The lack of water is not the only problem with landscaping in Las Vegas. In many places the soil is very hard, and without nutrients.

Besides being expensive, chemical fertilizers get into the runoff, and eventually mix with drinking water.
High levels of chemical fertilizers can cause defects and health issues. One way to combat the soil problem, without relying on chemical fertilizers, is to rely on composting and plant rotation. Plant rotation is not as effective with perennials, but is usefully in flower and vegetable gardens. Composting, on the other hand, is a technique that is useful with any kind of landscaping.
