- I use white stones on walking paths so I can see then at night with just a little moon light.
- If you do lay out a drive, use big rock, 1 1/2 inch as the first layer and let your traffic push it down.
- There is nothing wrong with airtight buildings, just make sure you have an air transfer system that captures heat.
- If your mower is throwing up dust, you are not cutting grass.

I'd really love to plant some here, but fear it won't thrive without more shelter....maybe in a year or two. It's quite expensive and so difficult to choose something that will be useful enough, but still survive.
Nancy Reading wrote:Is there any chance of getting more mulch around the plants? Just a thought, but it might help reduce a bit of evaporation whilst you have this hot weather. Reducing shelter for vermin may be more of a priority.

Lorinne Anderson wrote:LOVE your garbage can irrigation system! Such a simple solution to what is commonly a challenging issue.
IF you went with a larger cube container, in the bed of the truck I am assuming you have, we just picked up a battery operated "stick pump" (sold for fuel transfers, but works just as well for water) that would allow you to pump the water out into a second cube, if gravity didn't work.
