President’s Message Justin Johnson HBAL President It was an honor to be installed as your 2016 president at the January General Membership Meeting. It’s a true privilege to be part of such a great association. My thanks to all who were able to attend and congratulations to all the award winners. A special thanks to Mike May for his extraordinary service to our association in 2015. HBAL is truly blessed to have so many who step up and volunteer their time for the common good of the association. I look forward to doing my part and ask you to join me in any way you can.

We have a great 2016 schedule in store at HBAL. Two major events are just around the corner. Our premier event, The Nebraska Home & Garden Show, will be held February 12-14 at the Lancaster Event Center. This is our 44th show and booths are filling up quickly so call today before they’re sold out. Our 8th annual Chili Cook-off to benefit the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation is scheduled for the evening of March 14th at the Shrine Center. Join the competition and reserve your FREE booth today or let HBAL do the cooking and bring the whole family – my kids look forward to this event every year.

My hope for you in 2016 is to be safe, productive and profitable. I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the year at our various events and encourage you to take full advantage of your membership today.

The Renegade Gardener™ Top 10 Gardening & Landscaping Blunders—and How to Avoid Them!

Sure, gardening is fun, soothing, enriching and all of that, but don’t always believe it when you see a landscaping project described as “easy,” or a plant touted as “foolproof.” Fact is, gardening is a lifelong learning process that involves more than a little guesswork, serendipity, and experimentation. Down the road, every gardener is sure to discover that startling success sometimes goes hand-in-hand with staggering failure.

Don Engebretson, The Renegade Gardener, wants to help gardeners severely limit the “staggering failure” part of the equation, and does so in his presentation, “Top 10 Gardening & Landscaping Blunders—and How to Avoid Them.”

Don’s list is a like a bestseller list, with mistakes dropping off while new ones are added, reflecting the continued growth of gardening as American’s number one leisure time activity. To make his list, three important criteria apply: First, it must be a common mistake, as common as crabgrass. Second, the blunder must impart a truly gruesome effect on one’s landscape. Third, and most important, it must be a blunder that Don has made—at least twice—during his 20+ years as a gardener!

With a strong emphasis on design do’s and don’ts, audiences leave the presentation with a firm understanding of how to create a functional, beautiful landscape on their property.

Common Gardening Myths and the Mayhem They Cause They are as common as deer, as persistent as Japanese Beetles and as tough to wipe out as Creeping Charley: erroneous myths about garden plants, products and procedures that cost gardeners time and money while actually harming the look and health of their gardens.

In this fast-paced primer, Don dispenses the false notions created by common gardening myths by replacing error with the truth about fertilizers, wood mulch, landscape fabric, chemical products, lawn mower settings, planting procedures, soil amendments, and a dozen more.

YBP Holiday Party

For those of you working a booth at the Nebraska Builders Home & Garden Show, I look forward to seeing you at the Exhibitor Reception on Friday night. With all the work that goes into the show, it’s nice to take a break and enjoy some drinks with our fellow exhibitors. If you’re not part of the show, I hope you are able to come out and walk through the show floor and see the latest and greatest.

Turn the cost of a ground source heat pump from good gracious to good value.

There’s no disputing ground source heat pumps are pricey. Or that they’re extremely efficient and save a lot of energy. That’s why they qualify for a 30% federal tax credit. And why, through our Sustainable Energy Program, LES offers homebuilders significant financial incentives to install them. Whether you keep these incentives or pass them on to clients, you’ll help save energy, reduce environmental impact and delay the need to build expensive power plants. Visit LES.com/SEP or call 402.475.4211 for complete details.
