Advice from the Owner
I really enjoy the time NOT spent mowing the grass! We've noticed an increase in bees and hummingbirds around our house now. They really enjoy the different flowers that are growing on our xeriscape plants. The only thing I would do differently is make raised beds bigger and install multiple zones for the drip irrigation.
