What can I do to conserve water in my garden?
As A Water Saver Garden Centre Poyntons can offer some great advice on conserving water and maintaining a healthy garden. Mulch, mulch, mulch. Mulch works in many ways to conserve water. It reduces moisture loss through evaporation, suppresses weed growth that competes for water and helps to keep the root zone cool.
Consider installing products to divert rainwater and grey water to be used in the garden.
What is a dripper system?
A dripper system drips water on or near to the root zone of plants. The system must use a fixed rate of flow that does not exceed nine litres per hour for every linear metre of watering system.
Can I convert my existing watering systems to a dripper system?
Yes. Existing sprinkler heads can be removed and replaced with drip emitters. Existing holes can be plugged or end caps used on risers. Please see 'irrigation' under hardware in left hand margin for some easy to achieve solutions.
Can I use Grey Water on my vegetable garden?
We advise against using grey water on edible fruits and vegetables due to the risk of infectious microorganisms being present.
Untreated grey water is best diverted from the bath, shower and laundry rinse cycle only.
Using untreated grey water in your garden means you may need to cut back on the amount of fertiliser you use.
Keep an eye on how your plants react when you start using grey water, and consult a nursery person if you notice any changes.
Why is my plant not flowering?
There are numerous reasons for plants to not flower when we expect.
Has the plant had sufficient time to reach maturity. Most annuals will flower within 3 months of planting, however some may take a little longer as they are not a true annual.
Is the plant receiving enough sunlight? Some plants require a minimum number of hours in full sunlight to flower.
