Finding ways to use less water in the garden doesn’t just save you money on your monthly water bill. It also helps fulfil your duty towards living more sustainably and not wasting precious resources. From investing in rainwater tanks to installing an automatic water sprinkler system, our experts at A. A. Waters & Brookes give you useful tips for saving water in the garden.

Collect Rainwater

If you don’t collect rainwater, you are letting a clean and reliable water source go to waste. Installing rain tanks is probably one of the most effective ways in which you can reduce your water bill at the end of the month.

Improve Your Soil and Mulch

By using the correct type of soil for your garden needs, and adding mulch and peat moss where necessary, you can greatly reduce your water usage. The first step is to find out what type of soil you currently have in your garden and go from there. Mulch helps retain the soil’s moisture and ensures it does not evaporate too quickly.

Invest in an Automatic Water Sprinkler System

An automatic water sprinkler system will ensure that your garden is watered at optimal times and that no water is wasted. Furthermore, you won’t have to go about physically watering your garden yourself. It is very easy to tweak the settings to ensure that they are right for each season.

Maintain Your Landscaping

It is important to regularly weed your garden and clean up any debris so that your plants can get the water that they need to thrive. Dedicate at least one day a week to tidying up your garden.

Choose Plants Carefully

Some plants require more water than others. By investing in drought-tolerant plants, you won’t need to use as much water to keep your garden looking fresh. Indigenous plants typically require less water than exotic species.
