Comment on How do you calculate how much rock or pebbles you need per square foot for desert landscaping? by blair84ice

Depends on how large the stone is and how thick you want to make the stone mulch. A good rule of thumb: 50 pounds of 3/4" diameter (or smaller) stone = approx. 5 square feet 1 inch deep. The coverage is less for larger sized stone.

At three inches deep and twelve by twelve square you can do four square feet peer one cubic foot of stone, if possible weigh one square foot of your material, then take your total coverage that you want to cover and divide by four the weight of one cubic foot and you should get apretty close estimate to how much you need to buy, be it by the pound or the ton determining the size of your project. Good Luck

You first have to come up with a volume of rock per square foot
how thick do you want the rock? (Keep all your units the same)
Then you have figured out what volume of rock you need.

You will need 144 cubic inches per square foot of garden langscaping. 1 cubic foot will cover 12 square feet at 1 inch depth.

Your question is not nearly detailed enough! how deep are you trying to cover? Most deserts I have seen are sand not rock…..be more detailed and you will get better answers.

I’m waiting for an order of seeds to come in. I can’t wait till they arrive and soon after that it will be time to gather growing supplies and get the little green babies going. That.s what my mother used to call her plants, her “Green Babies”.
Good luck with your next season! I hope your bees do well too!

I saw your video on …
I saw your video on Gardener’s Supply. You have a very nice garden. I wish I had the room to garden. I live in an apartment building that doesn’t allow room for such things. But I do container gardening on my father’s porch at his place. It’s a fun experience and Dad learned a few things too. That was his first time growing things last summer.

Comment on What is a process that creates a desert landscape? by Navpreet Raj Singh

Navpreet Raj Singh — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 00:12:59 +0000

Deserts accurs due to atmospheric high pressure anti cyclonic cells. IN these cells air descends and in the process gets hot with adiabatic processes. Any water or vapors are absorbed by the hot air and then this air travels to low pressure areas where they go up and produce rains generally in equatorial or tropical climates. BUt the high presure areas remain high and dry

Comment on How do I go about "pruning" my rose bushes to make them more lush and full, and what to use to keep them in by Kathy

Sounds like you do have a climber there. They need something to be entwined around as you are growing them
To cut off the dead flowers..go down the stem to the first triple leaf cluster. If you would like your plant to look really nice buy a trellis and have it grow around that. In a couple years time I think you will find you have a very beautiful cascade of flowers.

Roses like soil that is just a little on the acid side. Ortho has one of the best fertilizers for roses.

Some times to propagate roses you can lay one of the branches on the ground and cover it with soil…many times it will root out and make another plant…Doing it this way will take a while tho. If you go out and buy a new plant….I have found the best stock for me has been from Jackson & Perkins.

I have grown many roses in the past…..entered them in flower shows…and taken home a few blue ribbons.

Good luck with your plants….

first find out what kind of rose it is

it sounds like a climbing rose and they are different than tea roses or shrub roses

check this place these people a bunch about how to tell which rose you have
take a pic of it close up…blossom……wood….thorns…..bud….after blossom is spent….etc…………. post it in the Q & A on this sight and they will tell you what it is
usually they will tell you how to care for it

good luck
