The new grass also gets a lot of foot traffic in addition to being surrounded by concrete on all sides so I think a hot Chicago summer would do it in.Sweet Home and Garden Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026451200405491815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-74722004829391557432007-10-18T21:28:00.000-06:002007-10-18T21:28:00.000-06:00Awesome!!

I'd say it was greed more than anything - they don't want to spend any money on something that won't bring in immediate dollars. The grass looks wonderful now, but keep an eye on them. They will probably need reminding.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-21287035766425452192007-10-14T20:25:00.000-06:002007-10-14T20:25:00.000-06:00Thanks, Gina.

I worked hard on that problem, and am happy that it was finally resolved.<BR/><BR/>I installed my own irrigation system and if this technically-challenged gal can do it anyone can. It's an above ground system called Misterlandscaper that uses solid black tubing. You use a hole puncher to make a hole and insert a stake with a sprinkler head on it. It conserves about 90 percent water and is widely used in California and other places with water shortage.<BR/><BR/>After doing my own , I now install this system for clients who have small urban gardens.<BR/><BR/>Visit their website at : http://misterlandscaper.com for full details. Better garden centers carry it. You can do a small garden for around $300 or less. A timer can be attached to the system and that is indeed a great relief for those who travel frequently or are just short of time to water.Sweet Home and Garden Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026451200405491815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-69647318715736172272007-10-14T19:55:00.000-06:002007-10-14T19:55:00.000-06:00WOW, carolyn! way to bring about change! i'm impre...WOW, carolyn! way to bring about change! i'm impressed. <BR/><BR/>regarding the watering system, what kind do you use for your garden? do you normally recommend that to homeowners who's landscapes you design?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119471756261855850noreply@blogger.com
