Download or read book Beginners Guide to Xeriscape Gardening written by Lisa H Gregory Ph D and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combine the Greek word for dry, "xeri," with the English word "landscaping" and you get "xeriscaping." Although the concept was originally intended for communities that suffer frequently from drought, xeriscaping can be introduced into any yard and can add beauty to your property.Because an estimated 50 percent of water consumption in the average single-family home is used outdoors, xeriscaping offers an ideal way to minimize water waste while maintaining the beautiful landscapes of our island. Outdoor water use in a xeriscape can save anywhere from 30 to 80 percent in water consumption. This means comparable savings in water and sewer charges, as well.Xeriscape gardening is a concept that was developed in Colorado in the early 1980's to address water issues in the front range area. It is drought tolerant gardening, based on proper garden design, good quality soil, using the correct plant material, irrigating appropriately, and mulching effectively. It is an approach to gardening that allows me to have lush, without spending all my time and money watering. Public perception of xeriscaping has frequently been negative as some assume that these types of landscapes are ugly expanses of cactus and gravel. However, studies have shown that education in water conservation practices in the landscape can greatly improve the public's perception of xeriscaping.
