A Waterwise Garden, Parts 1 and 2
Part One
This article is the first of a series of articles on sustainable gardening practices.
We living here in Southern California are lucky to be in a Mediterranean climate where a huge variety of plant species can grow. However, we are not so blessed when it comes to rainfall. Here in the L.A. area, we have not received our average 14' of rain for 7 years now. This period of drought could extend for years and some experts are speculating, for decades into the future. It is therefore imperative to implement water conserving measures in our gardens.
