Rock Bulrush

I've been accused of having everything in my yard except the kitchen sink. Well, no more! I now have the kitchen sink too.I plugged the drain puka (hole) and used our old kitchen sink as a planter for kaluh, an indigenous sedge (Schoenoplectiella juncoides). The algae is the result of adding greensand. So, don't add greensand. (The tacky-looking ply boards in the background are the neighbor's "fence." But it fits with the theme.)www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/5188542408/in/photolist-...Kaluh or Rock bulrush(Schoenoplectiella juncoides)[syn.
