Another way to care for your garden more conscientiously is to install an automatic irrigation system. This is a method to water your outdoor plants smartly. This will allow you to program the amount of water you want to water your garden and the time and frequency.
One of the most efficient systems is drip irrigation, which offers greater control over the amount of water you use.
The ideal irrigation times are early in the morning and the evening. If it is watered during sunny hours, it will evaporate. It will be watered every other day in the spring months (under normal conditions). In summer, it is very important to water twice a day. In autumn and winter, depending on rainfall, every 15-20 days and 20-30 days, respectively.
In general, they should be watered less when rainfall occurs, when there are shady areas in our garden, when there are areas hidden from the wind, or when the grass is somewhat tall.
Use Rainwater To Maintain Your Garden.
Recovering rainwater is a great way to save water when caring for your garden. Rain provides fully functional water to water your plants and is completely free.
You only need a tank, like the Brick Design Rainwater Recovery Tank Decoration, to collect it. You can water the different plants outside your home with the water it stores.
Continue Garden Maintenance By Reusing Water.
Another way that will allow you to save water is by reusing it. For example, if you water your plants, you can use the water you have used in your daily tasks.
Here, you can use almost any type of water, for example, those first moments when cold water comes out when you shower. You can also take advantage of the excess water in the kitchen, the water from the water leak from the air conditioners, or the water from the washing machine.
Add Native Plants To Garden Maintenance.
Choosing local plant species can also help you save water. These plants adapt better to the climatic conditions in your area, so you will avoid overwatering them.
You can use a Water Recovery Planter to care for those plants while recovering excess water for other activities. This pot includes a tank and downspout filter faucet to achieve quality water.
Use The Necessary Water In Garden Maintenance In Summer.
One of the most important tips for saving water is not to abuse watering. It is not about reducing the amount they need but analyzing how much they require and need. This way, you will avoid unnecessary water consumption, and it will not affect your plants.
Watering Newly Planted Grass
When the lawn has been finished seeding, it should be watered 2 to 4 times per day. The soil should be moist, 2.5 to 5 centimeters deep, but not flooded.
As the seeds germinate and the sprouts begin to grow, the new plants mustn’t dry out, so continue watering 2 to 4 times per day if the weather conditions are dry.
When the plants reach 2 centimeters in height, we must gradually reduce the frequency of watering but water with a greater volume of water. Once the grass has been mowed 2 or 3 times, it is best to water it less frequently but more deeply.
To maintain a lawn in good condition, special attention must be paid, among other things, to the need for moisture that it demands. Watering when you don’t need it is ultimately harmful and will lead to unnecessary additional costs.
