Why on a drought mandatory water restriction you can only water during certain times?
Q. Hello. I live around some counties where they have a water restriction because of a drought. Now why do they say only water during 6 to 10 and not on Mondays. What is up with that? Thanks!

A. because that is when the day is coming to an end and most people are winding the day down, they have had there showers and dinner buy 6ish, plus the day is cooling off and not as much of the water is being evaporated.

How can i help my maple tree recover from the drought?
Q. I had to move away for a short period, unfortunately my maple tree lost a good portion of leaves from the drought. I have been watering it since i've been back but it looks like i have lost half of the tree. Would it be better to cut it down and start over or should i wait until spring to see what to do?

A. Yeh Id leave it until spring, a feed of bonemeal added to the topsoil may help its roots - otherwise dont under or over water it & see what happens come spring.

how will I know if a severe drought has killed my trees?
Q. because of the severe drought we are having this year; I wonder how I will know if the dry weather has killed my trees. Right now most of them have lost all their leaves.
Asked by cat woman - Sat Sep 8 21:23:34 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. One season's drought is not enough to kill established, healthy trees. Give them a good soaking after the first hard frost so they don't go into winter terribly dry. Next spring, they're likely to be leafed out again. If next year is droughty, try to give them one good soaking a month.

We have also just experienced 14 days of extreme temperatures. Many were higher than 40 degrees celsius - Tuesday 27 Jan reached 45.6, the second hottest day ever. Today it was 43 before midday - the outside door to the office where I work was too hot to touch. So far, there have not been any fires near my home or work. Most of the major bushfires so far have been interstate in Victoria or New South Wales. The drought has been ongoing in SA since 2005 and does not show any signs of ending soon.

Even today, the Rio Grande is little more than a trickle, and the Colorado River routinely runs dry before it gets to the ocean.

Q. I've heard about some farmers in south west NSW (in Australia) growing a plant called saltbush all over their land because it survives in drought conditions and is good feed for their sheep. Can anyone tell me more about saltbush? If you grow it, or know people who grow it, how do you find its use and how tough is it? Is it grown in countries other than Australia too? Cheers :)

A. it grows in most countries. it can be used in salads and was used in southern Europe until other leafy veggies were introduced.

A. I just moved from the panhandle inwhich I lived there 9 years..also had land out by "econfina" The area you live in north of I-10 has a very shallow water table there..sea level about 17 feet above sea level...alot of springs too as you know throught that whole area..if not spring fed, there is definately a shallow water table that aids it, as well as rain..and yes..stream fed or not, the water level can definately drop if the evaporation rate is greater than int's inflow...

What are some tricks you have for surviving a dating drought?
Q. I recently stopped dating someone about 2 months ago and I've been so busy with school and work that I haven't had time to date. Now, I'm really starting to feel the drought wearing me down. I want to get back into the dating pool, but not if it means being desperate. What are some tricks you use to get thru periods of "focused singularity?"

A. For myself (when I was single) being a fairly good singer, I'd go to a busy karaoke place, pick an object of my admiration and sing a romantic ballad while pointedly looking directly at her. Else-wise, I'm also good at telling jokes. Those make wonderful ice breakers for easing into a relaxed conversation. Find some clever stories, practice them and use them. here's one i use a lot. "I don't know why I came out tonight. I kind of hurt after falling off that 30 foot ladder today!!" (Wait for the "OMG!" reaction) then say, "Lucky for me, I was standing on the bottom rung!"
