A word that is used more and more often not only in the garden but around the home too.

We strive to continually implement clever ways to teach gardeners how to reduce water consumption and reuse water which you would normally waste

Ways to save water in your garden:

• Use mulch in your beds like wood chips, bark chips, fallen leaves, pebbles or gravel
• Work in vermucilite, perlite , coco peat ,compost or Stockosorb in your soil when planting. All these products help to keep your soil moist for longer.
• Water early in the mornings or late afternoon to reduce evaporation.
• Reduce your lawn size or install artificial grass or pavers in certain areas
• Check connections and pipes daily for leaks or lose joins
• Divide your garden into zones for example all plants that need water weekly should be planted in an area and the not so thirsty plants in the hot dry areas.
• Plant more water wise plants like indigenous or aloes
• Plant more trees – this will cool down you home tremendously thereby reducing water loss
• Use bath water to water your pot plants
