1. Have less lawn and more plants or paving – this reduces water usage.
2. Plant Australian native species – work with your surroundings, not against them.
3. Use your lawn clippings and food waste in a compost or mulch area.
4. Water your garden in the evening rather than the middle of the day – this will reduce evaporation
5. Make or install a pond – this is great for wildlife
6. Install a rainwater tank
7. Grow your own food – start with herbs… (food is about 30% of your carbon footprint)
8. Cover your pool or spa – this will also reduce evaporation
9. Group your plants to even out water use
10. Prepare the soil to maximise drainage
