Tips for saving water outside your home
Wide Bay Water Corporation continuously promotes and encourages water conservation throughout the community.
For ideas to save water why not try some of these?
- Fit tap timers to all your garden water taps. Tap timers automatically turn off your drippers even if you forget!
- When washing your car, try using your tap timers to control the flow time.
- Don’t mow your lawn too short… a longer lush lawn develops a deeper root system and requires less water to look great.
- Talk to your nursery about water friendly plants. There are thousands of waterwise plants to choose from, that look great even in tough dry conditions.
- Mulching not only helps to control weeds, it also prevents soil drying out! Compost, sawdust, straw, grass clippings, pebbles and woodchips are all excellent mulching solutions.
- When planting your garden try grouping your plants into high or low water users.
- Did you know small shrubs require more frequent watering than larger hard leaf varieties?
