Keep tomatoes and jalapeños hydrated during August heat - use this simple trick to turn plastic water bottles into slow-drip irrigators. ☀️ 🍅 🌶️

Here’s how (trial and error is often part of the process!):
💧 Cut the bottom off a 2 liter plastic bottle.
💧 Use a hot needle to poke a tiny hole in the bottle's lid. Secure lid back onto the bottle.
💧 Cut off the bottom or make a flap so you can fill with water as needed.
💧 Cut the bottom off a second 2 liter plastic bottle, remove cap, and nest the first bottle inside the second cap-less bottle (this system helps prevent clogging).
💧 Face the nested bottles upside down several inches into the soil next to your tomato plant roots.
💧 Lift the flap and fill the interior bottle with water so moisture will slowly reach the roots instead of running off the surface.

Pair with a layer of organic mulch to help reduce evaporation and keep soil temperatures more consistent during Texas' hottest weeks.

Apparently we’ve just about reached the downhill side of summer. The hill is just…very long. 🌡️😎

While North Texas waits for the thermometer to get the memo, here’s one good reason to keep our communities green: trees and vegetation provide shade and natural cooling that can help reduce local heat-island effects. 🌳

Cooler days are coming. Statistically speaking, anyway.

That’s a wrap on TNLA EXPO 2026! 🌿

Living Earth was proud to be a Premier Sponsor and TNLA Bluebonnet Partner, but today we’re giving the spotlight to the crew that made it happen.

A big thanks to the entire team, with a special shoutout to Melissa Clifton and Brian Gatlin for everything behind the scenes — and to the crew that stayed through teardown yesterday to finish strong.

Great work, team!

Love seeing our customers having fun! 🤩

Good job on your booth, Living Earth! Does this hat make my head look big? 🌱

Living Earth - DFW Texas Nursery & Landscape Association

Yesterday was setup. Today, you get to see what we were building.

Meet The LETCO Group! For the first time at the TNLA Landscape & Nursery Expo, Living Earth, Jemasco and Texas Timber Resources are showing up together under one umbrella.

Three established brands. 36 locations. One team. And this is just the beginning.

There’s a bigger story behind The LETCO Group, and we’ll be sharing more soon. For now, come see us at Booth 2600! Living Earth is proud to be a Premier Sponsor of this year’s Expo, and we’re ready for two great days in San Antonio.

Some posts just make us smile.

A customer shared this photo after hauling home enough Living Earth 100% Aromatic Cedar Mulch to freshen up the garden... and still had the energy to joke that the real workout was spreading it all.

We’ve all been there. 😄

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us!

📸 Have a Living Earth project you’re proud of? Tag us or send us a photo. We’d love to feature it in our Living Earth: In the Wild series!!

The countdown is almost over! Next week, the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association’s Nursery/Landscape EXPO returns to San Antonio, bringing together landscapers, growers, municipalities, architects, suppliers and green industry professionals from across Texas.

Living Earth is proud to join our customers, colleagues, and friends at one of the industry’s biggest events. If you’re attending, be sure to stop by Booth 2600 to say hello. We’d love to catch up, talk shop and show you what’s new.
