Default Re: Since bananas like water, and there are water restrictions ...

well i fixed the problem with having a dead lawn because of water restrictions....i used chipped up trees that the city was gonna throw away. so my whole front yard is mulched in. they are suppossed to bring me another load in a week or two, then i can start on the side yards. ive started collecting milk jugs to use as drip irrigation for my nana trees. put them in the mulch near the base of the nana tree and poke holes in them. it will allow watering on a drip level. if they restrict the water again ill fill them at night.. i have to have some grass in the back yard due to my banana crew, but if i have my way ill landscape it and tier it out for veggies and a few fruit trees. i have 5 ft. high fence to keep out the deer so im not to worried about that. and ill use some drought tolorant plants if i have to go to texas( hi fernie) to get them. lol!
