I need to retain about 2- 5 gal buckets or so of a roughly 3/4 inch grade of what I believe is a Sedona Red (obtained from Chandler Rock). Clean, very attractive. The REST OF IT is completely FREE to whoever helps me simply scrape off the site & then hauls the rock away (It is an off red or orangish color--one of their more popular, I believe). I have maybe 250 SF or so of this at probably at least 2inches thick...

Tucson Set to Move Forward On New Commercial Development Rainwater Requirement...

This was originally set in motion previously by a legislator who visited Brad Lancaster's Rainwater capturing development but I thought I would forward this new March 1st article in azcapitoltimes. Although we receive less frequent rainfall in Metro Phoenix, we certainly should be applying these same methods. I'd give Brad and his accomplices a pulitzer--I just think that work is so important.

Eradicating some more of my gravel rock garden area in favor of a more natural; cooler wood chip section. Anyone know where I may obtain either of these items ??


Thanks !

Hi Jeff,

Thank you - glad you liked my website. I'm always happy to answer questions about growing and using herbs and other edibles in our beautiful (but currently soggy) desert gardens! So far every herb I have tried to grow I have found a way to grow it - in the ground. I have enjoyed meeting new -to-me cultures or ethnicities to find out what their grandparents grew and cooked with.

A special offering of one of my 3-part programs is in the works to be presented at Mesa Community College beginning in April. Let me know if you want more info on that, or check out my free newsletter/gardening google site for calendar info.

Have a great day, Catherine, The Herb Lady
