Simple steps: save water in the garden

This may seem derisory but a few harmless gestures can save us a little water. This will change the dark future of the environment, maybe not but good ...

A little "nice", all that !!! To put it mildly.

1) The base: we do not water with tap water, but by collecting rainwater (cistern, pond ...)

2) Then: choice of crops; some are more "greedy" than others

3) Soil: organic matter in the soil = "sponge"; it stores the rains and returns them to the plants as they go

4) Ground cover: avoids runoff and evaporation (mulch, ...)

5) And then, in fact, watering in the morning / evening, drip rather than sprinkling, watering a lot sometimes rather than a little every day (in agriculture, there is a "water tower" per plot; the sprinkler is moved ...). Etc ...

we divide by 2, water consumption by the way
from sprinkling to drips

we divide by 4 or 5, the water consumption by the way
from sprinkling to underground irrigation located at the root

we divide by 10, water consumption by the way
from sprinkling to above-ground cultivation

minima
a funnel sunk temporarily into the ground
which directs the water from the watering can directly into the basement (10cm),
near the root.
