With all the rain we have been blessed with, somehow the city of Jefferson has managed to let their water supply go nearly dry. From the road it looks half full ( or half empty). I know I read about them cleaning out some silt but I don’t think turning the watershed into a dirt track was part of the plan. I’d love to hear the explanation on this story. I’d also like to point out that the lake was nearly dry a couple years back when the drought first hit Georgia. But the story I heard was that beaver dams were a major part of the problem. After some government worker figured out the problem and they fixed it, the lake filled up quickly before we got any significant rain. I’m glad bureaucrats are in control of water supplies.

Bad Water Maysville, GA
For those who don’t know. Commerce provides Maysville with our water so when their water is bad then so is ours. They say it should be cleared up (bad taste) by now but we will see. Bad water is especially bad when our rates are going up.
Free sod in Georgia
If you have a few spots you want to put down some sod onto but don’t want to spend any dollars, try to get it for free. Some sod farms will give away the pieces that are not square when they are cutting it. You have to load it yourself but it is a great way to get free grass. Just google sod farms northeast GA. There is even one in my small town of Maysville, GA.
Lawn Equipment Care
If you do your own lawn it is important to change air filters, fuel filters, oil, and spark plugs on a regular basis. It will save you huge dollars and time in the future. If you skip maintenance because you have no time to do it, then when will you have time to repair the equipment?
Deals on Plants Georgia
The big stores like Home Depot have great deals on flowers to get you in the door. However if you check out local flea markets you can find some better deals from local growers who are looking to make some extra money. We picked up a Japanese Maple for $8 a few weeks ago at the J&J Flea Market in Athens GA.
