Garden & Landscape - June 2006

My builder says 6 inches below the top of the foundation wall and quotes Section 323 paragraph 5 of some code. All I can find when I search on building code sites relates to slope being 5% or 6% away from the foundation for a distance of 10 feet. He claims my new landscaping may void any warranties against water intrusion.

When we plant tomatoes; they grow big and healthy for a while and get lots of green tomatoes. Then the plant wilts from the top down and dies. This has happened several times. They don't seem to be too dry or too wet.

I purchased them at Walmart last year and they grew great! I found one called "Rose Carpet" but have failed to even find it on the internet so far! "Flower carpet" turned up nothing also.
