THINGS TO DO AROUND WESTPORT, MA AREA
HomeTips and Events Newsletter by Karen Martin
* Westport • Dartmouth • Fall River, MA * Tiverton, RI July 2025
SUMMER GARDEN TIP
Smart Watering-Early & Deep
Water or Set sprinklers for before 8 a.m. and water longer but less frequently. Early watering soaks roots while minimizing evaporation, saves on your water bill and discouraging the mildew that can creep into lawns and foundations when evenings stay too damp.
PERSONAL HOME TIP FROM KAREN,
Our TV and Dish receiver was hit by Lightening! Tis the Season !
The Dish tech said all my electronics should be on a Surge Protector to protect from lightening and surges after the storm. The tech said if lightening strikes or you have a surge when power comes back on, it will take out the surge protector but protect your tv, laptop, phone etc.
We have surge protectors now to avoid costly replacements. Even my phone charger and laptop charger are now plugged into a Surge Protector.
