In your Garden

  1. Water the garden early in the morning or late in the evening. This reduces water loss due to evaporation. Don’t overwater the garden. Water the plant only till the soil becomes moist, not soggy.
  2. Explore water efficient irrigation systems. Sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation can be adapted in garden.
  3. Make your garden lively - plant trees and shrubs which will attract birds. You can also put nest boxes and put food.
  4. Try growing sturdy grass in bare patches of land, and convince people in your neighborhood to do so.
  5. Put waste to work in your garden - sweep the fallen leaves and flowers into flower beds or under shrubs. This will increase soil fertility and also reduce the need for frequent watering.
  6. If you have little space in your garden, you could make a compost pit to turn organic waste from the kitchen and garden to enrich soil manure.
  7. Don't use chemicals in the gardens - as they will eventually end up in environmental damage.
  8. Use Organic and environmentally friendly fertilizers and pesticides - organic gardening reduces pollution and is better for wildlife.
