Ok I know this isnt meant for gardens but then again there is no section for gardens. Well this is what interests me besides my pet fish.
I use to have this nice and clean till the gophers came along. I paniced most of the plants went into pots I ran low on money my project came to a hault. Thanks to some recent sales at Walmart I bought some big tubs for $5 and now im gonna replant my big Agave's in there and bury the tubs in the ground to prevent sun damage and to make the plants look like there plants in the ground.
For those who dont know what a Xeriscape is this is a deff provided by Wikepedia.
Xeriscaping and xerogardening refers to landscaping and gardening in ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental water from irrigation. It is promoted in regions that do not have easily accessible, plentiful, or reliable supplies of fresh water, and is gaining acceptance in other areas as climate patterns shift.
The word xeriscaping is a portmanteau of xeros (Greek for "dry") and landscaping, and Xeriscape is used for this style of garden.
Plants whose natural requirements are appropriate to the local climate are emphasized, and care is taken to avoid losing water to evaporation and run-off. While many Denver Water employees helped coin the term xeriscape, Xeriscape and the xeriscape logo are not registered trademarks of Denver Water, the water department of Denver, Colorado.[1] They were created by the Front Range Xeriscape Task Force of Denver Department in 1978.[1] The specific plants used in xeriscaping depend upon the climate. Some common plants used in Western xeriscaping are agave, cactus, lavender, juniper, sedum and thyme.
In some areas, terms such as water-conserving landscapes, drought-tolerant landscaping, zeroscaping, and smart scaping are used instead.
