Save water. Target 155
Top Five Ways to Keep Your Garden Green – AND Make Target 155!
- Slip pots plants into shady areas – or at least places shaded from the harsh midday-afternoon sun.
- Slop around the mulch – mulching your garden to at least 7cm will dramatically decrease evaporation.
- Slap up some temporary shade for delicate plants. As simple as moving outdoor umbrellas to cover garden beds or using an old sheet, man-made shade will protect plants from burning and dramatically reduce their moisture loss.
- Save every drop - A family of four can harvest an extra 140 litres of water a day for their garden by showering over the bath with the plug in (and then bucketing water out onto the garden).
- Supercharge your hand watering with the addition of water crystals or seaweed solutions such as Seasol.
