Help,Dymondia margaretæ
 

I am in coastal north San Diego. Cool, occasionally warm, very little
rain. We started groundcover on a hill planting Dymondia margaret=E6
from flats. It has spread real well, but I have a running battle with
my wife about water. She wants to continue watering daily (overhead
sprinklers) since it seems to have spread well. I would like to cut
back to 2xweek. My thinking is the frequent shallow water promotes the
weeds that are coming up in the D.marg plots. Also, 1 plant has died.
Leaves just look dried out and white while the plants around it look
OK. When I pulled the dead plant the root seemed a little soft and the
tissue easily peeled off the outside of the root.
thanks,

I'd like to thank all those who chipped in...
this seems like a real active group
