  • ABCWUA says: time to increase watering

    • April 01, 2010
    • in your outer spaces!
    Instead of mandating days to water for the residents of Albuquerque, the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) leaves the scheduling to you. Pick your days to water, and use their guidelines for irrigation if at all possible.
    NOTE - when establishing new perennials, trees or other plants, it is not advised that the watering schedule is limited to these few days. Water as indicated for the new additions, and disregard the regular recommendations for watering established plants.

    WATERING A LANDSCAPE WITH DRIP IRRIGATION:

    MARCH: water once per week
    APRIL & MAY: water twice per week
    JUNE, JULY, AUGUST: water three times per week
    SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER: water two times per week
    NOVEMBER: water once a week
    in winter!
    DECEMBER - FEBRUARY... be sure to water 1-2 times per month, but be careful to avoid watering when extreme cold is present or is expected.
    Also remember, if areas are not heavily mulched for winter, cover a more tender plant to protect it from those extremes.

    2010 Local Food Festival and Field Day
    Healthy Land, Healthy Food, Healthy People       dsc08211.jpg

    Join us on Sunday June 6th, from 11 am to 4 pm, at the Historic Gutierrez-Hubbell House and Demonstration Farm, for the third annual Local Food Festival and Field Day.

    Calling all vendors! Online vendor registration is now available for the 2010 Local Food Festival and Field Day.  The registration deadline is April 30th.

    Celebrating Food from the Ground Up

    The Local Food Festival and Field Day, a celebration of food from the ground up, is an annual event highlighting local food and agriculture in our region. The festival is organized by the MRCOG Agriculture Collaborative in partnership with a variety of local groups and organizations.

    The continued success of this event reflects the ever increasing demand for local agriculture, locally produced foods and gardening related activities. Many festival attendees have stated that they are now more willing to seek out New Mexico food products and to shop at area farmers’ markets. Others have indicated a new interest in growing more food and including more fresh and local foods as a part of their regular diet.

    Connecting the public with local growers, producers, and businesses is crucial in sustaining local agriculture. The Local Food Festival and Field Day provides one step in helping to make those connections.

    Eat, Learn, Enjoy, Celebrate

    No matter what your age or interests, the Local Food Festival and Field Day has something for everyone.
