Gimme a little bit to do some digging, Groucho. I'm in some online gardening groups, I'm sure there'll be some info about this in them. Just gotta find it.

I gotta say, for as old school as you are, you are one of the most adaptable people when it comes down to it. I'm impressed.I'm probably wrongComment

OK, first helpful response I've gotten: "I have my drip system 6 minutes twice a day every other day. Desert plants really do not require a lot of water. In town the professionals would set it 3 times a day every day, most of their trees fall over in a wind cause their roots stay by the water. My palo verde trees get a once every 3-4 week watering and are strong. Water them for 20 to 30 minutes with a sprinkler. Set at your comfort level minimum and watch for awhile, increase if needed."
One of the leaders of the group has tagged a professional landscaper friend of his for this. If he pipes up I'll pass it along.I'm probably wrongComment

The plants are supposedly "low water". I'm not sure due to communication break down what that means exactlyOriginally posted by tedly View PostSTUGOTSComment

I meant what specific plants.
If you don't know, no problem. Anything low water or desert should have similar needs. I was just wanting to catch anything that might need more than the others. I'm guessing that they are going to be plants native to that area or other desert areas.

I don't know the names. The guy at the Nursery pointed to low water section and I tried to just get a decent assortment. So, I just pointed.....8 of those yellow ones, 10 of the little red ones......Originally posted by tedly View PostI meant what specific plants. If you don't know, no problem.

Oddly enough, this is kind of difficult to track down any solid info on. I'm still looking, but you're kind of on the fore front of this thing. Apparently everyone is still trying to hang on to their lawns, even if they are brown and crispy.I'm probably wrongComment
