Thread Name: BS: How does your garden grow?
Subject: RE: BS: How does your garden grow?
The largest part of my yard is toast, but I water around the base of the house to keep the foundation in place, so there is "lawn" (grass and weeds) there. There are a couple of native groundcovers (horseherb and frogfruit) growing as much as I can encourage it, to gradually crowd out the turf.
My vegetable garden is struggling with the heat and there are more grasshoppers this year. I water deeply and infrequently (so for the veggies, a deep watering about once a week, and buckets of gray water from dish washing poured over them for a quick rescue if they're wilting too badly during the day).
