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.

soft water in my garden

9 years ago

I have naturally soft water and live in an arid climate, Central Western New Mexico. My garden is not doing well and I think it is my soft water. What can I do to improve my water so my garden will thrive? We don't get enough rain to use rain water all the time.
