Properly irrigate the borders and kitchen garden.
Soil irrigation, unlike sprinkler systems, reduces the water consumption of landscaped gardens. There several different irrigation techniques, so before you choose one, make sure it complies with local municipal watering guidelines.
Our recommendations :
-
Cover the soil in flower borders with mulch. This helps prevent the growth of weeds and also keeps the soil moist, which encourages the microbial content of the soil, protects friendly insects and reduces the need for weeding and herbicides. Choose organic mulch: when it decomposes into humus over time, it will add organic substances to your soil. Some kinds of mulch, like those made of wood, have a longer lifespan, while others, such as straw and leaves, decompose more quickly.
-
Install a high-efficiency irrigation system. Some systems are complex and require the help of a professional. Others, such as soaker hoses placed on the ground, are simpler and can be installed using a timer. These irrigation systems save water and also reduce the impact associated with treating and pumping water.
