A lawns a waste of water?

I'm doing a research paper on fresh water and home lawns. WIth looming water shortages especially in the high desert where I live I'd like to know what the professionals think. Personally I'd like to see more native plants and less grass.

Flow Hive Thoughts

A few years ago, it was asked about the Flow hive. This year (2019) was my first year using the Flow Super, and it was a success. I would love to hear more from OSU Extension on the Flow Hive Super. I have written my first experience out here for OSU Oregon Master Beekeeper Program: https://report.oregonmasterbeekeeper.org/news/smith-flow-hive/ So, in a scientific way, do we believe that the Flow Frames are bad for bees? I don’t believe so, after having had used it for one season, I would love to hear if any other Extension experts also have an a positive experience. Fred M Hall said in his reply to this question: https://ask.extension.org/questions/390917 - to ask about his experience in fall of 2018.

All kinds of trees dying

I see all kinds of trees dying. I did a test which shows there are high levels of Aluminum oxide, Barium and Strontium. All these ingredients will kill tree roots slowly and have almost immediate adverse effects on the leaves. The trees look like they are dying from drought but it is due to having no roots

Have you ever examined the contents of the rain water?

White stuff under the soil on potted plant.

I lifted my bonsai tree from its pot to see how wet or dry it was, but found a surprise. I watered the plant a couple of weeks ago and no white stuff was there then, so it must have come during these few days. The plant looks healthy as of now, but I want to make sure that this residue won't hurt it.
