.  A typical bread-n-butter family sedans consume 600 gallons or less.  The difference of $500 10 years ago ($1.75 gallon) was worth the "fun, enjoyment".  At the current rate of $3.50 gallon, or $4.00 gallon, the difference become $1000, $1200 a year. That's $100 a month more on gas.

Getting more than 30 mpgs require some serious trade-off.  Want to give up the size? Want to give up the comforts?

At 40mpg, it saving translates to (18,000/30 - 18,000/40) 150 gallons or $500 a year.  It's kind of same questions, want fun/size for $1000 more or give up some comforts/size to save $500?

Chinquapin & Bur Oak leaves turning yellow

Lack of water!

The 25-30 ft tall oak tress leaves turning yellow in hot Texas heat.  The mature trees should be able to weather out the drought, but it isn't always the case.

The leaves turning yellow quick!  The lush green, become just greenish after 1 months of hot weather and no rain.  The greenish leaves became yellow green in 2 months and start to brown out shortly after that.

Dumping 300-500 hundred gallons of water along the drip lines every other days for a week seems to have saved the trees.
