As the weather warms, many of us experience a condition where our thumbs begin to turn green, the outdoors beckons, and the dirt calls us to dig in and get planting. If you love to garden, or simply love to have a green lawn, it’s a given you will spend ample time watering your property.

Did you know that an average Australian household will use 40% of its water in the garden? This makes the garden a prime location for water-saving techniques. Here are a few suggestions:

• Install a dripper system and only water during the permitted hours.
• Use mulch to prevent water loss through evaporation and prevent soil erosion.
• Plant your garden in watering zones. Group plants that require large amounts of water together to reduce your water use.
• Choose a drought resistant lawn.
• Don’t over water your lawn – train it to use less water by encouraging the roots to grow deeper. Let grass grow longer in summer months which will shade the soil surface and reduce evaporation loss.
• Don’t water during windy weather – water will blow away from where it’s needed most.
• Instead of hosing, use a broom or rake to clean paths, paved areas and patios.
