  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waterwise Beautification Hydrozone Your Landscape
    A smart hydrozoning plan can reduce landscape water use by 20% to 70% and even reduce the need for chemicals. How might you reorganize or group the plants in your landscape or project?

    Instead of scattering differing varieties, grouping by drought resistance and hardiness, keeping my veggies in a central location since they require more water than most others. Refreshing mulch as necessary to also make a bigger impact.
