I have a rental and I am wondering if I can depreciate mulch, gardening soil, annual flowers and perennials? 

Quote from @Travis Flowers: Hi everyone, I’m excited to join the community!

We don't have one plant closed that 3 feet from any structure and every plant and tree we have is in flower pots.It took me several years to think about removing all the grass from every property because we always maintained our lawns to the point they were beautiful and weedless.

In some jurisdictions you can drain the gray-water into a flower bed.

I take my trash to the back alley and see about 20 landscaping flowers, bushes and shrubs piled in the dumpster behind the rental house.

This usually involves fresh mulch, flowers, etc. 

However, I did go ahead and fix up the flower beds a bit.Appreciate everyone’s input as always!

Very few people are going to avoid someone who shows they can be an asset to their team because they have some flowers on their hands.

("You wouldn't believe what their tenants did to the hosta flower bed!")
