How to water plants saving water

Saving water is not only important for our pocket, since lower consumption is reflected in a cheaper bill each month, but it is also essential for the care of our planet. No one can doubt that water is one of our most precious assets and that we should not waste it.

To help you in this task, we offer you these tips on how to water your plants to save water , without forgetting those who enjoy a garden.

Reuse water

There is a way to save water that is sometimes overlooked. We refer to its reuse. We must not forget that plants do not need drinking water , so you can reuse rainwater or water that you have used to rinse or clean, as long as you do not have soap or detergent.

You can also take advantage of the water for cooking food , the water from the dehumidifier if you have it or the tap water that you let run while it is not hot.

With regard to rainwater, if your home allows it, you can place a watering can or a bucket on the terrace, balcony, patio or garden to collect it and then use it for watering. Another option is to prepare a water barrel or collector .

Select an efficient irrigation system

Among the different irrigation systems that you can install to save water , the most efficient is the drip one. The drip system is a method that you can adopt both for pots as well as the garden or orchard, whatever the size. It helps to maintain the humidity level and it is not necessary to have a lot of water pressure.

However, if you only have a couple of plants or a small group of potted specimens, you can use a watering can by measuring the water to be spilled very well and taking advantage of what you collect from the rain or from other uses.

When it comes to grass , if you don't want to waste water, forget about the hose and schedule and place the sprinklers around the garden in a suitable way, so that it is spilled in the exact places and does not end up on walls, paths or branches. You will have to check frequently that it is properly adjusted so as not to be surprised when watering the garden . Finally, a good trick to know if the grass needs to be watered is to walk on it: if your footprints are marked, the grass asks for water.

Choose the best time to water the plants

The chosen irrigation system will be of little use if you do it in full sun and with high temperatures, which will only make most of the water evaporate and not touch the ground. It is best to water when it is not windy outside, since this contributes to half of the water going elsewhere, as well as watering in the early hours of the day or at dusk . In addition to saving water, you will prevent the drops from serving as a magnifying glass and burning the leaves of the plants in hot weather.

Similarly, if it is outdoor plants and it has rained overnight or in the morning, keep in mind that it is very likely that you do not need to water, so save water for another day.

Lay down a cushioned floor
If you form a bed at the feet of the plant, with pine bark , gravel, mulch, straw or similar, you will help to keep moisture and the water does not evaporate at high speed. This option is especially useful in gardens, large pots and planters. In addition, if you leave the branches low and do not prune them, the soil moisture is also maintained, so you should only remove them when strictly necessary.

Group the plants according to their needs
If in your house there are many plants or a good garden and you have the possibility of distributing them thanks to the space you have, keep in mind that their placement will also help you save water. If you group the species that need a similar amount, it will facilitate irrigation by zones or even the most appropriate placement of a drip system .

Thus, organize a humid area , an intermediate area and a drier area . In addition, those specimens that need more water should be placed near the lawn, since it has to be watered frequently.

Also, keep in mind that the native plants are adapted completely to the environment, so they need less water , while other climatic zones may require more. In addition, the native flora contributes to caring for the environment, protecting biodiversity and avoiding invasive species .



Irrigation
