Bumpkin Stuff Creations

A good portion of my yard is dirt, which blows around in the wind and erodes in the rain. Also, due to the housing boom, that part of my yard, which used to be quiet and semi private, has now become a highway. I want to try to solve three problems: dirt, erosion and privacy. This is part 01 of a multipart series where I am going to try to cultivate desert plants to return my yard back to the desert and solve the three problems listed above. I am going to take multiple approaches, from growing plants from seed, cuttings, in pots, directly in the dirt etc. At the end of this season, based on the results, I will decide if I can solve the problems with plants or if some other solution is required. I am not an expert, I am sure much of what I am doing here people will say "that's not going to work" etc. I am doing this for fun, learning through trial and error and doing some research along the way. Any constructive criticism, tips, ideas etc are much appreciated.

After years of wanting to be "TP Independent" we finally went ahead and ordered a bidet. This is a bargain model we found on Amazon; I think it was $40. We have since ordered another one, different model, same functions, but only $20. We paid for this with our own money. We aren't getting any endorsements, money or freebies. I'm not a professional, so take my advice and tips at your own risk. This was a very quick and easy install. The video is heavily edited because for most of it the camera was placed behind me and I'm sure nobody really wants to look at that for 5 minutes. If you've never used one of these, you're definitely missing out.
