If you have access to a pickup truck the best option is to buy it in bulk at Living Earth Technology or Servall Contractor Services. They both deliver as well.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-12664144164271585342011-12-01T12:05:50.211-06:002011-12-01T12:05:50.211-06:00Where in Plano can you get decomposed granite, pla...Where in Plano can you get decomposed granite, planning on using it as mulch but not sure where to get it here in east plano.

I am already planning for possible replacements if something has to be removed.<br /><br />I am hoping my front yard will be full of wild flowers this spring. I have identified several winecup, four-nerve daisy, prairie verbena, bluebonnet and cutleaf daisy seedlings. <br /><br />I think you will like using decomposed granite as a mulch. I tried it because I read that using bark around desert plants could hold in too much moisture and cause rot. I spread it about two inches deep. <br /><br />Good luck with your cold victims.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-2206969900355939512010-02-04T12:59:37.176-06:002010-02-04T12:59:37.176-06:00None of us are used to what blew our way last mont...None of us are used to what blew our way last month! I don't think it was as cold in our part of the Hill Country as in Plano but I have droopy cholla, same kind of reaction as your prickly pear. <br /><br />Love your Agave neomexicana! Think I'll look for that. And thanks for mentioning the decomposed granite. I hadn't thought to use it as a mulch. Have tried various sized rocks but not been happy with results. Will give the granite a try.<br /><br />It was interesting here to see how things did with the cold. My bamboo muhly are skeltonish and the dwarf barbados cherries have lost all the leaves but I think most of our natives came through. There have even been a few flowers on the native coral honeysuckle and one volunteer prairie verbena. And the front is carpeted with baby wildflower plants. This spring will be one to remember. I bet your gardens will be too.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.com
