you familiar with the des moines school district? make no excuses, our educational prowess in iowa has gone down hill. too much money spent on administration, etc, etc, etc. has nothing to do with act v. sat and all the other excuses listed. -
Watering Trees
i hear you - if you water, fertilize a lot, root growth won't be as good as otherwise. and i hear you - nature isn't out watering/babying trees. but we aren't talking about trees planted by nature here. man frequently plant trees in a wrong location, or too deep, furthering the stress... -
Watering Trees
just dropped my daughter off at the at a location in WDM. they have some maples that are probably 5-10 years in the ground, in full sun, and the leaves are drying up. maples are a shallow-rooted tree - i'd definitely get your trees on a watering program based on how those trees looked. edit... -

Stepson whipped for failing to catch a ball
