Tried Insect soap for trees

I bought some insectisidal soap for the fruit trees, it's supposed to be safe for both environment and plants. It says to use every other week, but other places I've read about it say that it only work while it's wet, once it dries it's ineffective. We'll see... I sprayed the Cherries, apricots and blueberry plants with it, both tops and bottoms of leaves.

Something's Eating my Cherry Tree!

I found this on it, but I'm not sure if it's eating the tree or if it's eating whatever is eating my tree. The other tree is doing fine so far, but I'm sure it will spread. I want to find a way to control the pests as the cherrys are no longer growing.

Use Less Water for landscaping

WHY do people insist on landscaping with grasses that are not native to the area? The west especially in the desert should not have lush, green lawns, it uses so much water...

I'm looking into groundcovers that will work for our backyard, when we moved in the backyard was compacted dirt unsuitable for anything to grow, now that it's spring and the ground is wet, it's possible to plant something.

Here are some links to groundcover information.
