@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialPlants that work in Las Cruces: soaptree yucca, creosote bush, tarbush, sideoats grama and rabbitbrush. Native or NMSU-recommended, and low water once rooted.

@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialGravel lasts and needs little care. Organic mulch keeps soil cooler around plants. Most good Las Cruces yards use both, in different zones.

@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialEPA WaterSense: outdoor use can be as much as 60% of household water in arid climates like ours. A poorly maintained sprinkler system can waste up to 25,000 gallons a year.
@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialDid a spot in your yard pool or erode during monsoon season? Dry weather is the right time to fix the grading, before next summer's storms repeat it.

@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialCaliche is the hardened layer under much of Las Cruces that blocks roots and drainage. Quick test: dig a foot-deep hole, fill it with water, and see if it drains.
@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialLas Cruces' average first 32°F frost is around Nov 13. Drain or insulate irrigation first, then cover tender plants overnight.

@rootedlandscapeco.bsky.socialPlant your tree in November, not spring. In Las Cruces the tree is dormant, the soil's still warm, and roots keep growing all winter, so it's settled in by June.

@nmdoj.bsky.social#NMAG Raúl Torrez hit the road this week to #LasCruces where he met with families, students and organizations to discuss his work keeping kids safe in #NewMexico, highlight his upcoming legislative proposals, and get feedback directly from the community. Next stops ➡️Taos & Española.
@timholt2024.bsky.socialIf we intend to discuss #water use within the #datacenter debate, we should also include the region’s largest consumer for comparison: #Elpaso #Lascruces @meta #oracle elchuqueno.com/selective-in...
