My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Nasturtiums

14 years ago

Hello,

I bought some nasturtium seeds to plant with my squash to help fight off squash beetles. It says on the packet to plant in poor dry soil to produce best/most flowers. I was wondering how I should go about creating a small area of poor soil.
