I don't have any solid answers for you. But I did something similar. However, I planted around a mature tree.
My goal was mostly to retain the irrigation water, because before, it was mostly watering rocks and weeds.
Then I had a second purpose, i…
I have newly planted 6 fruit trees and two grape plants and while I’m waiting for them to grow and hopefully produce, I’m thinking about planting ornamentals around their bases, but I want to check out a few things with you all. 1) I’ve noticed on a…

Chris, I agree on the Metal vs Asphalt delema...with my first flush, I worry a little less about my tank water on veggies than the chemical process that gives us Tap water. Plus, birds poop in my garden anyway I'm sure and a heck of a lot of it ends…

I hope your irrigation clock is off right now and for the next week [at least] Rain Glourous Rain, la la la la la la......
Thank you for doing the research and giving us so information. I have often been confused about using the rain water from the roof.
Most wood Shingles are of the Western red Cedar.....and you should be okay. but. it depends on what happened aferwards
So the veggies will be ok [other than drowning in 4 inches of water] :(
I was wondering about the wood shingle issue. We have shake shingles. Why can't it be used on vegetables and is the run off into the vegetable garden a concern with all of the rain we are having?
Hmmm, sounds a little more complicated and higher-maintenance than I’m up for right now. My trees are native, except for the fruit trees I just planted. If I had thought to ask this question before I planted them, I might have been willing to work s…
I inherited a 50(?) lb bag of gypsum from previous homeowners, but I don't know how I would use it. I live in Tempe and my soil is very clay-rich. My garden areas are newly assembled, raised-bed, lasagna-style. I have plenty of nonedibles, but mostl…
