Elise had a garden, she just needed support, guidance, and a plan!
Elise has a beautiful midtown landscape and garden. Everything was beautiful when we started with a consultation…
However, Elise wasn’t enjoying it. Hand watering was tiresome, the vegetables she wanted weren’t growing very well or there was little to harvest. We worked through some potential problems and the first fix was to add drip irrigation. In Tucson’s climate, adding drip is essential for a gardener’s sanity! It automates the most time consuming task that if missed, is also the most detrimental to the garden. Also, building soil health through vermicompost bins, mulching, and regular feeding with organic fertilizer took this garden to absolutely thriving!
Elise was hand watering, which was working and her garden looked healthy. She just couldn't keep up with it.
Hand watering was irregular, and becomes time consuming! Especially when it's over 100 degrees, it's a hard chore.
First, we added a drip irrigation system
With a plan and a lot of plants, some fertilizer, everything absolutely thrived
Even I was amazed at how well this garden responded to drip irrigation, regular feeding (organic fertilizer), and mulching
This photo was taken in the heat of the summer, and everything is lush and green
