SPRING PLANTING TIME AND WATER CONSERVATION As the weather begins to get warmer, take time to think about your lawn and garden. Planning is the key to successful water conservation. - Select plants and trees that are drought tolerant. Some examples are crape myrtle, oleander, wild lilac and rosemary. - To increase plant health and conserve water, add organic matter such a mulch to the soil of shrub and flowerbed areas. This increases the soil's ability to absorb and store water in a form available to the plant. - Composting not only removes waste from landfills, but also provides rich organic planting material. - Consider using drip irrigation, where the water gets directly to the plants' roots.
