FALLBROOK — Local organization Save Our Forest has an urgent message for area residents with trees that were damaged by the recent wildfire: No matter how burned they look, don’t cut them down or severely cut them back. Fallbrook is known for its ancient oaks and sycamores. After wildfires, they can appear to be scorched beyond saving, but their natural defense systems will usually bring them back. When a fire occurs during a dormant period for the trees – fall and winter – signs of recovery could be months away, in the spr...
I cannot begin to tell you what a joyous pleasure it has been to write this garden article every other week this year.

We are going to take a break over the holidays and resume the articles in late January. We are not going to repeat this year’s information; instead, we are publishing the entire set of garden articles in a small book, called “Organic Garde...

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been on the market for several years now. They use dramatically less energy to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb – 15 watts/hour for the light of a 60-watt bulb; 23 watts for the light of a 100-watt bulb – and save 2,000 times their weight in greenhouse gases over the life of the bulb. CFLs reduce your electric bill, your carbon footprint, and your out-of-pocket expenses, because they last three to five times longer than incandescent bulbs. Yet they still haven’t ca... Full story
