A well-planned Mediterranean garden can use half the water of a conventional one.
Drip irrigation with a controller: less evaporation and water right at the roots.
5 to 8 cm of mulch: cuts evaporation by up to 60 % and limits weeds.
Resilient species: lavender, rosemary, agave, oleander, olive and ornamental grasses.
Water at dawn or dusk, and check for leaks. These four habits show up in the first bill.
