There are many way to conserve natural resources, such as
-Use compost and mulch on your flower beds, vegetable gardens, trees and shrubs.
Both prevent the evaporation of water from the soil, ensuring
that water is held where the plants need it.
-Opt for low water use plants. Once these plants are established
they will survive on rainwater alone.
Use an outdoor water timer to ensure that you use the right amount
of water, at the right time and frequency.
-Halve water usage in the garden by using drip irrigation or a soaker hose.
-Water early in the morning as midday watering results in a significant
amount of water evaporating.
Direct any downspouts onto your lawn, on to rain gardens
(if you want to know more about rain gardens follow the link), or into a rain barrel.
