Colorado watering guidelines for new trees

Have you ever wondered how much water you need for your new trees?
Follow this simple guideline for the first two or three seasons after you plant a tree. (This guide line is good for trees planted in Colorado or other area with similar climates)
Watering session is 10 gallons of water per 1 inch diameter (trunk of the tree) Example: A 3" tree trunk needs 30 gallons per watering session.

Spring: (Mar/May) one watering session every other week
Summer: (Jun/Aug) one watering session every other day
Fall: (Sep/Nov) one watering session every other week
Winter: (Dec/Feb) one watering session every month (if no measurable snow)

Centennial is a Home Rule City by a 2-1 margin

The unofficial results from the June 10 mail-in ballot show the measure to institute Centennial's proposed home-rule charter passed resoundingly by a greater than 2-1 margin."My biggest comment is woohoo!" said an elated Cathy Noon, chair of the elected Centennial Charter Commission, which drafted the municipal constitution."I just want to say this is the most wonderful news for all of us," she told a roomful of cheering commissioners, city officials and other home-rule supporters at a victory party.The mood there already was ecstatic by 7:30 p.m., when initial results showed the charter passing by some 7,000 votes - a far cry from the razor-thin 316-vote margin that created the charter commission last November.Many on both sides of the contentious debate over home rule had predicted a close call either way, and few were certain that the charter would pass at all."I thought it would be closer than this," Noon said. "But I started to get a feeling ...

Know your rights: New Foreclosure Law Changes in Colorado

Image
For foreclosures started after January 1 2008, the owner no longer has a post-foreclosure sale redemption right. The time allotted to the owner as a post-sale redemption period has been moved prior to the sale, giving owners a longer period of time to cure, and no right to redeem. In the new system, an owner has approximately four months to cure a default in a foreclosure of non-agricultural property, and approximately seven to eight months to cure in a foreclosure of agricultural property. Better lender responsiveness for cure figures: The new statute requires the foreclosing lender to provide cure figures to borrowers in a more timely manner. Consider a situation where shortly after a lender commences a foreclosure, the borrower files a notice of intent to cure. Under the old statute, a lender could provide cure figures as late as the seventh calendar day prior to the foreclosure sale. If, under the new statute, the borrower files a notice of intent to cure early enough so that the ...
