English ivy in need of shade and water in the desert
Never understood why people insist on trying to create an English garden in
the desert southwest when there are thousands of other more suitable and far more interesting Mediterranean climate plants that would do much better under their conditions. You will save yourself and your community much precious water by planting things that will actually thrive in your climate. "active805" wrote in message om... I live in a part of California that is Sunset Zone 15. I have a plot of English Ivy ground cover that measures about 450 square feet. Most of my plot gets too much sun in the summer, causing it to burn. I want to screen the plot during mid-day, but how? Is there a fabric sheeting I could lay on top of the plants? What a hassle that will be. Any recommendations? Perhaps I could shade it with Italian Cypress, but that would really alter the landscape. Will extra watering protect English Ivy from the ravages of the California sun? I am thinking of installing a drip system, but there are so many types of drip emitters, and I don't know much about that. |
