$1300 is a lot of money but it should pay for itself over the span of yrs. I was just considering a water harvest system myself, the 1/2acre that we bought, has 4 45 gallon drums for water, that I have had stored away as I wasn't using them, but have hauled themout and was going to make some mesquito screens over them...I also saw an ad on craigslist for a 250gal tank for 100. Hmmm, wonder if I could use it off my shed? DH is always on about the water bill, and so this might help my poor garden from his shutting off the watering system just cuz there's a trickle of rain...hmmm. It's certainly worth it to me, I put a lot of hrs into my flower garden, just to see it die of thirst!!! I envy my neighbors down the road, they have a well that they use for just their gardens, and use municipal water for their home...ahhh, their gardens are like walking into a dream!!!! I am recently giving my yard another TOTAL makeover as I had to put deer fencing up so I could have some plants!!! Now I am rethinking the previous owners style of layout and coming up with my own, so this is a great topic for me...thanks for posting!

Christy, The topic was discussed at length a few times in this forum. I gave you a link to one of them here. It's good read. Here is a link that might be useful: Multiple trees in one hole

Sounds interesting. Most nitrogen fixing bacteria that I know of have a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, typically legumes. The nitrogen is released when the cover crop is turned under (killed). I'd be curious if Azos is similar and if so, how would it make the fixed nitrogen available to the garlic.

I use some of the Signature A products. I really like the concealers the best. When you buy a kit the lipsticks are usually too dark for me.The mascara is good and so are the blush and meltdown/ I don't particularlly care for the makeup (foundation) as you don't really get enough of a color choice. Although one night I was in a restaurant with some friends and some women came in from a Mary Kaye meeting and one woman came over to my table and complimented me on my makeup and asked what kind I use. I thought that was a riot.
