BTW is anyone aware of a landscaping newsgroup?

Don't know how active they are but here are three:

alt.building.landscape
alt.landscape
alt.landscape.architecture

If you are serious about landscaping, you might look at some landscape
CAD software. I've been looking for CAD software that has a PREVIEW
mode that will display what everything looks like next year when it
has all died. That will put me a step ahead. Haven't found it yet.
