Here's Randy's Weekly KTRH GardenLine Tip:

Issue #204

There have been so many times when I've looked at a product or service (especially those offered to GardenLine listeners) and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

First, let me remind you that nobody pays me a dime to do these weekly e-mail blasts. No one drives the content based on advertising dollars, either. I do them because I think they work well with the radio show. So, when I tell you I'm excited about a new product or service ... or I tell you exactly what products to use at what time of the year ... I really mean it. In these newsletters and on the air, I always give you an honest commentary you won't find anywhere else.

Now that I've laid all those marketing and opinion cards on the table, let me introduce you to www.FogMyYard.com

When my friends at Unique Outdoor Illumination and Mosquito Pros (who install mosquito misting systems) told me about their new idea, I can honestly say the first thing that came out of my mouth was, "What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that years ago?"

Here's why I like this idea so much. Fogging for mosquitoes and other unwanted insects has always been a great quick fix. I've been known to do it myself. But keeping foggers maintained in your garage has always been an iffy proposition. So if you're having a big outdoor party, cookout, wedding, reception or other event at your place, it just makes sense to have someone else do it.

You won't have to buy a fogger, buy a propane tank, and find the perfect fogging oil to go in it. A great solution if you only need a fogging a couple times a year. (If you find, however, that you need fogging frequently throughout year, then a misting system might actually be for you. While misting systems don't "fog," they employ the same concepts in mosquito control.)

There are other benefits to using a FogMyYard treatment from Unique Outdoors. For instance, their fogging lasts for 3-4 weeks, while home fogger results might last for 2 weeks. It also penetrates breeding areas you may not see or know about, it dries in under an hour, and it does not leave any noxious odors. Plus, there are no annoying contracts like those with pest control companies, so you can do it one time or do it as a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly service. It's totally up to you.

And here's the best news for GardenLine fans: Unique Outdoors will give you a "Randy Lemmon Discount," and I think it is an exceptional deal. GardenLine listeners and e-mail tip subscribers get their first treatment for $75. Wow! The regular price is $129. Just call 713-849-3903 after you've seen the video at www.FogMyYard.com. Be sure to mention GardenLine for the discount, and get it booked before the first mosquito infestation hits. This is Houston, and that means it's not a matter of IF you're going to have mosquitoes, it's only a matter of WHEN.

By the way, you can also check out this fogging idea at the Cy-Fair Home & Garden Show this weekend at the Berry Center on Barker-Cypress.

Cy-Fair Home & Garden Show - Saturday & Sunday, Berry Center I will be broadcasting GardenLine live from the Cy-Fair Home & Garden Show on Saturday, and I'm havinging a book-signing at the show on Sunday.

The most important things about this home and garden show:

1. It's the last home and garden show of the season and, consequentially, our last broadcast from one this spring.
2. Parking is free
3. You can meet many GardenLine partners there
4. It's the last possible chance to get my two books together for the $25 deal.

The new book retails for $14.99 all over town, and the old book still sells for $19.95. But for this event only — and I promise this is the absolute last time the old book will sold in this deal — they are only $15 each, or the pair for $25. And on Saturday, while supplies last, you will also be able to snatch some free product samples. That means you could snag two books and a much-needed garden product that could all retail together for $50-$55, but for only $25.

I'm also hopeful we can introduce the all-new Micro Life Minis. Many of you that know how well Micro Life fertilizers work, but some who have small yards or gardens have asked for smaller bags of this great product. So, the folks at San Jacinto Environmental have delivered. Start looking for Micro Life Minis at retail garden centers very soon. I'm hoping we will have some to give away this weekend.
