Caryopteriswithskippersm.jpg

As always, Don Shor and Lois Richter start by answering current questions. Then the main portion of this show is especially timely in May 2021 as we review "12 Tips For Low Water Gardening."

What are those 12 tips? 1. Water right. 2. Zone your plants by water need. 3. Water thoroughly. 4. Mulch well, mulch wisely. 5. Water your fruit trees like an orchard! 6. Reduce your lawn area. 7. Maybe get a "Smart timer." 8. Change your type of grass. 9. Rethink your lawn: consider a meadow. 10. Choose plants that use less water. 11. Consider California and southwestern [and other "Mediterranian" climate] native plants. 12. Think local -- use UCD Arboretum resources! Bonus 13th tip: Don't forget succulents!

Davisville, May 10, 2021: Meaningful work, plus a very cool job title

Mon, 05/10/2021 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Putah Creek at Winters bridge 050121.JPG

Putah Creek in Yolo County is much better off than it was a generation ago, and Rich Marovich’s job is part of the reason why. He’s the creek’s streamkeeper, and his work has involved him in everything from restoration projects to the removal of trash and derelict cars from the channel. On today’s show we talk about his work, some of the legal clashes in its history, upcoming improvements the public can enjoy, the return of the salmon, and his favorite locations ... and I wonder how Davis might be different today if Putah hadn't been diverted away from our river-less town in the 19th century. Imagine a riverfront in central Davis.

The start of the program refers to the 1969 hit song written by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, inspired by his memories of playing by Putah Creek as a boy. Here's more about the song, "Green River."

Good morning — we’ve got a special edition of Jazz After Dark today. Call it Jazz in the Morning, to start the local broadcast day at KDRT FM in Davis on this Big Day of Giving in the Sacramento/Yolo County area.

Local nonprofit organizations come together on BDOG to raise funds through one site, one big push, one easy way to help support those local community organizations that do so much. Nonprofits took a big hit with the pandemic, unable to run their usual public fund appeals and activities.

If you like local radio, community radio, then head on over to bigdayofgiving.org/DavisMedia to contribute. Anytime today, any amount.
