I’ve used large bubble-wrap around big pots/containers, followed by aesthetically-pleasing wraps of either burlap or duck…[Read more]

Absolutely wonderful, inspirational, informative, etc.

A Field Guide to Eastern Trees (Peterson Field Guides)

and also Michael Dirr’s Manual of Woody Landscape Plants : Their Identification, Ornamental Characteristics, Culture, Propagation and Uses

While the latter deals more with cultivated varieties of ornamental trees & shrubs, shade trees and native species…[Read more]

It’s used heavily in grass applications because the blades have no problem finding their way through. Plant plugs or even larger plants can be installed through the blanket by cutting an ‘X’ shaped incision in the blanket, pulling the flaps back, planting in, and then replacing the flaps around the…[Read more]

To me that does not seem like low volume but I’m no expert!

I find it interesting that when this fact is pointed out to you suddenly ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion’, which is very different that…[Read more]

No, I’m sorry I don’t think that’s true.

May I ask about the first step in your proposed design, that being directing stormwater into vegetated areas before its collected? What are you hoping to filter?
