Waterwise gardening saves time and money as well as water. Even better, weeds are fewer and your flowers, veges and fruit trees more healthy and resilient.
Here are a couple of water wise tips for spring planting:
- Plant all the thirsty plants (lettuce, spinach) together, so they can be watered as a group.
- Plant garden beds densely rather than just dotting a few plants around. This strategy reduces water loss from bare soil.
- The best time to water is before you plant. Pre soak each plant in a bucket of water, until the potting mix stops bubbling.
