| Are you doing anything special in preparation for the El Niño winter we're supposed to get?
Here in the far western Mojave, we're expecting extra precipitation. But I know better than to count on rain, ever. At my house, I broke down and bought the gravel to mulch my xeriscape. I'm debating ordering some pretty things from High Country Garden, or at a minimum putting in some more yuccas. Anyone else with plans? |

| Hi! I am in the Mojave Desert too. I am planning on setting up rain barrels this year. I read that if only an inch of rain falls on a 2000 sq ft roof it will fill a bunch of barrels. |

| We've been thinking about doing that as well. We're debating rain gutters -- I think we'd get a lot of sand in them. My hubbie puts out poor man's rain barrels (relatively clean garbage cans) everytime it rains. We handwater for a week or so after a big rain. |

| Hoping for tons of snow in central NM. It insulates my Trashycarpus too. |
