- Choose plants that use less water. This usually refers to native plants used as ornamental plants. Native plants are typically better adapted to the local climate, including rainfall, than imported species.

Xeriscape in Action
Never heard that before. Interesting.

minimise watering and deeply water veges when we do and mulch .

my real problem here is the wildlife but it is their forest so I am learning to take it…
