The soil seems VERY sandy to me. Does anyone know the soil spec? The bark dust for mulch looks like a mistake - and is messy. has any monitoring been done on this system for water quality or water quantity.
I am a little reluctant to send this to clients just yet as the pics aren't such good examples of very healthy or robust plantings - anybody have more recent photos?
All the same its a great example of a tight squeeze.
AND better than pipes.
Do you find this valuable?
