landscaping begins!

The landscaping process has begun. We are working with Bard Edrington of Living Edge Landscaping. He is terrific! He is placing a grey water system in the front (fed from our two upstairs showers) and the back (fed from our washing machine). Here are a couple of photos of the front grey water system.

Bard is also sculpting the gardens into little dishes. Then we can flood irrigate because the water from our downspouts off the roof, or from our 1100 gallon cistern, or from the Rio Grande can flow right into the gardens.

Here is a photo of Bard with his Dingo (amazing little machine) sculpting the gardens.

Bard is also doing the hardscape...like brick porches and retaining walls. Here are a couple of photos of the brick porches.

And finally, something different...a shot of many cases of culinary lavendar that Karin Lynn processed for Los Poblanos. :)
