eW/FS/WE/001 DCi Do not irrigate for an unnecessary long period. Do not irrigate during the heat of the day, because then the water evaporates the most. Rather irrigate in the early mornings or late afternoons. Install rainwater tanks, which catch all the rainwater that falls on your house’s roof. Use this water for irrigation. Plant endemic South African plants. That is plants that occur naturally in South Africa only, such as proteas, succulents and cacti. They are better adapted to our climate and use less water.
