koolarry : Boy things (my plants) are growing slow this year. the weather has messed up everything!
K. Sirah Sirah : I agree with you Cozette and Mickystyx - the photos have been amazing! Really difficult to cast one vote on a favorite...hmmm
Roz : I planted Italian Cypress which grew fast and blocked out the neighbors, they also don't require much water
greengina : I need some recommendations on a super fast growing hedge. I live in hot dry San Fernando valley and I have the neighbors from hell. I cannot puit up more than a 3 foot fence but I can grow a big hedge. Please help!!!
Greendini : You may need to put in a soaker hose or apply a liquid surfactant/gypsum to allow the water to move through the soil better. Call a nursery professional for more advice.
Greendini : Personal opinion on drip irrigation: It doesn't work as efficiently as people think.There's a whole volume of physics involved with how water moves through the soil.
plantnerd : Nevermind. I found it!
plantnerd : where can i see the photos for this week's photo contest?
