Incisional hernias remain one of the most common surgical complications with a longterm incidence of 10-20%. 1 With the move to the tension-free repair following the introduction of the meshes, results improved, with a slight decrease in the rate of recurrence to approximately 10%. 2 Within recent decades, the sublay prosthetic hernioplasty, which was introduced in the 1970 by the French surgeons Stoppa and Rives, became one of the widely accepted procedures for incisional hernia repair. 3 This technique is basically characterized by mesh implantation in the "sublay"position below the rectus muscle and fixation of the mesh by transfascial sutures at the edges of the mesh. 4

This study, water use, species factor, and the overall growth of ten landscape plants grown in both 1.6 liter containers (commercial nursery practice) (simulation of landscape conditions) were determined and compared. Water use per plant and species factor were influenced by species. However, this means that the water use of container-grown plants may be used to predict or estimate the water use of the same species that are grown in a landscape situation. Water use per plant, landscape coefficient and overall growth differed by species. Of the ten species tested, shrubs
