A greener garden with less water loss

Water-efficient gardening means helping rainfall and irrigation reach and remain in the root zone.

Water deeply

Deeper, less frequent watering is often more effective than repeatedly wetting only the surface. Bark slows rapid surface drying.

Place drip lines below mulch

Water is delivered close to roots with lower surface loss. Check emitters regularly.

Consider soil and plants

Improve sandy soil with organic matter and choose plants suited to the local conditions.

Use in parks

Mulched shrub zones can reduce open soil and simplify maintenance when depth is matched to use.
