Really sorry to hear about the fires. Folks in the mountains surrounding us got hit hard in 2020.TragicGot some good news. Before today I had only seen photos from my street from neighbors who had snuck through the cordon.
I went back to sift this afternoon. Nothing inside, but my garden fared far better than it could have.
Irony of ironies that the back hill closest to the forest land didn't burn because we caught embers flying over instead of a fireline. Everything I planted up thete was like....very fire resistant trees and shrubs.
So my question to anyone with any clue on this....how do I keep these plants alive while I rebuild my house?
I have no power and all my sprinkler valves are destroyed as is my main water service.
I'm sure I can get a batter powered controller or something. Any ideas on this greatly appreciated. Insanely excited to see if I could save my garden.
Do these trees and shrubs really require additional water? All the established plants I have have done fine through the past drought years without any watering at all.
