The Official Drought Thread

Does the state still do a credit for removing lawns? I got paid by the square foot of sod removed.

It requires you to go to a class about what to do. We had already got most of our stuff done by the time, but probably would have used a bunch of the suggestions if we hadn’t. It was a pretty good class.


We took out at the Jordan water conservatory district place. It is worth looking into.

This is a great idea. Thank you.

We've had rain the last couple of days. No drought here!

There were a lot of xeriscaping resources when we lived in central Oregon. With our acre lot, we landscaped about a third of it. We had a few rhododendrons and 'showy' plants, but most of it was fescues and native bushes with drip irrigation. The remainder of it was unirrigated wild grasses and bushes. That portion of our lot just subsisted year to year.

Anyways it's December 23rd on Vancouver Island and my grass is still green. I have never lived in a place that gets so much precipitation, and we're on the side of the island that gets relatively less rain.The local ski hill opened about a week late because it hadn't snowed yet, but once it dipped into the high 30's down here it dumped like crazy up there. I tell myself that the cold in my bones mornings are worth not having to worry if the snow pack will be enough to stave off fires in the summer.

The cold on Vancouver Island is different. You feel it in your bones. 45 degrees there (Fahrenheit) felts like 25 degrees back in Utah.
