re manpower, they have hired 4 extra guys= they are under chris direction, he needs to tell them to=weed or spray, . 
do we want a wall instead of a windbreak fo= the basket?

No problem- we're pulling everything together to ship=and all looks good. We sending some additional items

The walk last week went o.k.- but I was a l=ttle dismayed at the amount of maintenance that needs to be done 
(spraying,=weeding, removal of dead plants like the sea grape that were transplanted, a=c.). Chris stated that he's 
ordered a new sprayer, so that should hel=. But it appears to me that he's short on manpower. When the gu=s are 
planting, no one is available to continue on with routine maintenance= and it brings down the overall look and feel of 
the site. Perhaps yo= could consider bringing in a few guys part time occasionally to keep augme=t the crews while the 
installations going on, provided that Chris and Peter=can adequately manage them. 
As for our material, I'm happy with what I saw except fo= the grasses and the Areca palms. I counted a little 
over 100 grasses=that don't appear to be coming back, and the Areca palms are already gettin= windburn. A big push to 
get the "basket" windbreak in and the bowl p=anted needs to happen as quickly as possible. 
I'd also recommend mulching the planted beds and treatin= with a pre-emergent herbicide like Snapshot to 
suppress the weed growth, a=d help the plants retain moisture.

I would recomme=d seeding the cleared areas as quickly as possible since we're getting rain= I would suggest 
ordering fresh seed (hulled Bermuda), as I couldn't f=nd a date stamp on the seed bags in storage. If someone has 
records a= to when it was purchased they need to let Chris know. Seed doesn't general=y remain viable for long down 
here in the heat. Also, I didn't see an= paper pulp that's used in the hydro seed slurry, so I'd check on that as w=ll. You 
have plenty of fertilizer that's the right N-P-K formulation f=r seeding, but still need something better for blooming for 
boosting color o= your blooming plants. I'll send Chris a few bags from our store, but=perhaps he can order in a pallet in 
bulk for future use. 
Other than that, I didn't get the opportunity to inspect=the irrigation system again, so that still remains a big 
concern to me, esp=cially considering the amount of money you're investing in plants. 
let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
