Description

Going green sometimes means giving up a bit of green--as in the expanses of manicured emerald lawn we have all come to accept as the standard of the house-proud. Join Kevin and learn how to achieve curb appeal without wasting precious water resources or using harmful chemicals.This episode covers natural irrigation with rainwater catchment systems, drought-resistant plant selection, edible fruits and foliage that do double duty as ornament and food source, and even how to design a low-maintenance rock garden. Equally important is the planning phase, which should happen even before you break ground--by planning ahead, Kevin was able to set aside and preserve rich topsoil from the building site, to use later in getting his garden jump started.
