Lame Landscape

First in a probably long line of posts about tragic situations found in our everyday landscape. Lets hope I can't find a lot of these around but I know I will.

This is not a well thought out placement of a bike rack. The mulch has been worn away after one season and there is even a drip line under the rack, waiting to be punctured.

This is why we have crusher fines, or even extend the concrete into the planting bed.

Grow Fresh Air

Ted Talk here about the three main plants needed to generate fresh air indoors.

"The Living Room Plant"
- Areca Palm
(Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)

Four Shoulder High plants per person! Removes CO2 and converts it into oxygen.

"The Bedroom Plant"
- Mother-in-laws Tongue
(Sansevieria trifasciata)

6-8 waist High plants per person. Converts CO2 into oxygen at night.

"The Specialist Plant"
- Money Plant
(Epipremnum aureum)

Removes formaldehydes and other volatile chemicals.
