On Tuesday, November 2, 2010 Michael Toscano, Ornamental Horticulture Instructor at the San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, CA and his students participated in a tree and sod planting effort to beautify the campus and learn about landscape design by getting their hands dirty. DriWater, a time release water gel, was used as an alternative to traditional irrigation to help provide needed moisture to the Desert Willow trees being planted amongst the Delta Bluegrass which requires much more surface water than the Desert Willows. The students planted the Desert Willows with DriWater Tube & Gel Pacs to provide up to 90 days of continuous moisture to the trees during their establishment period. The students will be checking on the gel pacs every 60 days and replace them as needed over the next Spring and Fall semesters.Friday, November 5, 2010
