Guerilla gardening at work.

Post by Barrie » Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:19 am

I was able to toss in a few xeriscape plants into an area where I work. The area is on a rock ledge with superior drainage. It's a bit on the wild side (not manicured) but the selection I choose should do fine.

Cheers, Barrie.

Nice to see Barrie. Cactus,yucca,agave on Vancouver Island. Any other amending of the soil before planting?

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Well if you could call it "soil", no amendments. It was very dry and dusty, mostly rock and I had to search carefully to find appropriate sites for each plant. I've been approached by management to plant some palms next spring.

Cheers, Barrie.
