Water Conservation and Watering your Plants in Perth
Tips from The Outdoor Décor Company – the best place to buy Planters in Perth
Keeping your plants adequately watered can be tough, especially during a long, dry summer, but with the right tools, such as self-watering planters, and an appropriate amount of planning, you can enjoy healthy plants with the minimum of fuss. Do your bit to conserve water without sacrificing your garden, with these handy tips.
Install an irrigation system
Irrigation is a great way to ensure that when you water your garden, all of the water is going to good use. Using a watering can or a hose can be inefficient and lead to water waste, but a good irrigation system will target the roots of your plants. You can also hook it up to a water butt that will collect natural rainfall, and help you conserve even more.
Make use of greywater
Greywater is the name for water you have used in your home for things such as baths, showers and washing machines. This can be collected with the help of a simple diversion system of pipes and valves and used to water your garden when fresh water is restricted. However, you should avoid watering your garden exclusively with greywater, as it will contain soap and skin particles that can eventually start to affect the health of your plants.
Choose self-watering pots
Use planters and pots with self-watering inserts and you’ll be able to ensure your potted plants are never over watered again. Great for saving water and also your time, these can keep your plants refreshed for up to a month without needing to be refilled.
