Hi Andrew,

I hope you sre still out there...

I recall you writing a post  a while ago describing how you rearranged some
rocks in a stream and significantly hleped the water flow.  You also
mentioned planting cypress trees to repel water from an area (they are used
in graveyards....).  What plants / trees attract water?  I live in Central
Texas - zone 7 to 9 depending on the year.

These are certainly some new ideas for me which I am excited to explore.

Sincerely,

Marjory
