Water Zoning Principles

In a nutshell, water zoning is simply grouping plants according to their watering needs. If done properly, it can save you upwards of 50% in water usage for your garden and also safeguard against your plants competing for resources. It should always be revisited upon introducing new plants and redesigning of your garden. You’ll want to group according to Low, Medium and High Usage.
