[Arid_gardener] what are you doing that's earth friendly?

[Cathy Cromell]

Hi fellow gardeners,

As you may know, the next book from Arizona Master Gardener Press is about
earth-friendly gardening and landscaping.  Major topics will cover Water
Conservation; Water Quality Preservation (e.g., fertilizer and pesticide
application; IPM); planting for Energy Efficiency; Creating Wildlife
Habitat; Growing Your Own Food; and Green Waste Reduction.

I'd be very interested to hear what you are doing in your own landscape
regarding these types of issues.  Any tips or insights you have on what
works?  Do you have an area that could be photographed to illustrate a
concept, e.g., water harvesting, wildlife habitat, etc.  This does not mean
your entire yard has to look fantastic--a small section or close-up works
fine.

Please respond to the list, which may help jog ideas from others.  I
apologize to Master Gardeners who receive a duplicate of this email. Thanks
for your input!
