Transform Outdoor Spaces with Secrets of Sustainable Garden Design
Implementing Water-Saving Techniques
Water conservation is a crucial aspect of sustainable gardening. Techniques such as rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and mulching can significantly reduce water usage. Rain barrels can collect and store rainwater for use during dry periods, while drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the plant roots, minimizing evaporation and runoff2. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, further reducing the need for irrigation.
