This week, Randy and Mary brave the heat to discuss home irrigation and cooling. With a record number of days over 105 degrees in Austin, the team gets real about air conditioners' capacity to overcome the temperature delta and how you can improve your cooling output by selecting air filters with the proper MERV rating. Randy gives us a science lesson in evaporation, transpiration, and percolation to help determine when and how to water for those under restrictions, and Mary wonders if Funky Cold Medina could be just what your yard really needs.
