A recent commenter here alerted me to Linda Chalker-Scott, a Ph.D. horticulture prof at Washington State U., director of their Master Gardener Program, and the primary hort authority behind Master Gardener Magazine.  She's known for her articles debunking Horticultural Myths, and who can resist a good debunking? 

So like any long-time gardener, I breeze through the myth articles, feeling smug because I know better than to fall for them myself.  Until she lays this one on me:  "The use of drought-tolerant plants reduces water consumption," which she calls the Myth of Xeriscaping. . . .
