Different kind of air purifier
by JohnAndSancho- 7 replies
- 835 views
https://algenair.com/ A guest saw all the plants in my office window, and told me about these. He asked me if I had all the plants to clear the air and provide oxygen - sure that's a benefit, but it's mostly for the vibes. Anyway, at $250, plus monthly refills, it's probably not for me. But still kinda neat.

Falling palm leaves on renters car
by Jastin- 3 replies
- 375 views
I’m about to rent out my palm jungle home and am wondering if anyone knows the laws in california for falling leaves. I have a 30’ royal next to my driveway that drops leaves 1-2 times a year in the driveway. I have others that are self cleaning. I keep up with them all the time, the trees are healthy, but it’s nature and it’s how they grow. Am I responsible if something from my renter gets damaged?

Turf Grass
by SeanK- 1 reply

In showcasing our palms, it necessary to provide proper accent plants and even a nice carpet below our feet when walking in the landscape. In my area, the older properties had centipede installed, which I actually prefer. It's a bit complicated to maintain as it doesn't go truly dormant in the winter. New residential properties use Bermuda and some of the better commercial properties use Zoysia. Both of these go dormant and so, one can use stronger weed-killers in the off season. Also, they're more aggressive runners so they mend themselves better. I was reading on-line that many areas out west are beginning to ban artificial turf (Astroturf). These were popular…

Unlike some other Palm Talkers, I didn’t have the good fortune to be born and raised in a palmy environment; I am a product of the industrial parts of Ohio, Cleveland to be specific. I left Ohio in 1985 for California and have been here ever since. Haven’t regretted that decision for a New York Nanosecond, but sometimes you think about the place of your roots now and then. I just got back from a seven day Cleveland sabbatical, for a high school reunion, and also to hang out with my younger brother for a bit. Our nuclear family moved into the house brother now occupies back in 1970, and the oak tree pictured below was already there, about forty feet tall. …
