Re: Part I -- When The Well Runs Dry

We, as a nation, are the most wasteful people in the history of our planet. People in this country will only change their lifestyle when the last drop of oil is pumped out of the ground or all of our fresh water is gone. Until then we'll keep on driving big vehicles and water our lawns regardless if it needs water. That's one extreme. The other is let's murder our lawns. That's pretty extreme too. The answer is use common sense! Don't water when it's raining or at noon when it's 100 degrees.
Don't make us lawn lovers feel guilty. You're damn right my lawn is a statement. I worked hard to get a great lawn. I know how to manage my green space organically and use my 10 zone irrigation system when needed. My landscape is full of wonderful bee, butterfly, and bird attracting plants. My yard is my oasis.
Personally I think annual flowers are a GIGANTIC waste of money, time, soil, and WATER!!!!
Now get off the computer and do some gardening!
