Creating a water-efficient garden suited to the Tunisian climate
Faced with hot, dry summers, limiting a garden's water use has become a common concern in Tunisia. Here is how to achieve it without sacrificing aesthetics.
Good habits for saving water
- Water early morning or evening to limit evaporation
- Mulch flower beds to retain soil moisture longer
- Group plants by their water needs for more targeted watering
- Favour deep, less frequent watering over short daily watering on established shrubs
Does natural lawn have a place in a water-efficient garden?
Yes, provided you adapt watering frequency to the season and your region, and avoid mowing too short, which helps the soil retain moisture longer.
