You don't terraform high desert. You leave it alone.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

1. Plant desert plants.
2. water. alot.
LOTM - who has lawngrass rather than native plants in the front yard only cause the neighborhood association does the front yard maintenance, leaving me to play around with the back yard. And who hasnt planted native plants in the back yard cause im too lazy, and besides the weeds are native, arent they? Actually, probably not."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

It's people like you that have caused the Colorado River to be so drained of water that it no longer reaches the sea. If you want a lawn, move someplace green.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Keep the desert a desert. An unnatural Green lawn that doesn't belong would just look tacky."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

what do your neighbors do? IIRC in Tuscon planting native plants was considered the thing to do (and there wasnt much choice before CAP) Really, Im sure there are alot of resources out there on gardening with native plants. Do you really have NOTHING growing out front now?Originally posted by Space05us

Thats ok.
My lawn > Nature
Besides the water is already here, so why not use it?

No. I lived in the Arctic then. There were enough people with space heaters in thier front yards to change that.

Perhaps it would make you guys feel better if I told you my house is one of the very few without a lawn. And nevermind the paved roads, and the brick house I live in, they're just desert plants.
