Arid conditions in our region of Montana make us ever mindful of ways to conserve water. Becoming water-efficient is not difficult when we put our minds to it.
Here are some ways you can stretch limited water in your landscape:
Water during cooler hours, morning or evening
Use mulch to limit evaporation
Practice deep watering with longer intervals
Use compost to help retain moisture
Group plants with similar water needs
Limit use of thirsty turf
Use dryland native plants
Install an irrigation system
Avoid water run-off
