How to make a garden more drought-resistant?
user
One way to make your garden more drought-resistant is to use conservation strategies such as mulching, reducing water evaporation, and planting drought-resistant plants that require less water.

1. Use mulch: Add a layer of mulch to your garden to help retain moisture in the soil and reduce water evaporation. This can be done by using mulch materials like hay, straw, leaves, or bark chips.
2. Reduce water evaporation: Use a drip irrigation system that slowly releases water directly to the roots of your plants. Avoid using overhead sprinklers that can waste water through evaporation.
3. Plant drought-resistant plants: Choose plants that need less water and choose plants that are appropriate for your climate. Plant trees, shrubs or groundcovers that create shade to reduce evaporation.
4. Use rainwater harvesting: Collect rainwater by using a rain barrel or cistern and use it to water your plants when they need it.
5. Monitor soil moisture: Check your soil moisture every week and only water your plants when the soil is dry.
6. Avoid watering during peak sunlight: Water your plants early in the morning or late afternoon to reduce water evaporation.
