Okanagan Shuswap Garden – The Ugly Truth of Rock Mulch


Nothing can be more environmentally destructive than replacing urban greens with rock. Rocks conduct heat from the hot sun during day hours and they then emit only heat at night when plants need cooling. Filling entire yards with gravel, rocks and boulders has got absolutely nothing to do with xeriscape landscapes. Removing greens from yards has serious consequences as pollinating insects and animals can no longer do their job. Over 1,200 food crops depend on pollination – where do people think food originates ?
