  1. Actually, even after a renovation this back yard still looks bad. You didn't anything in this mess what already was you add more plants. you even not cleaning the mess or not pruners of existing shrubs…I am sorry but this back yard not the example to fallow it

  2. I've been growing staghorn ferns in hanging baskets since 1973. They seem to do better in the basket than on the board. I line the basket with shredded sphagnum, carefully work the fertile leaves through the moss, fill the inside with potting soil, and water. In SoCal you have to watch them in the long dry spell from Feb to Jan. If you are closer to La Jolla they will be happier than if you're in El Cajon. Mine actually do better in San Antonio with random rainfall.

  3. A question ..
    i made some mounds innthe zen garden to imitate hills … i am thinking to cover these mounds with the protection of the soil that will later on contain gravel ..
    The mounds should be in future covered with moss or weeds .. so for making roots of moss and weeds i thought to put a thin layer 2 ” of soil ?
    What do you think ?
    Your appreciate advice !
    Thanks. Josh

  4. It looks really nice. As for the bamboo, I would have placed a thick lining as well inside the planter. Having 20 years growing bamboo, a 30 foot grove, the roots of bamboo are extremely strong and grew past my 3 ft barriers and possibly some cracked cement retaining wall. You don't want to over water the bamboo as the roots will take off and do damage and feed it at least twice a year with lawn fertilizer to keep it green. The bamboo nursery I got my plants many years ago had instructed me to only do surface watering of the bamboo for less than 10 min. 21 years later, I am getting rid of the bamboo because the roots caused more damage that is much more costly.

  5. Watching this in 2021 – could you do an update of the maintenance and what you've kept from the transformation and what you've evolved into something else?
