WATER SAVING GARDEN

That's right - you can have a water saving garden and it is really easy to do. Due to drought conditions, water restrictions or just the increased cost of irrigation water, now is the time to create you own water saving garden.

Question: What is the best strategy for an effective water saving garden?
Answer: The best bet is a combination of the following:
  1. Use drip or controlled irrigation (on a timer)
  2. Use plants that require less water
  3. Plant in quality soil
  4. Use an effective fertilizer
  5. And last but not least, use an anti-transpirant to condition your plants against transpiration and desiccation
1) Use drip or controlled irrigation (on a timer); 2) Use plants that require less water; 3) plant in quality soil; 4) Use an effective fertilizer; and last but not least 5) Use an anti-transpirant to condition your plants against transpiration and desiccation.

Remember that deciduous plants and evergreens can lose as much as 80% of their plant moisture during the winter, so you need to use an antitranspirant even during the winter to help plants retain their moisture

Plants can be conditioned to use less water and that is the secret to a healthy water saving garden.
