Stem and Stalk Landscaping

About

I am a sustainable landscaper.
What is Sustainable Landscaping?
A sustainable landscape is designed for the climate and the environment.
Sustainable landscaping is working with nature by planting for the climate, conserving water, protecting and enriching the soil, and eliminating the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and gasoline.

For example, to conserve groundwater, I harvest rainwater with swales, rain gardens, and rain barrels.

I also make sure that plants are suited to the soil, and I curtail erosion by adding adequate organic matter. Compost bins can eventually provide the organic matter while reducing the cost of disposing of clippings, weeds, and prunings.
