		<description><![CDATA[In the life of a xeriscaper, there are fewer questions sweeter than "Would you like some free mulch?" Why the affection for ground up tree trunks, branches, and leaves? Because mulch holds moisture in the soil. It also builds the soil and controls weeds. In the arid Southwestern United States, we like such things. A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you live on one of those streets where there seems to be no speed limit? So do I. And, sorry to say, those speed tables further up the street don't seem to help at all. The speeders slow down enough to go over them without wrecking their suspensions, then it's off to the races [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout this month, Tucson's Watershed Management Group has been celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. WMG's Earth Month celebration included a block party, street painting, a bike tour of water harvesting sites, and several workshops. The last two Earth Month workshops were held in my neighborhood. A nearby neighbor had a culvert cistern installed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My front yard was graced (if you want to call&#160; it that) by a crumbling brick retaining wall. The wall had no seep holes, which meant that it was gradually being weakened by moisture. Time to tear down the wall. I wanted replace the old wall with something more attractive. Since I&#8217;m a member of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I bought this property in November 2004, it had no landscaping. There was crushed rock in the front yard and a formidable infestation of Bermuda grass in the back yard. I&#8217;ve done most of the landscaping work myself. This includes the landscape design, planting, weeding, and other maintenance tasks. To learn how to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tucson&#8217;s summer monsoon season is in full swing. This is rendering swamp coolers ineffective and that&#8217;s bad news for some of us. (I have a swamp cooler.) However, the plants are welcoming the rain the only way they know how. They&#8217;re getting very green. And the cactii are plump again. Here&#8217;s how the plant life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past Saturday, the Watershed Management Group helped me get my yard into better shape. Permit me to explain&#8230; After I moved in here, I set about the task of planting a xeriscape so I wouldn&#8217;t spend a fortune on water bills. In addition to planting low-water use plants, I tried to contour the property [...]]]></description>
