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.
