With extreme heat hitting the US this summer and our backyards in desperate need of some extra hydration, thinking of ways to be water-wise has never been more important. One of the most innovative ways gardeners are making watering less hassle and less wasteful is by hydrozoning.
This design trick helps reduce water waste in the yard by grouping plants with the same watering needs together. As a result, you don't end up accidentally chucking a load of water on a plant that actually prefers drier soil. Instead, certain zones of your garden will need watering more frequently, while other zones will be more drought-tolerant, reducing unnecessary watering.
